Joy

I haven't been very good about finding time to do things that bring me joy.  I mean, besides watching movies with my hubby or talking to friends.  I mean creative outlets.

My husband is an artist, for example.  This is something that he did on the side professionally for may years.  I have many creative outlets, perhaps too many.  I don't feel as though I make enough time for such activities.  Martha Beck talks about how such things will help you on your journey toward your north star.  I get lost in certain creative activities and I should do such things more often.  I feel that while engaged in activities that bring joy, it defuses stress therefore improves health.

Have you made time for creative outlets lately?
