It’s Left-Handers Day soon, let’s hear it for lefties! We’re the forgotten minority. You right-handed folks don’t know how easy you have it! If you look up left-handed in the dictionary, you find terms such as ‘awkward’, ‘clumsy’, ‘gauche’, ‘sinister’, ‘insincere’, ‘maladroit’. Now, is that really fair?

There are so many things right-handers take for granted – learning to knit & crochet; learning to play the guitar, piano – even trumpet; playing sports such as golf or hockey; using a pair of scissors, knife, egg beater or tin opener. I could go on & on…

Left-handers are meant to be more artistic, creative and intelligent. Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo – both lefties. Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe – both lefties. Albert Einstein and Aristotle, yeah, you guessed it, both lefties.

Let’s hear it for lefties!
