comity (n.) - mutual courtesy; civility.
A little bit of mutual courtesy can go a long way when we’re all feeling frazzled and stressed. While there are times and places when sharp remarks and direct action are appropriate, it’s important to be able to distinguish those situations. When in doubt, I try civility, first.
And if I’m honest, I’m always better at being civil after I’ve had some stitching time. Knitting helps smooth my ruffled feathers and calm my overheated emotions, especially when I know I’m overreacting to a mild situation. Working on these socks helped keep me civil during a particularly cranky phase, and I hope you find them helpful, too, if you could use a little boost.
