Today is a day that I am really thankful that I am a quilter. It was a long, frustrating day and I am very tired. When I have days like today, I am so grateful to be able to come home and work on some quilting, even if it's only for a little while. It helps me relax and really takes my mind off the problems of the day. It is truly a gift.
Sometimes I wonder what people who don't have hobbies or interests outside of work do when their day has gone badly. To me, it's like putting all of your eggs in one basket. Then you have to really watch to keep the basket from tipping or breaking! If the day has not gone well, then what have you got to make you feel better? When I come home and work on a quilt, I can see something tangible that tells me I am doing a good job on something. That is so rewarding.
I hope that your quilting reinforces and rewards you for the effort you put into it. Keep quilting in peace and happiness.
