Leave Well Enough Alone

Leave well enough alone? Yes, yes! It’s over 15 years now that I have done just that with my most reliable and consistent companion. He (feels masculine to me) never lets me down. Never asks for anything. Strong. Quiet. Firm. Safe. Kind too, or is that taking things too far? We are together every day, holidays and weekends too. Never needed another. Introducing to you...My very own leather belt.

I have been wanting to share this reassuring and deeply familiar part of my life for ages. Each morning as I switch over to a clean pair of boring Carhartts, I thread my wavy, worn, soft, leather strap through the belt loops. So incredibly comforting to have this longtime talisman of ‘well enough’ there for me, holding my waist, my midriff, my core, gently and firmly at the same time.

Have you got an old faithful to share?
