@hopeful33250, @jimb- I still have some triggers though I just checked another one off my long held list. Just got back from Victoria B.C. and went out on a small whalewatching tour boat quite a ways out into the ocean. Luckily is was very calm and there were lots of Humbacks & Orcas for distractions!
All in all walking for me is a great stress reliever. I generally go 4-5 times a week on a 3 1/2 mile trek that is mostly wooded and on some boardwalks through some ponds & creeks that always have lots of wildlife.
Also, since writing is the toughest for me I try noy to put myself in situations that when I need to do it I do it earlier in the day and if it's out in public I try to move down the counter out of the way or simply have my wife sign for me. Seek to be joyful! Jim @thankful

Good thoughts, @thankful. I appreciate you sharing!

I lost my writing about 5 years ago, but the bank made me a stamp with my writing before
I lost it, so I can sign my name on legal things. When I have to have things filled out, like
in a doctor's office, I always ask for help and tell them I can't write.
I can't raise a glass to my mouth so with everything I drink I use a straw, In my wine I got these
stir straws and that works. I hate essential tremor, I have had this since I was 20 and I am 81
now, so you see I have dealt with this for many years. I make a lot of messes for myself to
clean up all the time.
What really is bad is so many people do not know what ET is, they don't have enough funding to get it out to the public.
