One cannot help but have a smile in his or her face especially when they think of such tiny gadgets. They were a sign of readiness and stepping back to ensure that the other aspects in the life were well taken care of to make the big tasks easier to tackle. They were passed on; from generation to generation, from one pair of hands to another or borrowed from a friend in need of a warmer pair to protect his hands from the cold.
It’s comforting to have a charcoal hand warmer that is constantly emitting warmth and which you can be sure will last as long as you need it to in the middle of the winter. It’s a memory of strength, of creativity, and of people’s ability to maintain comfort even in the face of such discomfort.
