a lesson from pie.
over the holidays,
i made 8 different kinds of pie.
samosa pie, blueberry cheesecake, pumpkin cheesecake, chocolate pudding pie…
mostly because the beginning is so exciting
and the result is so satisfying
and not because i liked
gathering ingredients
and mixing
and waiting.
because trying to decide which pies to make
by looking at mouth-watering photographs
is always so fun,
and then eating the ones you do make
so delicious.
but that reminded me that,
sometimes,
we are so caught up on the
end result
that we forget to enjoy
the Journey.
