In times of war, women knit socks. When babies are too premature to fit in regular clothes, women knit tiny hats for them. When England demanded the American colonies not manufacture their own fabric, rebels built more looms (and knit.) When there is nothing else you can do to fight any enemy, try knitting. Crocheting and sewing work, too, of course. So does baking, building a boat, growing a garden.
In other words, taking care of your family is the most important work you can do most days. Don't let fear, uncertainty, or even poverty keep you from doing what you can. One of my favorite movie quotes is from "We Were Soldiers" in which those in training are told "There is always one more thing you can do." Always. So ask yourself what your "one more thing" is today. Then do it, whether it is planting a tree, knitting a sock, or calling your grandmother.
Today I am going to make soup, finish knitting a scarf, and write a new letter for my mailing list. What will you do? I'd love to hear from you, so make a comment, please.
