A Tangled Ball of Yarn

This morning I was knitting and one of the skeins of yarn I'm using is unraveling terribly. It's constantly getting into knots and of course the yarn is made up entirely of dark colors, making it difficult and time consuming to untangle. I said to myself, "This yarn is literally THE most annoying thing in my life right now."

But guess what? I'll give you a hint - it's not the most annoying thing in my life right now. Not even close. But what if it was? How cool would that be? Imagine if I just changed my outlook a little bit, an unruly skein of yarn really could be THE most annoying thing in my life.

So let's all take a step back and really look at everything that's going on around us. With a slight attitude adjustment, whatever your equivalent of an unruly skein of yarn is could really be the biggest problem you have. And if that's the case, that's an awesome problem to have!

Snow

I'm off until Sunday, having already worked three days in a row earlier this week.

I can't remember the last time I was able to just sit and watch the snow fall with nothing to worry about.

Here in Baltimore, the snow is collecting but it isn't nearly what my friends and family back in New Jersey and New York are expecting. I'm already seeing pictures of my friends and makeshift sleeping arrangements in their respective hospitals tonight.

To anyone out there who isn't able to make it home, thank you for doing what you do.
