When we moved closer to the mountains in November I found myself in constant need of a knife to cut boxes and a multi-tool to change batteries or do even the most basic repairs. I haven’t carried a pocket knife since I was a kid and even then it was a passing interest. I’ve never been “handy” by any stretch of the imagination but I felt a compulsion to start working on that. Luckily, a couple of years ago my aunt and uncle gave me a fixed blade for Christmas and at some point during one of his visits my dad left me one of his Leatherman tools.
I love that photo, and I guess for 2023 I just hope to be as kind as possible and helpful to people in whatever small ways I can be. I'm really becoming a hermit after retiring and I am wrestling with trying to make myself go do something, anything, because I really love being at home but is it good for me? That's undecided I guess.
My husband has always carried a Swiss army knife and I'm still surprised at how handy it is. I noticed it sitting in the tv room after he left for CA (he usually has it packed in his checked bag) and I wonder if he's missing it.
I look forward to reading your newsletter. This one was great as you talked about some things that have been on my mind, so it was timely and thoughtful (as usual)! Thanks!
I really appreciate you! So much of what you write here is something I can easily identify with. Happy New Year, my friend!
