Welcome to Litsy!

Lately, we've been attacked by viruses ranging from colds to the flu... despite all the vitamins we've been taking. Still, we found time for creativity in December. We wrapped gifts, made cards, baked cinnamon rolls, decorated the house, and did some scrapbook pages in our diary.

According to Julia Cameron, I'm not the only one resistant to Artist's Dates. Hoping for inspiration (or at least more direction), I checked this book out on Libby. It's a quick read, and it did give me more ideas. More interestingly, it helped me see that I already routinely do things that I never considered Artist's Dates, like getting a massage or going to a park or baking a treat. So, yay me, I guess?

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Yesterday‘s haiku was inspired by my night in my stark little room at the dojo. It was a cool (not cold, it‘s Hawaii) blustery night with the rain hitting against the window invoking a cozy, comforting feeling.

Rain pounds the window
Drops shine, diamonds in the night
Cozy in my room

A short little book on creativity I picked up at a John Cleese presentation of the 50th anniversary of Monty Pythons Holy Grail. I met John Cleese once prior to this. A very friendly man. This is a little gem of insightfulness.

I‘ve mostly been coloring and it‘s almost midnight but tomorrow‘s another day.

Eh, it was OK.
Mostly positive mindset stuff, and none of it in any particular depth. It's like a big plate of aperitifs to pick and choose from, but with nothing substantial enough to really get your teeth into.
Also, I don't care what her woke credentials are, blithely asking (rhetorically, I presume) "Can you afford NOT to do therapy?" is financially obtuse at best and, arguably, ableist.
Two valuable things I took away from it ?
