Hands<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Hands –<\/strong> So many lines to follow. It is said that a palm reader can predict your future by searching out the different lines in your hand and where they lead to and where they come from. <\/span><\/p>\n

As you get older the lines increase. Are those new stories or just the memories of past stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hands –<\/strong> Looking at my hands they must be telling a number of tales. \u00a0I certainly have a lot more stories evident when the weather gets cold and my hands dry out. There are lines everywhere, all intersecting and branching all over.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hands –<\/strong> Then there are the marks on the hands and fingers. The scar from when the doctor removed that wart. I never got to put that on my draft card as an identifying, distinguishing feature that is unique to me. <\/span><\/p>\n

That black dot in the middle of my palm from the pencil that I accidentally jabbed into it when I was a kid. A memory of the piece left behind that remained. <\/span><\/p>\n

That was so long ago. The hands tell it all<\/span><\/p>\n

Hands –<\/strong> that when laid down on paper and traced, made the image of a perfect turkey on Thanksgiving. I must have done it, though I don\u2019t remember. Every classroom teacher and art teacher made you do it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hands –<\/strong> they are also your welcome to each other. When I was young, an older man, Simon, once told me \u201cyou have grip people with a firm handshake. It shows them that you are confident in yourself and a good person\u201d. He taught me by squeezing my hand as hard whenever he shook my hand. If I wasn\u2019t prepared, it hurt. If I was, I would squeeze his hand as hard as I could. I thought to myself,I\u201d know what you\u2019re going to do and I will get there before you can.\u201d I never forgot that. My handshakes are firm; no dead fish from me. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hands –<\/strong> they show appreciation. I feel much better after performing when I get applause. <\/span><\/p>\n

As hands go, they are a window into your character. They show who you are, what you think and how you feel. <\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019re a handy thing to have. – <\/span>Pun intended.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
