It’s Sunday today. This day has been great. We went into town to this awesome playground where the kids ran around for a couple of hours, using up some energy. Then we went to church, now we’re home again. Winding down after an intense day.
I talked with a friend about my need to create. I made the argument that every person has a need to create, in different ways of course, but it is put into us as a fundamental need. Not every one realizes this. Some people may never understand why they are unhappy or depressed even, but it might actually be the lack of creativity in their lives. I know I get insufferable when I don’t get to create. Most of all, I need to paint. Oils preferably. And it has been years. So many years since I last did it. I don’t even remember when I did it last. But I know that I need to do it again. Soon. Oh sorry, I’m so focused on myself right now that I wrote ”I” like a million times now… Sometimes that is necessary though, to focus on yourself. When I get to paint, I become a much better wife and mom. And person. Think about that for a minute. What do you need to do to be happy?
