World Parkinson’s Day

On this World Parkinson’s Day, aiming to foster awareness of the disease, let us remember that we have tools available to help improve psychological well-being and support quality of life. For me, exercising my brain and body, is vital.

Haiku poetry – by virtue of its brevity, simplicity, concentration on the moment, connectedness, and power to encapsulate experience – has proved to be a powerful tool for the challenges of PD.  https://tinyurl.com/3vt3b5yv On the physical side, table tennis is my pillar of support   http://shorturl.at/giow4
