Making stop-gap will definitely keep you busy/happy (responding to two posts with one stone). A student made a stop-gap/claymation video for a Hamlet project. Jaw-droppingly beautiful. It comes in under a minute, but she said it took about 12 hours to make. She has work on YouTube, too. I’ll ask for a link. So, if you can combine busy-ness and happiness, maybe you can combine baking and stop-gap, or needlework and stop-gap, or, here’s an idea: writing and stop-gap.

PS — Check out the stop-gap work to Billy Collins’ poetry that’s on YouTube.
PPS — Parenting has “made” you happy (enabled your happiness?). I’ve watched it happen.
