My Hands Are Deliciously Pretty Today

My sweet little hands are deliciously pretty today. I looked down and I complimented them in a big way. They laughed, giggled, tittered and twirled, so decidedly gay. Glad of my admiration, thrilled with a little love, they play. I wish I would do this more often. It really would pay. They deserve so much more than they get each day. They give all day long. I admire them in every way. I may have a parade in their honor at two; can you stay?

You are the only person that I know of whom spoils her own hands with compliments. What about your eyes, nose, feet, toes, knees? Don't you think they might get a little tired of being ignored, in favor of your hands?

I am taking one part at a time actually. The hands do the typing and they control a lot of what I do.

I love this Caren, it is one of the first things I notice about people, their hands. It tells so much about a person.

Sounds like you just came back with a manicure! I think my fingers are short and stubby so I never wanted to give them a parade - you always surprise me!

They are short and stubby and polka dot from age spots, but I love them for they type 87 words per minute.
