Creative Saturday
Have you ever had inspiration hit when you were in a place that you didn't expect? Well...I found inspiration while sitting on the potty. Yeah, that's funny but true. There are textured walls in our house and if you look hard enough, you'll find that in the midst of the textures, you can see pictures begin to unfold. (Something close to the ink blot pictures that are used in psychiatrists offices.)
This isn't my actual textured wall photo but even looking at this picture, I see a dove and a silhouette of a father and son fishing. I don't expect you to see what I see but it's there. In fact, you may see something even more phenomenal than that.
I've also discovered that by people watching, there lies many stories waiting to unfold. The other night, for instance, I was in line waiting for a jazz concert to start and I saw so many interesting characters. I saw a couple both in motorized wheelchairs...elderly, obviously in love. It gave me a chance to tuck away a story idea in my brain before moving on to the next fascinating people that caught my eye.
Do you find creativity in unexpected ways? If so, where do you get your creativity?

If I told you I get inspiration from voices in my head, you might think I'm kidding....but I'm not.
They don't just give me an idea, if it's a song, they give me the tune; if it's a poem, they give me the words.
When it comes right down to it, I can't really take credit for anything I create because it just comes to me. True.
I like the idea of a story from the elderly couple in wheelchairs. That's creative!

Yes I do find that my creativity for anything comes in the weirdest of places! Been there and done that on the toilet, shower, in the car, at the doctor's office, you name it and when I don't have a pen or paper handy that is when I get the best ideas.
Now I keep a little notebook and pen handy with me as much as I can. You just knew know when God will provide you with that divine inspiration!

I'm not sure I've been terribly creative on the potty but I think my best thoughts while mowing the lawn or gardening. Can't wait for it to be warm enough to do both of those tasks.
Simone, I love the way your mind works. It makes me smile inside.
God bless and have a great week!
