Create

My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living.

I am fortunate in that I get to travel at least once a month and get inspiration from travel and meeting new people. Sometimes I feel I have so much inspiration that I find it hard to focus and actually create something.

I opened the Christmas package Trudy gave me and saw two beautiful
bracelets. I saw they had charms on them, however, because I didn’t have my
glasses on I didn’t see the words engraved on them.

Trudy (Tutru Designs) had designed the bracelets especially for me. Once
I got home I had a closer look and saw that each charm had one word:  'Faith' and 'Create'. 

Yesterday I heard that a good friend has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She is having surgery and should be fine, however, I'm reminded once again that we must live each day as if it's our last.

What did you do today? Was it a day you are happy with? Did you do one thing that made your life seem worthwhile, joyful or meaningful?

 The last few weeks of travel in the USA have been inspiring and have left me feeling as if I have so much to write and so little time.

Fall Foliage

Beginning in Montreal and driving through Vermont and Maine, following the changing colours of fall was beautiful. Staying in an inn in Camden, Maine for a few days and experiencing life on the
coast was so relaxing. The sky had a golden tinge to it and, with the golds, reds and browns of the leaves, it created an idyll I didn’t want to end.
