Think about three or four things you’ve done during the past week. They could be really small things, like brushing your teeth, or enormous things, like robbing a bank, or in-between things, like cooking breakfast or grooming a parrot. Choose one that, in hindsight, seems relatively pleasant. Now let yourself vividly and carefully remember how you felt as you undertook this activity. Were you buoyed up, delighted, as you anticipated doing it? Once you got started, did you genuinely enjoy it? When you finished, were you pleased by the whole process? Make a note:
Knitting the shawl...loved the anticipation and the easy intricacy of seeing the shape emerge as it slowly emerged.
