Its all too easy sometimes to fall prey to propaganda, especially when its in our faces 24/7 as it seems to be here in Aus. Thanks for those words, little reminders really of how i do conduct my life. Will be popping back to see your next creation. Loving that owl...might try to create one for my daughter.

An article I read a couple of years ago, that described creativity as a little piece of our Creator. Look around you. The world is filled with the works of God, and any creativity we have is because he has gifted us. Creativity is a wonderful thing, and I don't believe the person who claims they're not creative. Everyone has a creative side waiting to be explored. Just this year, I added to my writing and photography a new creative venture: polymer clay beading. I am thoroughly loving the process, and finding new ways to sculpt and finish the beads to make them unique. Will be opening a new Etsy shop soon. Creativity has no bounds. Maybe that's why I loved this post. Thank you. Know what I thought of when I read this beautiful post?

Life has so much more to offer than worry. Being creative opens up so many avenues for me. As always Firefly I think you nailed it! Thank you! Hey, has sweet pea arrived? I hope everything goes smoothly for your daughter and baby. Ann I agree! Life has so much more to offer than worry. Being creative opens up so many avenues for me.

You add a little sunshine in our day. The mulberry tree is too cool. My favorite though, as always, is the picture of Blu. He is so handsome!!

It's a good thing. How about the baby grandchild? Surely she's arrived by now? Hope all is well! Hello firefly,
I am also always seeing faces in trees (and other things too!). It’s a good thing.

How about the baby grandchild? Surely she’s arrived by now? Hope all is well!

I read the news online - when I remember and even then, I open that page with one eye closed and the other squinty :) ! I am not completely "head in the sand" but the media, and us when we buy into it, lose perspective. 7 or 8 % umemployeed means 92 or 93% ARE employed! We can choose how we look at things - as you say, use our imagination as well as our intellect to chose our perspective and to be creative. Even in times of my life when circumstances seemed very difficult, if I quieted myself I could fine much good and typically more [good] as things resolved. I am headed to Etsy to see if that owl is still there - beautiful! I haven’t had tv reception – I have tvs/dvd – in my home for 6 years.

Appreciating and taking time to relish doing them is what most of us ignore. I loved reading this post. P.S. Been reading your posts for over a year now.

To imagine was a happy part of my life for many years. I wrote short stories and some poetry. But as I got older, when I studied the the people and events around me, a pessimistic attitude took over my life. I feel that the plan for society today is to frighten everyone into accepting it's way of life. I am fighting to regain my ability to imagine and therefore to create from my own mind. Reading you, Firefly, is proving that my fight is the correct course to pursue. Thank You! I see the eyes quite clearly but not the ears. To imagine was a happy part of my life for many years.
