Digging with a spoon?

---

Abbe Faria: With two of us digging, we can cover twice the ground. It'll only take us, oh... 8 years to reach the outer wall.
[Edmond laughs]
Abbe Faria: Ohh... and does something else demand your time? Some pressing appointment, perhaps?

Nothing I want in life comes overnight.  I want  to be a good wife, a good mother, a good cook, a good writer/musician/artist, and I want to be debt free.  None of that comes instantly.  I am building skills slowly, over time.  I will be all of those things, if I'm willing to measure my life in years--years built of smaller moments.
