It also helped that you shared your line of thinking. Really, thanks a lot.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13014510135335357701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29550002.post-1152925335264949572006-07-14T21:02:00.000-04:002006-07-14T21:02:00.000-04:00Mary Jane, you are absolutely right! I believe it...Mary Jane, you are absolutely right! I believe it is human nature to be creative, but sometimes we are blocked by the ideas in our heads, or the problems in our lives. I think we need to have a certain amount of confidence and sense of security in order to take the risks that creativity calls us to.LaurieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609188211326621400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29550002.post-1152893336201128522006-07-14T12:08:00.000-04:002006-07-14T12:08:00.000-04:00I have been giving your observations on creativity...I have been giving your observations on creativity a lot of thought. Most of us are creative in various aspects of our life and don't even recognize it. Often creativity takes the form of just looking at a problem from a slightly different angle. Creativity is not limited to the arts and crafts. It can be in the interpretation of statutes and legislation. It can be in the wording of a business letter. Creativity in one area of your life can lead to more creativity and satisfaction in other aspects of your life. I know when I am being creative in my hobbies, I also find myself becoming more creative at work.<BR/><BR/>Failure does not mean that you are not creative. If you can learn from your failures you are showing that you are creative. A recent book I was listening to talked about a scientist named Avery and how after the 1918/1919 influenza pandemic he went on to spend his life studying pneumococcus bacteria. Many of his experiments failed but he studied his failures and went on to design new experiments to test the observations from his failed results. He eventually proved through his failures that DNA was the building block of all life. I would call him creative.<BR/><BR/>Now that I have rambled on and on I just want to say that I look forward to more of your creative endevours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29550002.post-1152883874626017892006-07-14T09:31:00.000-04:002006-07-14T09:31:00.000-04:00Look what happens when I miss reading my blogs for...Look what happens when I miss reading my blogs for a day or so ... we're overrun with fish!<BR/><BR/>That's a wonderful mitten, and I hope you'll write the pattern down someday.
