Even though they have a weird vein that becomes too prominent when I'm hot, I love my hands. My nails are nice and long. When I'm not being lazy, they also have a nice shape (which means they rarely have a nice shape). My fingers are long and thin, which can be frustrating if I'm trying to find a generic ring that fits. But mostly, I love that my fingers are the way they are, because they're a part of my hands.
They've held hands and patted backs and stroked hair. They've hugged too hard and caught falls. They've balled themselves into fist out of anger and have spread to blow kisses. They've clapped and wiped away tears. They've played the trumpet and skipped stones. And once, in their grandest hour, they caught a baby.
This week, I love my hands. What do you love?

is this part of the "you capture" segment? i just stumbled upon your blog- super cute- and that you capture segment seems really fun! trying to figure out how to do it :)
thanks for sharing your blog!
You do have nice hands!!! I guess I would say I like my eyes the way you do your hands!
I always thought you hand piano fingers.
and yet another post written perfectly....
Lovely post. Lovely hands. Lovely thoughts.
I love my legs. They are getting stronger every day and I'm finally comfortable enough to show them.
I do not love my hands. My hands have been too fat for the last 9 months to wear my wedding ring, which is very special to me.
I do love my ankles, because I can see them. Oh, and I live my toes too. Even unpainted!
The nurse in me looks at those veins and thinks they would be lovely for starting an IV. ;) I am jealous of your long finger nails.
For me, I love my eyes and their bright royal blue color.
Hmm... I am running out of things to say here. How long are you keeping this up? :)
I love my wrists. I really really like to wear pretty bracelets - I just never remember to buy them. And when I do wear them to work they drive me nuts if I have any amount of work to do on the computer. But my wrists are slender and delicate - which makes me happy - and I enjoy seeing sparkly things on them. :) Also, I like my sense of the ridiculous. It makes me insanely happy whenever I get super giggly with anyone - you know, the kind of laughing where you can't stop even after you are crying and snorting? And it's all over something small and dumb - too fun. :)
This is a lovely post, truly. But I have to comment on the vein thing. This just started happening to me in my hands and my feet. It freaks me out. It's totally when I'm hot, it's like they don't drain right. Ew. And a few weeks ago, I scratched hard at a vein in my foot that was swelling before I realized what was going on and I had a HUGE bruise.
Wow. So not the point of this post, but I'm glad this happens to someone else!
