Haiku-A-Day December Challenge #23: Crochet to Calm

For the last three years, I've intentionally spent time writing and sharing a Haiku-A-Day for the month of December. The first two years I exchanged a daily Haiku privately with willing friends, mostly through text and email. Last year I wrote and shared each Haiku on my blog. Throughout this process, I've discovered that the practice of noticing and reflecting through writing a Haiku grounds me, provides with with a certain kind of peace, assists me with better practicing gratitude, and helps me better navigate this "hurry up" world. This year my goal is the same as last year: to pen and publish a daily Haiku on my blog throughout December. 

Haiku-A-Day December Challenge #23: 
Crochet to Calm

I've been doing a lot of crocheting lately. Recently, I discovered that I like to put my hands to work. How could have something that was first so challenging become soothing? Crocheting helps me wind down. I'm grateful I have kept up with this.
