Creativity
Creativity involves generating new ideas, solutions, or original and valuable approaches.

One of those things for me was spending time in different natural settings, such as mountains, forests, beaches, or deserts. My daughter and husband sharing a walk on the beach. She’s currently writing ” Walking with Dad”
Nature can inspire creativity and provide a fresh outlook.
Another thought is to Engage in activities you’ve never tried, such as
pottery, woodworking, photography, dance or tubing. Ziplining – a gift from my daughter for my 75th birthday.
My favorite is to
Visit places that are not typical tourist destinations. Experiencing unique environments can spark new ideas. I love going to the pancake breakfasts or spaghetti dinners of other communities. I learned who the NFPs are and how they are fundraising for their love.

I fell off the wagon
I fell off the wagon. What happened? A combination of things happened, the first day I forgot, got too busy the next, was interrupted by more important work and on and on. Yes, I know that one day at a time works. It is part of the 12 step programs but this is a...
