Crafty and Creative

I'm beginning to see a theme emerge in my life. Whenever I get frustrated, moody, or depressed even, I know there is one thing that will bring me joy; food! Wait, no, I meant to type, CRAFTS! Yes, give me a some paint brushes, a piece of wood, fabric or paper and I can transport myself to a much happier place. Finding my creative spirit always improves my mood- if not exactly setting the world on fire by my artistry. I suppose that's why I enjoy writing as well. I have a deep urge to create something, something meaningful and lasting. Well, meaningful to me, not profound but always personal. While visiting my grandparents, nearly 20 years ago I saw a sculpture in Palm Desert gallery that read, The Best Art Thrills the Heart Around my house the best art consists of crayon drawings and lego pieces made into Bionicles.
