Hello NATIONAL TODAY.. How nice of you to join us!
This sounds like a very nice Holiday!
National Hand Holding Day arrives every August 9th.
A study conducted by the University of North Carolina further demonstrated the remarkable effects of holding hands.
During the study, several couples were assembled and told to give speeches. In the events leading up to their presentations, one-half of the couples sat together and held hands, after which they embraced for 20 seconds while another group sat away from their significant others before giving their speech.
When tested, it was discovered that the people who were separated from their partners had higher heart rates and their blood pressures rose twice as high as the couples who held hands and hugged each other. This illustrates the positive effects that hand holding can have on people’s emotions and stress levels.

There you have it, all of you Hand Holders!
Yes! Oh Yes! Patti and hold hands a lot. Sitting in meetings. Watching television. Walking out in public. In bed as I read to Patti and as we just visit.
Cap and Patti
