One Woman's Quest II 
I bloom when I can express myself by being creative, which helps me block out negativity. I can bury unpleasantness by writing and staying busy.

I’ve been feeling lately like my creative spark is withering. This is really unusual for me. A few weeks ago we got a new kitten, and she’s injecting some youthful energy into our household. Now I’m thinking of writing and illustrating some children’s books, something I’ve thought about doing for many years. Hopefully this will bloom me again. 🙂

Art and writing, cooking too. Walking and looking, listening–paying attention. The last I should do more of. (K)
