Challenge ~ Fingers and Thumbs

Detail from a bell pull worked over 50 years ago by a gentleman who,
as the result of a stroke, had lost the use of his fingers and thumb on his right hand.
He learnt how to use his left hand and teeth to embroider and weave!

I'm always amazed at how people can overcome their life's handicaps
to do things that make you feel your own trivial problems are so small
in comparison.
A lesson to learn.
