A time to be creative is during the days (weekends) when (even) those who care so deeply, feel a sense of helplessness and of being overwhelmed with events happening in our lives and the world, where there is so much work to be done to make things better.
This weekend, take a short break. Be creative and do something fulfilling and relaxing. Monday is Veterans day, an excellent day to spend, being with and, remembering those who have given so much for us and our country.
Be appreciative and thankful and embrace your life! Spend some time being creative. Let your talent take you to a place that makes you feel better about you! Sometimes, when you feel overwhelmed this is a very good thing to do!

Great advice Penny…and I will take creativity, whenever it hits me! 🙂 Happy weekend!
Yes, then there are days when our creative simply simmers under the weight of the world and tapping it is beyond our scope. I am having a run on those days.

Great article my friend. 🙂
Hi Nancy. Thanks, I am spending more time with my art – and enjoying that creative time very much! I hope you are also taking some time for you too, dear friend! 🙂 xo
PH; great advice…
I used to paint and/or draw a couple of years, but more during the summer, when I was off anything…. Right now I just blog and sometimes write short stories and so on, (I don´t publish them but exceptionally)…
Being creative makes you feel glad and sure about you, that´s true… Besides, it is a random way to find inner deep things about yourself.
Thanks Penny, much love and happy weekend; Aquileana 😉
Thank you, Aquileana, I think you should write more, also explore more artistic endeavors, they are a good thing that helps us explore ourselves, you are correct in that.
Have a good week ahead, my dear friend,
Penny
