Where do you find yourself rushing through your days, or adding a level of urgency to areas of life that are clearly unimportant?

Years ago, my wife belonged to a needle craft club where she created various works of art a stitch at a time.
Sometimes a two-hour session would result in only a few square inches of her evolving masterpiece. Years later, these pieces have become increasingly meaningful because of how her meticulous efforts led to a one-and-only creation.
