600 now

Last night, I reached the 600 mark. I've folded 600 paper cranes, in 60 days!

This morning I taught meditation at the local UU church.

And my sinuses are at rest, for the first time in a long time.

Feeling peaceful.

The 300 mark

I've made 300 paper cranes now. That first 300-sheet pack of origami paper is gone. A large plastic shopping bag is full of the fruits of my labor. I'm nearly one-third of the way to my goal.

And today I lost my temper over some silly, small thing. Yelled not at my child, but in her presence. She got silent, as she always does. I felt guilty and sick at heart.

Makes me wonder why I'm even doing this.

Faster than I thought

I must amend the last post.

Last night, I made 10 paper cranes in 35 minutes. So I'm a bit faster than I thought I was. At this rate, I'll complete my act of senbazuru in a mere 58.3 hours. Well, actually, it has taken me about a week to get up to this blazing-fast speed of 3.5 minutes per crane. Those first few days were a lot slower going. So --- let's round 'er off and say 60 hours, total.

Not bad!
