Good Afternoon Campers from Camp Sunnyside!! It's Thankful Thursday!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for Power of Touch!! When you see a doctor and they try to diagnose you, they touch you where it hurts to see if they can feel what's going on. When we meet someone new or greeted somewhere or make a business deal, we shake hands. When we first start dating some one, we hold hands. As parents, we hold our children's hands. When we get a massage, the therapist, feels where the knot in the muscle is and massage that area to release the tightness in the muscle.A reflexologolist can do reflexology on your feet and can tell where you may be having a problem in the body just by touching your feet. As a hairstylist cuts your hair, we feel the hair for the texture to determine if we need to cut it a certain way, we feel the hair for the condition of the hair to determine what kinds of products to use on your hair and we feel the hair to make sure that its even. These are just a few examples of the Power of Touch. Can you imagine if we didn't have nerve endings in our fingers? Can you imagine if we went through life without shaking someone's hand, or the doctor touching you where it hurts? What about technology? We wouldn't be able to type or use our phones if we couldn't touch. We take for granted that everyone gets some touch every day. The reality is, there are lots of people who don't want to be touched and there are people who don't have anyone to touch. What if you are having a bad day and you are at your desk at work and someone comes up to and touches your shoulder and asks are you OK?? Imagine what message that sends to the brain. It shows this person cares!! So the next time, you reach out to shake someone's hand or a doctor exams you be thankful for their power of touch. May your day be filled with Powerful Touches by your loved ones and by your business connections!! Happy Thankful Thursday!!
