I love honing, it is solitary, relaxing and enjoyable.
I get to zone out and rub away the distractions of the day/week. It is mindless and requires nothing of me but to hold a steady hand and check my progress from time to time...
I can freely run through my thoughts and ideas as I "piddle".
While I am enjoying my "me time" I am left to my own devices. When I am finished there are chores to do and people to please.
This is why I enjoy honing...
