So, today is counted as a success. Although I did not get an hour of 'quiet' knitting time in, I did watch a movie with my dear daughter and finished her hoodie vest, yes completely, while we watched! It felt really good to have it done. I wish that it was a little longer on her though, so there's that.
Why is it that each and every time I accomplish something in my life, whether it be a knit project, a Master's degree, a successful Christmas dinner, I don't ever feel really happy? I always find something wrong with it. This is what I'm learning about myself. I must find a way to enjoy life more. To really 'feel' the happiness of time together or a job well done. My family all classified me as "Eyeore" in a game this week! When did I become so gloomy? I guess this goes on the list of things to work on in 2010!
So, day 2, a success and I will be happy that another WIP is now a desired garment to be cherished. Baby steps. Tomorrow I must begin hemming the dress for Lily! I will find joy in that accomplishment too, especially seeing it on her!
I am a work in progress. Hopefully we all are! I am a wife, mother of two, educator, musician. Knitting and music are my passions. . I've challenged myself to find time to knit ever day and embarked on a health and fitness journey with some new friends from around the country. We'll be here to inspire and motivate one another through that process. Look out world, here come finished projects (finally), profound changes and hopefully, long sought after answers!
