The orchid Jim gave me for my birthday is in the upstairs hall window. I love to pause and look at it as I run up and down stairs with laundry, a diaper, or a stack of picture books. It is so peaceful - the flowers just seem to float.
Ahhh, for the first time in years I have time to sew, knit, play with clay, paint or do some other creative endeavor most days. I am thriving with so much freedom to be creative. I just read a great book called "The Creative Family". The author argues that being creative is a need that as persons we need to prioritize in our day. She also states that "creativity is born in gratitude". There are your good thoughts for the day!
