I love being able to create. I'm grateful for the invention of paper and pens and the joy and imagination they encite in me. Jane and I love to color and paint and get messy with crayons. But there is something special about a blank piece of paper and a black pen. This week I had the opportunity to create a little city for Janes play cars to drive around in. She loves cars and thinks it's pretty awesome Aunt Wendy has a fire truck and garbage truck! Watching her pretend in something I created was so fulfilling and fun to watch. Then I took a little time while both kiddos were down (rare) to draw a thank you card for my aunt and uncle. Sketching and doodling really is quite therapeutic for me. I really need to do it more often.
I am so thankful for creation and the ability to dream. Both the pen and the paper had to be dreamed up and then someone had to create them. People are capable of truly great things. There is so much ingenuity in this world. I am grateful for the chances I am blessed with to create and dream as well. A big reason I picked Graphic Design as my college major was the love I have of those two principles. It really is so fun to imagine things up and bring them to life. A talk was given once on the desire humans have to create and I love that! We all innately want to create, to build, to dream the impossible, to make things happen! Isn't that neat! Creation and creativity are awesome!!!!!!!!! I'm grateful for people and the creation of the pen and paper!
