I don’t know what is essential about it, but it is something I deal with on a daily basis. It is a tremor that affects mostly my hands and gets worse with age. I am noticing it a lot more lately and am understanding more and more how frustrating things got for my dad (whom I have to thank for this lovely genetic disorder ). I constantly search the internet for the latest research, but so for there is not much out there. One of my biggest concerns is my photography. Having a IS (Image Stabilizing) lens helps a LOT and I definitely make use of a tripod whenever possible. I just thought I would put this out there in case anyone reading has any insights on things to try that I haven’t done before!

I went out for what was supposed to be a short bit this morning. I ended up wandering the nursery aisles at Home Depot and finding my favorite flowers. I know they come out in February here but it always surprises me to see them. I ended up shooting for about an hour. A lot of the photos were pretty much exactly the same, but I just couldn’t resist.

I went to Coffee Klatch this morning to meet a friend. We ended up leaving without enjoying any coffee (or tea in my case), but I still managed to take a few pictures…

When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of the reality.
