Penny Hall's sensitive fingers are her eyes. As a massage therapist, she uses those fingers to good advantage. "I thoroughly enjoy my work," says Hall, 63, who has been in the field since 1998.

Hall is blind but that’s no disability for her. In fact, some of her clients are thankful that she's blind because they are self-conscious about their bodies, she said. But regardless of the shape of the person on the massage table, Hall's first concern is comfort.

"Are you warm enough?" Hall asked Rucker, one of her client. Not only was Rucker warm, but she was also surprised by how thorough the massage was. Massage helps reduce pain and increases circulation, Hall explained.

A native of Bloomington (Indiana, U.S.), Hall began losing her sight when she was 13 due to a virus caused by pigeon dropping. By age 30, she couldn't see a thing.

But she tries not to let blindness restrict her. She maintains her sense of humor, insisting, "If you don't have a sense of humor you are flat out of luck." Hall, a mother of two, also plays golf. "Tiger Woods I'm not, but I have friends that I play with," she said.

And, for her husband, Prescott "Pete" Lustig, 84, "Living with her is like living with someone who can see”.
