In your home are homey things, and some were gifts, or were found, or inherited. In your kitchen, something was made by hand, or found in an attic, maybe. There might be a favorite bowl, or a cup with a story. We have one special spoon. I like the hand towels. I got tea for my birthday.
Who showed you how to scramble eggs? When did you learn to bake? What do you think about how to arrange your refrigerator?
Is there flexibility in there? Are there more reasons to laugh than to fear?
Be open to happy memories and gratitude for your knowledge and equipment.
