Time well spent

I'm crocheting a scarf. It's nice to see something you've made with your own hands. It's been very painful though. My shoulder, elbow, and fingers are killing me. I take a lot of breaks, but I can't wait to see the end result. Another added benefit is it forces me to sit still. I feel like I have to keep moving and I exhaust myself rather quickly. Now I have something to do while I sit. Can't seem to get around the pain. Still, it's time well spent.
