What's in your...toolbox?

Go into any good auto shop, and you'll see one. Go into any good artist studio, and you'll see one there, too. A toolbox, assembled from years of practice, trial and error, experimentation. Be it a wrench or a brush, a good craftsman knows what tools he need for the right job at the right time. Collected over the years in that red bin or wooden box, the tools tell the story of that person, and their craft.

We all need a toolbox to navigate through life. It doesn't have to be in a red bin, but it has to be ready for use at any time. Thinking about mine (in no particular order)...

• Books--to put my mind somewhere else, to learn, to grow, to explore.
• iPod--music therapy is good for the soul
• Friends--we all need shoulders to lean on
• Car--for long-distance decompression
• My legs--for short-distance decompression
• This blog--to think, paint pictures and learn
• My Mac--to reach out to the world

I know there's something else, but it's early...
