BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Creativity This week's article: "Creativity and a light heart

For me it's a sense of adventure -- finding pleasure in small things. Like sitting in a coffee shop and watching children; couples and just marvelling at the beauty of relationships/people relating with love and kindness to each other.

I agree, PennyG - it's a good idea to count your blessings on a regular basis in order to remember they're there - it's sometimes too easy to overlook what we already have, or take it for granted.

That's a good one, voiceovergal - and so often, I feel, a sense of adventure is the flip side of fearfulness or apprehension - if we could just make sure it always went the positive way into adventurousness, life would be that much more creative.

Something that helps me have a light heart is to get out and enjoy the outdoors. A little sunshine and fresh air certainly lifts my spirits.

Oh, yes, Pepper, you are so right!

I'm saying this and outside it's grey and miserable and even the dog doesn't want to go out. However, we will find our sunshine inside, even if not much fresh air...

Spring will be here soon and we'll make up for it then. Good one. A walk always helps.
