I have lived a good life and plan to live an even better one for the rest. But looking back I was always busy achieving stuff and although it is all good stuff, there were many smaller personal goals that slipped through the cracks along the way. This isn't a sob story of what might have been, but rather a reminder, a reset, to pick some of the missed items back up and get it right this time. And for sure to quit short changing ones self when just a little less busy-ness would allow some balance.
So here is my latest - I love knives and have been planning to get one made that ticks every single box, something really special. I collected some handle wood, old dense bauganvillia and hung it under the eaves for 20 years. Eventually I commissioned the knife, was meaning to give the maker that wood, got too busy, and the knife arrived in the meantime. All wrong! The wood is bland and uninspiring. This time I am not accepting that. So back it goes and we will put the correct wood on, no compromise.
What is your pickup item now that you have more time, or ready not to waste the precious stuff?
