Thank you so, so, so, SO much for sharing this, zoo! I knit too, and it is very grounding and soothing for me. And when I am in T's office, I hold a little animal from his desk in my hand. But somehow I never made the connection that keeping my hands busy soothes and grounds me...and it totally does. I am going to do what you do..get some things for my car, etc. to have to help keep myself grounded.
Thanks. That helped me
