People have excuses why they cannot do things. I have people tell me all the time, how do you get so much done? I would like to sew, quilt etc. I figure people spend their time doing what they want to do. I still work full time and get things done. (I dont think I will ever get the volume of work completed by some of you, maybe when I get to retire)
I really don't believe it is a one thing or the other but instead what you choose to do.
You do beautiful work and contribute to a good cause, take pride in that don't worry about what others say or do. A wise friend of mine once told me, "pick your battles" if you can't change it or it isn't worth the battle don't worry with it.
