On Washing Your Hands
Iโve been washing my hands much more often and with greater intent lately. I hope the same applies to you.
The other day I discovered a fun tool to help reinforce the practice of washing your hands. A big shout out goes to William Gibson who created Wash Your Lyrics.
Before dinner, I asked my family to name their favorite songs. I plugged each song title into Wash Your Lyrics and printed a mini-poster to refer to as they scrubbed up. Iโve included The Tragically Hipโs โBobcaygeonโ here as an example.
Some Thoughts on Washing Your Hands
But seriously folksโฆ
As I was cleaning my hands the other day something occurred to me. I pictured who I was washing my hands for. I imagined my kids and Heather. My friends, family, neighbors, our community, and perhaps even humanity. Oh, and myself too.
As the soapy suds dripped down the drain from my fingers, I began to take deep breaths. In deeply for a few seconds, out deeply for a few seconds. I looked in the mirror and pictured the people in my life and how much I love them.
Who are you washing your hands for?
