[...] As we’ve embarked on a more self-sufficient lifestyle, we’ve involved ourselves in a process of learning many practical skills (which means I’ll be doing a lot of my own car maintenance now and then…I’ve gotten better at that). I’ve noticed a lot of others doing the same — tackling the learning of practical skills to broaden our abilities and quality of life rather than forgoing them or having to hire others and thereby remain dependent on available help.

You inspired me to gave it another shot and, guess what, I’ve just made the most delicious, perfectly set strawberry jam I have ever eaten!

It feels great to have overcome that mental block. Next on my list is making a wooden box and then knitting a pair of socks.
