How are you Creative?, so asks the Daily Writing prompt.

I’m creative through my art interests like photography, drawing, carving/etching, and writing. But I feel I’m creative in almost all facets of life. From creative solutions at a technical job to well-timed humor with friends. From how I customized my cars in my youth to the games I invented with my grandchildren.

I found it difficult to be creative when depressed. But when I’m not it just flows.

My granddaughter reminded me to be more free-thinking and creative in the time I spend drawing with her. As I teach her about contrasting colors and staying within lines, she teaches me to just do what comes to mind. To be happy doing it. To share it.

I feel I’m creative in love, cooking, and even in my workouts. Creativity can come from anywhere and in almost anything. From mowing the lawn to shaping the shrubs.

I’ve never felt more creative in my life. And I’m freeing up some time to express myself more this coming year.

All of us need to get busy coming up with creative solutions to a lot of the world’s problems.
