I am grateful for creativity. Yesterday Lana and I walked through the new flagship store of Deseret Book in Downtown SLC. I was way impressed and we were told that Elder Richard G. Scott had his art displayed all over the store. We walked around to each of the numbered paintings and read little excerpts about each one. They were beautiful. I was inspired and uplifted. I said to myself; I want to do that. In the little pamphlet Elder Scott says,
"Creativity gives a renewal, a spark of enthusiasm, a zest for life that we all need. If you choose wisely, it doesn't have to absorb a lot of time. Life will become more than just a monotonous routine from one day to another."Maybe, just maybe, this is what I needed to motivate myself to practice the piano again or to pull out my beads and make some jewelry. I am not the most creative person in the world, but I agree with Elder Scott that sometimes a little creativity is all you need to spark some happiness and give meaning to life. How can we all be more creative in our lives?
Adrienne,
