"What have I recently introduced into my life that's brought me peace, joy, or comfort?" I am excited by the kintsugi kit. Last night i fixed one, and made significant progress on another of the two broken tiny china plates of a set of four. We'd bought them to be cat plates, for serving things like the dab of whipping cream we give Luigi after dosing him with a pill each night. The plates were a pleasure to replace the ad hoc yogurt lid or dinner plate. Breaking a few was, well, OK, they weren't incredibly precious, but i chipped the first one so soon after we got them.

I plan to practice some amount of visible mending on a well used, well loved T-shirt of Christine's. I was surprised to realize the clothing practice of visible mending is the same aesthetic principle of kintsugi.
