Find your passion and then live it.
I heard this during an NPR broadcast the other day. It was actually about soccer and passionate soccer fans in Argentina. But really the idea is universal. I have been knitting for almost 25 years but have recently gotten much more obsessed with it than ever. You could say this is because my kids are getting older and so I have more time. You could say this is because I have met and become friends with other knitters (fabulous people!) and so became more exposed to the wider world of knitting.
But I would say it’s because I’ve found my passion. All these years I saw knitting as something I enjoy doing when I have a bit of ME time. But now knitting, spinning, yarn, and wool have become a necessity, a need, a compulsion, an obsession. But I don’t see these as negative words. Just the opposite. By acknowledging knitting as my passion I have freed myself to indulge in my yarn as much as I want. Of course, it helps that my kids are older and I do have more ME time. But how wonderful that I know so very clearly what I want to do with my ME time.
I have found my passion and I’m living it!
