This week's topic for Tine's Studio Friday was suggested by Andrea. My Work Hands.
Great topic. It made me look at my hands. I use my hands everyday, as we all do. They work. They play. They feel. They hold. They are the receptors of so much love in my life. From my husband's hand, my daughter's cheek, our cat's warm, soft fur, etc. They get me through the day. I take them for granted and ask a lot of them. I probably don't treat them as well as I should. I don't do much to my nails. I crack my knuckles. I use moisturizer once in awhile but they've really got to need it. I do keep them very clean though (germ freak).
They are dependable, loyal...like good friends...always there for me. More like family. Guess I should treat them better. Give them more respect. Give them the attention they deserve.
"Hands, if you're not busy tomorrow morning, you want to go get a cup of coffee?" Just me and you. If the answer's yes, just give me a thumbs up!" :-)
mmmm now I want coffee :)

Cute conversation with hands. Mine are complaining that they're dry. I'm off to grab some lavender hand cream....

This is great Michelle, we do forget about our hands. Especially with my kind of job we always wash our hands constantly but I put lotion on it to keep it moist! I like this topic.

Having a conversation with your hands, are you alright sister dear? I would never do such a thing, just ask Mom. But more importantly sister, did your hands answer back? If they could have they would have no doubt told you how very busy they are, although never too busy for coffee, I'm sure!
p.s. How nice to see your hands again after all this time since our last visit.

Your hands reply:
"Oh we are happy to be here, to be part of you!! Even if you do crack us (knuckles)we like most the things you do, ;) we applaud you!"

maybe, our hands can talk to each other and while we're having some coffee.

All too often we forget to appreciate our most precious tools; our hands! We so SO MUCH with them yet give them little or no thought. I think today's entry for Studio Friday is a great tribute to recognise that which enables us to create! Have a great weekend! I look forward to next Friday's journey!!
