041/365 J is Jackknifing for Joy
I wasn’t feeling joyful today. But George’s Swiss Army Knife photo gave me this idea!
My friend gave me this knife more than 50 years ago. He wore it on a leather cord tied to his belt loop, and was never without it…until he gave it to me. It was a prized possession, and I felt very joyful indeed to be entrusted with it. He and I were children together on an island lighthouse.
It so happens that we got in touch this year at Christmas – we haven’t spoken in at least 45 years. I reminded him of the knife, and of the several beautiful things he carved for me (here and here). We might get together later this month for a visit.
For We're Here — Joie de Vivre, and for February's Alphabet Fun.
