On a perfect day at home, each of us has time to express the artist within. On this day, Alex sewed a pillow, Kayla played a lovely tune on the harp, and I harvested herbs from the garden and hung them to dry. Each of us found a different way to express our creativity.
I sometimes wonder about those people who tell me that they aren’t creative. Are they really unable to create anything, or is it that they don’t appreciate what they create?
Isn’t creativity expressed when you assemble an outfit, or a meal, or an efficient solution to a problem? Aren’t you creative when you write an email, rearrange a room, or build an organization.
Any time that you rearrange elements to form something that didn’t exist before, you are being creative.
So, how are you expressing your creativity?

Well, I write, bake, take photos, plan trips, see the beauty in laundry hanging on a line–but I wish I would make more time for such pursuits as sewing, embroidery, and drawing–things I already know how to do but which get put on the “do it later” list all too often!
