Thought for a Summer Day....

While on my early morning run I found myself wondering how I can organize my crazy-paced life to allow for increased creativity? After all, it is what brings balance back into my life. How is it that I seem to let life take such tight hold on my schedule that I sometimes lose my grip on that which brings me back to center? On this note, I am going to make a public commitment here: Today I WILL pick out a bead project, get my materials set out where I can see them....and begin. Even if it's only 30 minutes that I have to spare a day, I'm going to commit to doing this--for myself. Just for today this will be my commitment to myself to keep the balance, stay in the creative flow, and enjoy my bead projects as a process--not as an end product. So, how do YOU integrate creativity into YOUR life? Comments please? Let's get this dialog going!
