For every last thing. And yet people without hands find a way to do these things. I think my favourite is holding babies and blowing kisses. Both things I am doing right now with our littlest grandchild.

What a wonderful, creative list, Denyse. Our hands certainly do serve us well, don't they? So often, we take them for granted until something hurts or isn't working the way it normally does. Thanks for reminding me to appreciate all of the amazing things my hands do for me.

What a list, Denyse and it's amazing all the things we do with our hands that are done subconsciously. Nothing like holding a new born baby is there? Great photos and so many lovely memories for you. x #WWhimsy

It is a wonderful gratitude post <3 Made me even more grateful to go through the list a second time asking myself how I would do each one without hands. Thank-you!

What a great list! It's a good reminder of how helpful our hands are and how many of those things we probably take for granted! Loved all the pics!

Ahhhh Denyse - what a good reminder to never take our hands for granted. They allow us to do so much and that is something to truly be grateful for. Thank you so much for linking up with #WWWhimsy - have a wonderful week! xo

Wow Denyse, so many uses for our hands - you've made a comprehensive list that's for sure! High fives are good fun and my gym instructor uses them to congratulate us after finishing a gym session.

I love this fun post Denyse. It made me stop and think about how my hand strength has deteriorated, but I'm very fortunate and happy to still have the use of them, even if they are a bit weaker than a few years ago.

What a fun post Denyse - and it also made me appreciate the little things that we take for granted. As arthritis is beginning to show up in my world, I'm even more aware of how fortunate I am to have working limbs and hands and feet. Loved all your photos.

I love the high five in celebration. Under utilised in my opinion!
