Coffee (or water) and phone caddy

One summer while my husband was deployed I fully dislocated my ankle. Twelve stitches later (the kind in skin, not the ones we like) I was in a cast for 6 weeks and could not bear any weight on my ankle. I was nervous about falling while being in the house by myself and wanted to keep my phone with me wherever I went. The stairs were also challenging: getting myself, my phone and beverages up and down the stairs. So one evening I decided that was it, I was sitting down and making myself a coffee and phone holder. I was so pleased with the final product and at my problem solving skills that I used that creative example of how I was going to get through this every time I got frustrated or sad. I am walking on two feet again now. I still use my coffee caddy for traveling or shopping. It always makes me smile at how even when life gets really difficult, I can make something beautiful and useful out of that experience.
