My first draft of this blog started with the sentence, “Comparison is the thief of joy, or so it has been explained to me.” I’m surprised how often I have had to remind myself of that over the last month. I could list all of my excuses here about why I haven’t done nearly as much with Finnick the Fierce as I’ve wanted to but we all know them. We use them in our daily lives to justify why we haven’t accomplished our goals. Yet it has been the struggle of my life to try and convince myself that these are valid reasons.
