As 2019 came to a close I reflected, as many of us do- on what I accomplished during the year. The things said and done- and the things left unsaid, undone as well. More than once this year it has occurred to me that most of what I do is done stitch by stitch. Time measured in stitches. No two stitches are done at the very same moment in time, they happen moment after fleeting moment. Sometimes quickly if I am using a machine, sometimes slowly if I am doing hand work- but it is done in the passing of these measured moments. My friends, my hope for you in the year 2020 is that with every stitch, every mile, every word or however you measure your moments here on earth- they are measured with a smile in your heart and at the end of 2020 you will again be saying: Happy New Year!
