A Deep Thought

I can't claim any sort of credit for the following deep thought. It was in the back of my new crochet book, but I liked it, so I'll share it here.

Life and Crochet

Life is an intricate pattern, a myriad of stitches, woven one day at a time. We anxiously begin our design with a chain of good intentions, dreaming of the product yet to evolve. In the beginning we are full of tension, creating needless wasted energy. As we learn to relax, we feel a surprising tranquility needed to acquire the joy for the journey.

Life is wonderful until we hit a snag or a knot along the way. We struggle and fight. Then we realize we must slowly work through problems and sometimes start over. We want to quit, but we pick ourselves up and continue, realizing that mistakes teach us patience, and patience brings about worthwhile satisfaction. Sometimes we forget or refuse to ask for help, and we find ourselves decreasing, when we should be increasing our abilities.

Yes, life is an intricate and sometimes difficult pattern with roadblocks along the way. But we must have faith and belief that when worked with determination and confidence, the end result will be heavenly!

I really couldn't have said it better myself.
