It's the right day to be Left!

Today is Left-Hander's Day, a day to celebrate those who use their left hand.

Only about 8-15% of people are born left handed.  But don't think you are alone. Here are some famous people who are left handed.
  • Baseball Great Babe Ruth
  • Basketball star Larry Bird
  • Actor Jim Carrey
  • Actress Julia Roberts
  • Actress Angelina Jolie
  • Musician Jimmi Hendrix
  • Prince William of England
  • Neil Armstrong, first man on the moon
  • Matt Groening, creator of the cartoon show The Simpsons
  • Artist Leonardo da Vinci
  • Musicians Mozart and Beethoven
  • Scientist Albert Einstein
Several Presidents were left handed: Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush (father), Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama.

My husband, my father-in-law, and my uncle are left handed.

Are you left handed? Is someone in your family left handed?

Then today is all about you!
