“Silent thoughts hold precious moments that last forever. Probably the most ambitious person that ever lived.”
♫ These hands raised a family, these hands built a home. These hands won the heart of my loved one and with hers they were never alone. If these hands filled their task then what more could one ask. Take a look at these hard working hands ♫
~ “These Hands” sung by Hank Snow – a special tribute to my dad, from my mom
This is a quote from Mom's family's book of memories. Mom asked me to add this to the book as it was going off to press.
Hard working hands were the words that came to mind as I sat down with my coffee to start my day off with a few words.
After two days of deck cleaning, scrubbing, scraping and sanding the current state of my hands cannot be captured by a cell phone camera alone. I didn't even realize how dirty my nail beds were until I glanced down at them this morning.
I may not be the ambitious person who ever lived but I have been much more ambitious lately, if that counts for anything.
