Enthusiasm

What things give you energy?

Any amount of enthusiasm will get me up and moving.

Wanting, Desire. A need will drive me.

One time I read a book about how to spin wool into yarn. The book had beautiful pictures and well written instruction. The yarn spinning was just one chapter. It also showed weaving and dying and other fiber arts. I checked this same book out from the library over and over. The night I read about how to spin it was late. Everyone was long asleep except the baby. The instructions told me to buy a drop spindle and where I might find one. It said to get some wool and what kind was best for a beginner.

Then it said if you had to try it immediately, to get a pencil, a potato and some cotton from the top of a vitamin bottle.

I may have been exhausted from a full day with little kids and being up with a baby, but I was up and searching in the dark for cotton and a potato.

By morning I had taught myself to spin. Not one bit tired, I NEEDED to find and acquire a drop spindle and some yarn.

I had energy to do the busy life and make yarn.
