thoughtful thursday
a spark. sometimes that is all it takes to get on with something; any type of project or activity. anything can be the spark. even something as simple and seemingly uninspired as used wrapping paper. i had not created in my art journal for several months because of responsibilities and then extreme fatigue. it was sad that i couldn't or didn't feel like creating. then along came a gift from friends, wrapped in paper that really caught my attention. it was of a simple floral pattern but different. when i opened the gift i opened it carefully because i wanted to save the paper. the gift was lovely. as the days passed, i admired my gift and the paper it came wrapped in. soon i was inspired to at least cut out the flowers on the paper. a pile of flowers sat on the table. each time i walked by the table i looked at the flowers. soon i was formulating a creation for the art journal. and then i was working in the journal. i had created a page! from that page, i continued to work; completing three more pages in a short period of time. now that i am creating again, i feel relieved and grateful to be able to put all the ideas in my imagination on paper. a spark. sometimes that is all it takes.
