Regarding Janet Reno: I highly regard the way she has handled her position. I know many if not most of us who find ourselves in situations similar though not as weighty try to handle our stress as though it is not there. I firmly believe she is more than up to the job. As I observe her, with her hand shaking and moving fingers to disguise the shaking the word intergity comes to mind. Her steadfast adherence makes me comfortable to the quality and soundness of her decisions. Being human,I can also accept the possibility she can be wrong. However as I observe her I realize more and more that life is a game. How we play the game is the test. If we fold( follow the popular thinking of the day)we become "common" just one of the crowd. She has been willing to stand alone. Parkinsons as I have come to accept is an unwanted guest. The game I have had to play with this guest has kept me on my toes and I have made me do public things to test myself. Should I slink away and put myself on the shelf? Or test myself with how far I can go. So far I have been having a good time inspite of my unvited guest. Yes, when I am on display and my leg starts to twist and shake and it is pointed out to me my actions. I acknowledge why. Or when I am sitting, waiting and my leg starts to move and or my hand or hands starts to shake or my writing is smaller and it gets so small that I can not be read. Or the phone rings, my voice when answering squeeks at first. It can't be any better all the time. Just watch me when I am rested, tanked up(medicine taken),and dressed. I usually have a good time. You know, God Loves YOU. So...... get on with it; life. L&K S
