So Far....So Good
As a lifelong procrastinator I have enjoyed little success with keeping New Year's Resolutions. Try as I may, by the middle of January I am already feeling the sting of disappointment as another promise "withers and dies." I am an optimist at heart and despite my grim failures I journey on. I have hope. On December 31, 2018 I resolved to read more books; two per month to be exact. I am happy to report, SO FAR! SO GOOD! Earlier this month I read
Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine,
by Gail Honeyman
and yesterday I finished
The Woman In The Window,
by A.J. Finn
I loved them both. Feeling a bit self righteous today I settled down with my February selection and began to read. A page or two in I remember the unfinished knitted booties I had started and left undone. The supposedly "quick gift" I was making for a friend who is expecting her first baby. I began knitting them over 7 months ago and she is due to deliver any day now. Oh well, book down and needles up.
Maybe I don't have a procrastination problem after all. Maybe I have a time management problem, either way...
something's got to give.
PEACE AND LOVE
What you need is to master knitting and reading at the same time! I do this a lot. Either reading ebooks or using a book chair (a stand that looks like a mini deckchair) for real books.
