How it all began?

Loved your teaching story. I taught English and Social Studies also and loved the junior high level so much! I was a competitive runner for years until my retirement. I now take daily walks and have several creative activities to keep me busy, mostly illustrations and writing prose and poetry. This has helped me through some of the more difficult times.

I'm sorry for your struggles, but I'm glad you have had some good years. We do appreciate "time off" from the disease, but we also know that it isn't predictable no matter what we do to try to eradicate it, which, for the most part, isn't possible. Thinking positive helps!

I wish you the best journey as you go forward.

Thank you Pmmar1,

I too paint and write. Two self published books and paint in oils and watercolors (not as much as I would like). I used to run but not competitively but am lucky to get out and walk every day. I do use an indoor small treadmill and cycle which help on bad weather days. Here in the desert southwest we get a lot of wind, not good wind, and about 5 months of heat which I no longer tolerate very well, but make do. Wish I lived at the beach! Many thanks for the positive words and same to you.

Currently I am dealing with an exacerbation of some sort. Saw my pulmonologist last Friday and am on steroids and will continue taking the other meds. Taking a while to get better, but hopefully sooner than later.

Best to you as well and stay well right?
