This is a different case. One that I started back in November 2012. In Italian they say; "Chi va piano, va sano e va lontano." Something like slowly but surely. Which in my case is not something I particularly enjoy. I usually like to do things and see the results. Hence the name, a "labor of patience." Crocheting squares when I can't do anything else, like in an airplane, or a train, or waiting at the hospital, etc...
A project that will take me, who knows how long to finish, and the surprising bit, is that I really don't care. I'm enjoying each square, for the moment (since there are only four of course) I remember exactly why each one was made. One day it will be a beautiful quilt/wrap!
Each square has the date and place embroidered. To keep track, a sort of crochet journal of my times waiting, or waiting times.
I've decided I will not worry about the other quilt that I'm making. I know I will finish it, I just don't know when exactly. And keeping Ben's words in my mind!
"He that can have patience, can have what he will." -- Benjamin Franklin
Wishing you a great week ahead.

DeletePatience is one of my main struggles as well... But in a country like mine, you better learn how to be patient, because everything goes slow here :)
ReplyDeleteI really like these squares with date & place! It will (some day) make a wonderful wrap!
haha, you can go to Colombia to practice patience there as well. I think that happens almost everywhere (some worse than others of course)!!

DeleteGreat read! The concept of patience really resonates with me, especially when it comes to significant life decisions like finding the right home. After all the research and waiting, finding Ready to Move Flats in Noida has been the perfect reward for my patience. Not only does it save time and energy compared to under-construction properties, but it also provides peace of mind, knowing exactly what you’re getting. Thanks for reminding us that patience is truly a virtue!
