Other than nature, everything within sight originated with a creative thought. Let that sink in a minute. I love creativity. If I’m not writing, I’m sewing, or cooking. Sometimes I even weed my flowerbeds to create the look I want instead of having the look the weeds treat me to. I enjoy how some of these days fall right where I need them to so I can share something I have been thinking about. Hence the following:
Are you happy to sit in the quiet with your own thoughts
Can you sit calmly for hours in a hospital with a friend in an induced coma
Can you go more than a day without talking to another human
Can you give yourself permission to wonder where the birds sleep at night
Can you whip up a dinner for twelve, including dessert
Can you do research for a project for days to make it come to fruition
Can you laugh at yourself when you know you’ve made a blunder
And can you say you’re sorry when you should
Can you spend hours making a quilt then give it away
Can you write the conversation of a make-believe family and have it sound natural
Can you make up 99 word stories from a written prompt
Can you keep a historical record of your family in photographs
Can you admit little frightened you when you were young and now lots of things do
I can
My thoughts take me on creative courses; writing, sewing, photo taking, sharing knowledge and teaching others. It’s a journey, fulfilling to share with others, but enriched by a lot of quiet time.

If you substitute quilt for cake, I can do most of these things too, Susan. I am not sure if I can speak to no-one for a whole day. I have never had that luxury to date.

I think I’m doing fine at home by myself busy writing and sewing, but when I get with the girls I tend to take over the conversation. They know enough to ask how long it’s been since I’ve been out and I get the hint to let someone else talk. Smile.
