I was going to figure life out today but I did laundry instead.
I was searching for the perfect career but found the perfect sewing machine.
Today was not a waste but my goals were not met. I guess certain things take time. How much time though? Is it a goal problem or a reaching problem?
Meanwhile, I will sew.

Maybe sewing IS a goal. Maybe the perfect sewing machine will make the perfect career.
You worked towards your goal. You thought about life. You were productive.
Job well done.
The difficult thing is, what does planning a life look like? What activities do they entail? One can look at books and take personality tests, and they may be helpful, but they can't tell you what career one should do. Eventually that decision has to be made, and there will never be enough external information to make that decision easy. So sewing isn't any more or less a part of the process. Career choice isn't a math problem, unfortunately. This + this + this = the perfect career. I wish it was. A great idea could come at any moment, like while sewing, or maybe not. Maybe, its like writing. I can't think of anything to write until I put SOMETHING on paper, and then ideas flow easier. Maybe going in an exciting direction is the best thing to do even when it turns out to be the wrong direction. You would have never known except by trying it out. All the ideas have so many disadvantages, so many pitfalls. But so does not having an idea at all to go on, so the tension continues and builds...
i was thinking that sounded like a dr suess book.
I got your postcard! Yeah!! Tusen Takk. We should skype sometime soon!
Well, I was going to say that I thought it sounded like a poem..but Sonya basically stole that comment. I could probably say a lot on this topic, but you've already heard it. Instead, know that I empathize.
A sewing machine!!!
Here's my goal: To sew with the amazing Ms. Fisher, sometime soon.
Maybe the path to life's answers is lined with clean, handmade clothes.
