This week we are writing about hands!

I love hands. You can tell a persons age by looking at their hands. They can hide a lot with make-up on their faces. But you usually can't hide your age on your hands. My hands look just like my mom's hands looked as she grew older. I look at my hands and I remember my mom. I have crazy, crooked fingers with short thin nails. And age spots. Lots of age spots. Shows that I worked in the sun and never used a lick of sun-screen on the backs of my hands. Wish I could go back and change that but alas I cannot.

The chubby little hands of a baby are the best though. With all the little wrinkles and folds. And the way they wrap their whole hand around your finger, in such a trusting way. I miss the babies and their sweet little hands. We communicate so much with our hands, don't we?
Stop
Great post. You are so right - we can tell so much about a person by their hands. Glad you were able to get back to writing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy!
DeleteVery nicely done Paula! I look at my hands and I see my mom's hands too. We truly do communicate a lot with our hands; I tend to talk a lot with them, LOL :)
ReplyDeletebetty
I don't think I use mine all that much to talk. I will have to pay attention!
DeleteI can't complete a sentence without my hands! LOL - I don't know whose hands I see when I look at mine - but I love my hands best when one is holding my husbands! Our hands do tell a story - thank you for sharing yours!
ReplyDeleteYes they do. Thanks for stopping by
DeleteGood job on this. I enjoyed it. Recently my daughter completed a session of volunteering at Horses for Hope with an autistic child. He didn't want to hold her hand, but liked holding on her arm, just above the wrist. I got a picture of that and it is precious. I hope to post about it soon.
ReplyDeleteThat is sweet Fancy!
DeleteGreat job Paula....we really do communicate a lot with our hands.
ReplyDeleteYes, we do Wendy!
DeleteI love your description of Richard's hands, Paula. ... honest, I did a little "awwww" at the mentioned of he and Harley holding hands. Now, that's the Good Stuff.
ReplyDeleteMy own fingers probably tell a sorry tale. I never outgrew chewing on my cuticles; they're wide and stubby like my dad's. Mom's? I actually did a post a few years ago about her hands. Here's that link if you'd like to read it sometime: http://mevely317.blogspot.com/search?q=Momma%27s+hands
Of course I would like to read it...yep he is a hand-holder
DeleteSuch a sweet post. Have I mentioned lately how much I love to read about you and Richard? And you're right about baby hands!
ReplyDeleteYou are too sweet Lisa. Richard and I are just ordinary people on a journey for life!
