Today, I am having a difficult time finding my creativity. This past year has not been easy for my husband and I, but we have muddled through it. Most days I try to keep a good attitude, but today, was a hard one for me. I don't want to divulge the details because so many people out there have things a lot worse than we do. My troubles are small in comparison to so many tragedies around the world.
So today, let's discuss inspiration. A former co-worker of mine is truly one of the most inspirational people that I know. Yesterday, I got a wonderful card from her in the mail. She has a heart of gold and has always gone out of her way to give a little. Most times it's just a note with a wonderful quote and a thank you for being who you are. Sometimes it comes with a few pieces of chocolate. Positive words and chocolate, how could that not bring a smile to your face.
Today, I am not posting a project, but an idea. Pass along some love and inspiration to someone that you know. Creativity isn't always about what you make, it is about how you show the people around you that they are important to you. When I was having a rough time today, I looked at that card and I smiled. There is a box that I keep with things like this. I call it my happy box. It has notes, thank you cards, memories and anything that will lift me up when I'm down. For now, the card from yesterday is sitting on my counter, where I need it most. Let me share a bit of what it said.
The back of the card reads as follows: Celebrate the misfortunes in your life they truly may be precious miracles.
It was followed by this quote: Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom - Marcel Proust
