Day 37 - June 21, 2010 - Left is Right



“The right half of the brain controls the left half of the body. This means that only left handed people are in their right mind.” - Anonymous

My best friend & I used to say, "Lefties shall rule the world!" in High School. She and I are both left handed. They say left handed people are very creative. I know that doesn't apply to everyone, but I'm certainly a living testament to that statement. I love music, art, theater... and if it involves creating and working with my hands, I'm in! One of my favorite pass times is drawing. I'm not particularly amazing, but I enjoy it quite a lot. Since I've been home this summer, I've been doing a lot of drawing.

Some people who are/were left handed: Ronald Reagan & Barack Obama (guess it doesn't matter what you're political persuasion is), Joan of Arc, Julius Caesar, Charlemagne, Napoleon, (maybe lefties WILL rule the world), Hitler (UGH!) Helen Keller, Lewis Carroll (I knew i liked him for some reason!), Mark Twain, H.G. Wells, Ringo Starr (yeah!!), Keanu Reeves, Charlie Chaplin, Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo da Vinci, Bill Gates, Jay Leno, Einstein, Ben Franklin ... I could keep going, but I think you get the point!

I love being left handed & it always makes me smile when someone new notices. =)
