I am crocheting a special afghan that will be given to my grandson who is graduating from high school in May. It is something I do for all of my grandchildren as a present for when they turn 18. However, this year I got behind and failed to get it made in time for his birthday. I felt bad and started to make excuses. I had plenty: hip surgery, stomach problems, helping with weddings, The Girls Get Together, etc.
