week 47 ⁣ Pattern from @formedfibers! ⁣ This is one of my favorite pieces I’ve done this year. I love that because I was out of black thread, I ended up with this cool, monochromatic look instead. There’s a metaphor in there, I’m sure. Something about embracing what we have (even if it’s not what we wanted). ⁣ I still haven’t finished a book all month (leaving me feeling slightly off kilter) but I did read this week. And talk to friends. And watch The West Wing. And I held an event with my students and others that we never would have tried if we had had another option. ⁣ This is a season of gratitude, and while on the surface it is easy for me to say “grateful for what?!” I know that it’s out there, if we look for it. If we stop wishing for what we thought this year would bring. ⁣ What are you grateful for this week? via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CH2u2VBALgi/
