These beautiful hands of mine


These are my hands, I love these cre8tive hands, 61 1/2 years old. I love these hads that God gave me. They fabricate all kinds of things, like, jewelry, pillows,cowls, hats, cuffs, purses, earrings, fingerless gloves, scarves and other things too numerous to name. These hands also are used to eat too much, gesture too much when talking, cover my eyes during scary movies (which I hate), dry my tears when the pain in my body becomes too much to bear, comfort my friends when times are tough, hug little child and big kids too!!! I hated when they started to look older, I wanted my hands  to stay soft and supple, since I got so many compliments on their softness.
 I thank God that the blood still runs warm in them and the rest of my body. Sometimes, we don't appreciate our body parts, but as I'm now getting older, I'm learning to appreciate all of me. I'm so glad too be alive with my  only problems being two knees, which need to be replaced.  My type 2 diabetes is gone, how?  By changing my lifestyle to eating almost 90% clean  raw foods. I exercise every other day and use resistance weights. I drink green juice daily. I'm falling deeply in love... with Vietnamese (?) vegetarian Pho soup. I'm even teaching myself to make spring rolls from scratch. I purchased the ingredients at my neighborhood Korean grocer. I'm so excited. I just wanted to take time out and reflect on something other than what  craft I made today. I wanted to tell you how grateful I am to be alive. I will live and not die and declare to all what God has done for me!!!!
