Hand holding

Ever since my palms are dry, I am able to do weight lifting in the gym, and also carrying my kids while going out shopping. All these were never possible during my sweaty palm days.

The slippery effect was in fact dangerous for anyone doing weight lifting, if you know what I mean! Imagine the weights slipping off your grips, and falling directly onto your chest wall or neck.

I was also never able to carry my kids during outings. The sweat would come on, if I exert or constantly holding on to something. Even after a shopping spree, and my hands carrying many bags of stuff, the palms and fingers would sweat non stop, making the grip very lose and difficult to hold on to anything. Really a nuisance.

But today, I am really happy that I am able to constantly holding on to any object in hand, for a long time.

Oh yes, the best is to be able to constantly holding on to my wife's hand, and not fearing my palms would sweat again.

Sand Art

I was trying out the Sand Art painting few days ago, together with my kids, at a shopping mall. It involved scooping up sand and smearing it on the designated areas on the cardboard with a nice picture. The aim was to colorize the picture with colorful sand.

I could remember how tedious it was back in those days with sweaty palms. Those school days, when I was playing with sand or beads, my palms and fingers would sweat non stop. All the sand and beads got wet and stuck all over my palms. Nuisance!

But today, I could play with the sand again. And obviously not a single sand particle got stuck to my palms. I just slightly swing my wrists each time, and all the sand would fall off. Clean!
