Creativity, imagination, ingenuity!
Creativity, probably not in the way you are thinking....
Most of us see creativity in our minds as some sort of art. Painting, writing music or maybe even scrapbooks are some of the things I picture when I think about someone who is creative, but today I want to talk about a practical sort of creativity.
Some of the most creative people I know are creative because they have to be. Why? Because people are broke! Having very little money inspires creativity like nothing else I know. It inspired my mom to some of her best culinary creations. It inspired me to make an anniversary into an amazing, romantic time. Everything from birthday parties to halloween costumes to homemade gifts.... some of the best things in life are free.
I am looking for fun and creative ways to spend my time; things that a couple can do which would be cheap or free. I love to have new and wholesome experiences on a couple of dimes or less. (Not to mention it is often the case I just don't have any money.) This does not have to translate into a boring time or spending days on end in front of the TV set.... let's exchange ideas.

Ken and I often just spend time in a park, holding hands and walking and talking. It's the most romantic part of our relationship!
For our anniversary which I mentioned above, I pitched our tent in the backyard and we slept out there and ate and cooked out back. It was awesome! Best of all we could use the bathroom inside our own house!!
Another idea is to go to an observatory. That is a little more expensive, (about what a movie cost around here) but it is WAY more fun and romantic!
I think you're right. When artists or verious type become comfortable financially, their creativity often declines.
Stopping in to say Hello, and to wish you a Merry Christmas!
God Bless,
Robert
