C is for Creativity

C is for Creativity. Creativity comes in many forms such as music, art, writing, crafting and so on. I love to watch children use their imagination and create worlds out of nothing or little things like empty boxes or Legos or building blocks.

I remember my son when he was little would make buildings out of his mega blocks or his wooden blocks and then have his toys knock them down or drive through the gates to another world. I used to love his drawings and he would tell me what it was and as he got older he would draw inventions or new ideas.

My brother was a wonderful artist and I used to be so jealous of him because he could create these beautiful things on paper while I was doing good to draw a stick figure.

I have friends who write beautifully and when I read their stories the characters come to life and it’s as if they are there in front of me. I think that’s why I love reading so much. The authors create a character you can either love or hate but you can see them in your mind and it’s like watching a movie in your head.

I also have friends and family who can sing so beautifully and are so talented. I am so proud of them and what they have accomplished. When I hear a song on the radio I am happy to say, “My cousin wrote that song.”

One of my friends is multi-talented; she can create beautiful jewelry, write wonderful stories and somehow manage to wrangle up her three boys like it was nothing. That takes a lot of creativity and will power. I call her super woman.

My links to creativity are not so artistic so I am trying to express myself one way or the other. I love to write even if my grammar is atrocious and run-on sentences and fragments have a hay day with my works and I have to go back and fix them.

I am still learning to decorate cakes and there are days when I love to bake and want to create some new recipe. I love to sing but you better have ear plugs handy, so I reserve my singing for the car or the shower.

All in all I think we need these crazy unnormal people in our lives because without creativity where would we be? Just a bunch of useless drones content from day to day to walk and not see the beauty that surrounds and recognize it.
