Nine Knots? Bless your heart.

I came across a reel about a lovely Summer Solstice tradition where you tie nine knots in a ribbon on the longest day of the year. Then, whenever life gets difficult during the year, you untie one knot and release some of that stored sunlight and strength. ☀️🪢

My first thought was:

“Nine knots? For the whole year?!”

As someone with an alphabet soup collection of chronic syndromes, I would need less of a ribbon and more of an industrial macramé installation. 😂💜
