I am reading a book written by Dr. Brene Brown called The Gifts of Imperfection. It is an amazing and challenging work, one which I will read and reread many times. In one of the last chapters, she covers the concept of creativity, and how important it is to our well-being.
You'd have to read the book to get the full effect, and I strongly recommend that you do, but the main point as it pertains to this blog entry is this: everyone is creative, so make time to be!
Today, I sat down with three of my kids and a new set of watercolors. We painted whatever we wanted to, without worrying about winning any contests or fulfilling any obligations. It was thoroughly enjoyable, and I plan to do it regularly.
So today, I am thankful for watercolors! :)
