Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
Trying to push myself to do more creative writing on this blog. I've been struggling and did not come with anything. So I rummaged around in my files for things that had started but hadn't turned into a finish product yet. I'm not sure where the idea for this originated, but I really like it.... Continue Reading →
Creativity and Health With each passing year, it is clearer to me how important my physical health, mental health, and creativity are linked. If any of those three are not cared for, the other two will suffer. That makes this the worst time of year for me. There are tons of holiday related food still... Continue Reading →
(Sometimes, creativity is just for the fun of it. I had fun doing this. Hope you enjoy it too.) Oh, the things you dream of becoming “when you grow up”. I’m old enough/young enough (Jones Generation!) to be a “space kid”. The space program was in full swing right around the time I was old... Continue Reading →

“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” - Ursula K. Le Guin The weather is warming! It’s one of my favorite things about living in Central Virginia. The “warm” seasons last a long time here. The week that I’m writing this has both... Continue Reading →
We interrupt the rather sketchy "normal schedule" of things to offer a few thanks.I learned to savor the good things in life 11 years ago, when I had my stroke. I would love to say that I live that lesson out every day of the year, every one of the 525,600 minutes that "Rent" reminds... Continue Reading →
Starting today, the next seven days are my least favorite of the year.What's so bad about seven days in late October? In and of themselves, nothing. This year they are a Wednesday through a Tuesday.But they are days of pain and mourning for me.Today, October 20, is the 21st anniversary of my father's death.Friday, October... Continue Reading →
For those who have followed this blog over the years, you know that every so often I get bored with the look here. I begin to fiddle around and eventually land on something. I imagine that if you happen to drop by on the day(s) I'm playing around the effect could be bizarre. Images appear... Continue Reading →
