 That is indeed something to be thankful for. :)  Maybe a time like that
 will come for me, someday.  It could happen.

 Not working is depressing.  Depression keeps you from working.  Not
 working makes you more depressed, which makes you too sick to work.  It
 is a nasty spiral, and hard to break.  It can happen.

 My husband was not happy with me buying supplies and not having
 anything finished to show for all that money.  That pushed me to do
 more, but that is no way to do crafting.  You do it because it comes
 from inside you, not just because someone outside you wants you to.
