Hi Pam:

CONGRATULATIONS !! You are 'discovering' that you are still 'creative. And having your own apartment, where you can fix it up 'to suit you', it will allow this creativeity to 'bloom'.

I liked the part where you said you can find 'stuff' at a yard sale/ garage sale / getting-rid-of-my-junk sale, and find a NEW USE for it. That shows creativity is still present. Just because we had a stroke, we don't have to give up the things we enjoyed, we just need to find a way that we can still do them, just differently.

Keep up your fine work Pam.

Denny

Pam,

The learned kind of creativity is hard to achieve when one is not happy and the mind is too full of other stuff to pull up the snipets of things seen or been taught in the past. This is a wonderful sign that yours is coming back!'

There is a word that popped into my mind when I read your blog. No, not that one. The word is possibilities. When your life seems so over-ran with reality, there is sometimes no room more possibility. Eventually, possibles start creeping in again. That' what being creative means to me, seeing the possibility of something.

I also like turning things into something else. Last year my brother tore out the baseboards in one of his rooms, brought them out here for me to burn. I cut them up and built a bookshelf. It looks great.

hey Pam:
