Look down at your hands right now. What are they doing? If you are on a computer, my guess is that one is on the mouse and the other is located in the general area of your keyboard, or holding a cup of something, like tea. (I wish I had tea, right now. ) If you are reading this on your phone, like a blackberry (a.k.a. 'crackberry', always wondered where that nickname came from.) or an iPhone (I have an iPhone!) one hand is holding your phone and the other is on the steering wheel. Kidding! (Hopefully.)
Hands are very important and often taken for granted, until they are in pain or being adorned with rings.
So, I think that we should all take a moment once a month to appreciate our hands and let them rest. Let them do nothing. Type with your feet for a day, text with your toes and turn in your drum set for a pair of tap shoes.
Now that the tribute is out of the way, the all important discussion. Which, because this is a blog will be mostly one-sided.
When I was younger, my mom said 'I'm sorry, it looks like you got your dad's hands'.
My mom has really long, thin fingers. Her ring size is like 4 or 5. My ring size is 9, which I never thought about as being anything but normal, until then. Now, I wonder. Are my hands too big? Are my fingers too short?
But, what is normal for hands? What is abnormal? What makes them beautiful or ugly?
If people start asking these questions, is cosmetic surgery for hands going to become a common phenomenon?
Most people say above 5'8 is tall, and below is short. There are also assumptions about weight as well.
With all the things people have standards and assumptions about, why aren't there any about hands?
Is it that I just don't know about them?
Does anyone else wonder if there hands look good? Do they think there are hands are there best feature?
(Can you imagine? 'Yes, my best feature is my phalanges. They are long and luxurious. They make everyone jealous.")
So many questions about hands, any one have any answers?
