New Hat

Whipped up this hat with Noro yarn I got while on retreat in April.  Thought I'd wear it while out running today but was too darned cold with the wind I figured it'd blast right through it so I wore another fleece had with a knitted headband over, which worked nicely.  I also had a knitted cowl but still, the face was cold and could only stand being out there for 3 miles instead of my usual 5.  While I beat myself up over the 2 missed miles, I thought to my mindful self, "mindful self, at least you got out there and made an attempt, and a quite good one at that considering how cold it was, so STOP looking at the negative!"  Ok, ok, I got it.
Be thankful for what you DO have not what you don't.  A good lesson.
