I definitely know what you mean. I am making a scrappy(controlled) log-cabin and did not have enough logs cut, so I had to stop and am still in the process of cutting more logs. Kinda puts the skids on my piecing roll. This too shall pass, right?
And yes, we should all be grateful for the bounties that we have...I'm just feeling particularly whiney tonight...feel like I'm coming down with the flu..that achey feeling. Just saw a story on the internet about the victims of H. Sandy that still don't have their lives back in order. It's winter and they are trying to live in houses that even if they have heat, the heat goes out all of the cracks in the walls. I feel so sorry for them.
