November 17

I've been working on this giant Christmas blanket for some time now.

Since I'm a nut, it's a whopping 62 inches wide and only 27 inches long so far, so I've still got a ways to go before it'll be done. But Brady likes to goad me about it, so I spent some time adding rows this evening.

Life is like that, I think: sometimes we have quick projects (like hats -- I made one of those this morning, in fact) that we can finish expediently. But other endeavors take substantially longer to reach completion -- we make gradual progress as we plug away at them. 

And hopefully, we enjoy the process, because this life is so much about process and learning to savor the ride.
