Better than the six o’clock news - 1st post at a new blog…

People always tell me they’re not creative. I don’t believe them. I think they simply have very limited ideas of what creativity is. It takes a good deal of creativity to raise children for instance. How does a person work eight hours, drive one, get the kids off to and home from their day, cook dinner, shop, cook, clean, participate (in church or the boy scouts or softball or art classes - whatever) - day after day after day - without at least being creative enough to keep coming up with the ambition to get out of bed again the next morning?  I bet you’re much more creative than you give yourself credit for. This blog is my next step in a personal pursuit of creative expression.  Of course I hope you’ll visit often. We’re all a bit creative. But we can and should strive to be more so. We just might make the world a better, more peaceful place. You have to admit, artists seem to be good-hearted people. For the most part, we are. Appreciating the beauty of life, even or especially the often overlooked tidbits, not only puts a smile on your face, it warms your heart. Beats the heck out of the six o’clock news, imho. Peace.
