Thank you for your beautiful w...Hello Micheline,<br /> Thank you for your beautiful words, I finally had a chance to read them this morning and it was worth the wait. My hands are now paying the price of years of over work, I talk with them now thanking them for years of service hoping I can still get many more years out of them. And my cat also a big red tabby I give him a rub and kiss thankful he is still with me but too wish him to pass on his own perhaps he will be the hunted one day. And I had a princess outfit but didn't care for it much I can still remember the picture we took of me so we could send it back to the person whom sent the dress. Thank you, you brought me to tears, memories and smiles all in 10 minutes time. <br />Peacefully<br />Heidi KummliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613859325326147935.post-36337075552153572322010-04-28T14:06:38.746-07:002010-04-28T14:06:38.746-07:00Lovely writing about something we often take for g...Lovely writing about something we often take for granted.

It's also sad when you see the deformities that comes with arthritis, some days it makes you feel old.<br /> But even with pain I found a way to create something with them, it's imperative, because it's part of who you are when you create.<br /> So I make a wish for you today, that you will always have the use of your hands so that you can continue in your creative way, always!<br /> Micheline, in LCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613859325326147935.post-19540563148666889922010-04-26T08:54:25.454-07:002010-04-26T08:54:25.454-07:00Dear Micheline,
All that has been said about hands...Dear Micheline,<br />All that has been said about hands is true. Ours hands are the ultimate communicator from our body. Like you, I receive enormous pleasure from using my hands to create--to LIVE! Just recently I used my hands to plant a huge spring garden of tomatoes, peppers, onions, squashes, eggplant, and strawberries. In the front of the house I lined the already blooming rose bushes with deep blue lobelia. <br /><br />But, there is a snag. Humans need their eyes to use their hands to create effectively. I don't have full use of my eyes and alas I cannot design and sew right now. I long to feel the touch of fabric textures as they are pushed through the sewing machine. I miss the ability to thread a needle that blooms a garden on a jacket in appliques. A part of me is missing. <br /><br />Today I meet with a retina specialist to see if a third eye operation is necessary. Please send your good wishes up into the Universe. I am extremely grateful for your intervention on my behalf. I am still hopeful that my eyesight will return--and that my hands will continue to flourish in future projects.Linda Ramseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613859325326147935.post-26630377137821895312010-04-26T07:24:29.621-07:002010-04-26T07:24:29.621-07:00Merci Michou ton texte sur les mains est tellement...Merci Michou ton texte sur les mains est tellement sensible , reel et si bien decrit no more can be said, Bravo<br /><br />Nounette<br /><br />Your text on the hands is so sensible, real and and so well described, no more can be said.<br />Nounette ( Micheline's translation)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613859325326147935.post-87376298857916928142010-04-25T15:44:10.622-07:002010-04-25T15:44:10.622-07:00Wonderful recognition of that which I sometimes ta...Wonderful recognition of that which I sometimes take for granted; until, like recently, I hurt one of my fingers and had to get a few stitches in it.
