    Celebrate Every Success

    I’ve heard many retired clients and friends say, “I don’t know how I had time to work.”  The feeling is mutual – I could have a job with the time that is spent seeing doctors.  No one told me that aging comes with six-month doctor visits.  Every disease labeled in your medical record means another Read more

    Parkinson’s and Sleep

    The title would not be as inviting if it read Parkinson’s and Lack of Sleep, but that’s my experience in my life with PD.   Each appointment with my Neurologist includes this list of questions: Do you act out your dreams?Have you ever hurt or injured a sleep partner?Do you talk in your sleep?Do you Read more

  • A New Year

    A New Year

    What goes through your mind as you head into a New Year?  Do you make New Year’s resolutions?   I remember January 2009 – my New Year’s resolution was to learn how to relax. During an 11 month period between September 2007 and August 2008, I experienced more stress than the body is made to handle. Read more

    Traditions

    A tradition is a long established custom or belief that has been passed on from one generation to another.  When I think back to Christmas traditions of my childhood, I remember my mother and the wonderful smells coming from the kitchen. My favorite was the smell of Christmas cookies.  Not just any cookie – “Christmas Read more

    Thankful

    As I sit drinking my coffee on this Thanksgiving morning, I’m thinking of my many blessings.  God has been good to me and I have so much to be thankful for. Today is a day that a vast majority of us will enjoy turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole, cakes, pies and other family favorites.  Some Read more

  • Election Anxiety?

    Election Anxiety?

    This morning I find myself wondering how my readers are feeling about the upcoming election.  I’m not wondering about which side of politics you are on, I’m wondering how it is affecting your health. I love the devotional books written by Sarah Young.  What I read this morning in her book titled Jesus Always gave Read more

I’m Susan

Thank you for visiting my site.

It is with great determination that I am living life to the fullest as I journey through my retirement years with
Heart Disease and Parkinson’s.
I hope you find encouragement as you follow along on my journey.

Motto’s I live by:

  • If you’re living in fear, you’re not living in faith.
  • Today I refuse to stress myself out about things I cannot control or change.
  • It’s hard to have a bad attitude, when you start your day with gratitude.

Favorite scripture:

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 NIV
