My oldest sister’s husband is ill.
She’s had a time of it. Early on she
said, “How do you eat an elephant?”
She answered herself. “One bite at a time.”
She said it at least three times in every conversation.
I’d never heard that saying before.
But it stuck with me. How do you start,
restart, do, redo, begin, re-begin- one small
bit at a time. Of course my favorite way to
do things is in 20 minute increments. So, here’s
to tiny starts, tiny plates and tiny glass jelly jars.
