I had to retire early do to a disability. I have a disease called Scleroderma; it is nasty painful debilitating disease that affects the connective tissue by hardening it, that then limits joint flexibility, and also can affect internal organs, which it has done, causing pulmonary hypertension- so my breathing is not so good.. My hands are in the shape of a C so I have had to figure out how to do things differently, in this process I learned that I don''t need to be very mobile or exert a lot of energy to take pictures. I love taking and sharing pictures, it truly makes me happy, and a positive happy outlook does a lot to deal with life!
