By Hand

You know, I’ve been thinking about what some people have and what others don’t.  Today, I looked at my oft-taken-for-granted hands and reflected on how they have helped me carve out a creative, beautiful and satisfying life.  I then quietly but passionately thought: Thank You.

    I think they reflect a life fully lived. Works of art in and of themselves…

    Awww, I just read this post and it was beautiful. I really enjoyed seeing these pics, especially the last one. Reminds me of our Tia Ruth – old hands that have been through too much.

    Love you.
