Episode 49: Always Forward, Never Straight

Sometimes just keeping that forward momentum is all that's needed to reach a goal. The path doesn't always have to be straight or never veered from, just keep moving. In the words of one of my favorite characters in Finding Nemo, Dory sang, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming" as she continued on for Wallaby Way.

I've been working to keep the momentum going, too, when it comes to completing projects. After recording the last episode I went back over some yarn I'd pulled from my stash and a pattern that was recently gifted to me. Having patterns and yarn set aside together and ready to go helps me not to procrastinate. I just need to get better at pulling the tools I'll need at the same time.
