Wonder-full Wednesday

About a month ago, I stumbled across a fabulous blog that now makes me smile on a regular basis. Every day over at Wonders Never Cease, author Becky Ramsey posts a different ‘wonder’ of the world. It’s the perfect way to remind myself to appreciate the little things…and there are usually some pretty cool pictures too. This week, she challenged all of her readers to post a wonder of their own so here you will find mine. Thanks to the people over at flickr for allowing me to use some of the photos below (Well, the good ones are from flickr, the less impressive ones belong to me!)




Today’s Wonder is HANDS!

I love hands.




















Young or old; weak or strong; soft and smooth or rough and hardened…hands say it all. Certainly no other appendage is quite so multitalented. In fact, I bet feet are pretty jealous.

Hands can point, touch, caress, even hide.

They count, write, type.

They tap, tickle, reach, hold.














Hands reveal a lot about a person.

In fact, they’re downright terrible at keeping secrets…
Remember when Scarlett’s calloused hands revealed that she’d been working in the cotton fields! Oh, the shame!

And what about this secret?

Yikes! Whose hand is that? She must have some sort of medical condition...Oh, the shame!



















Yes, now I’m embarrassed. Certainly my poor nails don’t deserve such abuse, and yet…
Am I stressed?
Nervous?
Maybe…hungry?
Or simply crazy?
Well…that’s another secret altogether.


But on this wonder-full Wednesday, I will let these magic hands remind you that it’s a wonder-full world!
