Creativity Reawakened

I think I'm finally finding my creativity again. For two years it was wrapped up into wedding planning so tightly that there wasn't any room for non-wedding expressions. After the wedding, I was so drained that I didn't do much and when I attempted something, I wasn't pleased with the results or gave up half-way through. I didn't write, draw, doodle, nothing. And then I got a job at a company that allowed me to be creative. My emails to staff were outlets for me to write funny bits. I wrote a poem about turning off the lights and erasing the dry erase board before leaving a room. For our staff retreat we divided into different groups named after trees. So I did simple sketches of trees native to Georgia. I shocked myself with how good they looked. My creative expressions started off small and in spurts but my desk at work slowly became full of colorful doodles and my notes were interspersed with random sketches. This blog has picked up speed, I'm writing more and more, and I want to continue to write, color, and create. I spend so much time alone because of Sam's schedule that I have to do something when I come home. There is only so much tv and so many conversations one can have with a cat. Today, I grabbed the vials of ink of my shelf that I haven't touched in years. I pulled out the silver and gold nibs and carefully selected the right one. And then I sketched a colorful castle that I'm going to give to friends as a gift for their baby. My fingers are stained with ink, I'm jamming to Of Monsters and Men on my mp3 player, and badly dancing in between changing colors. I'm happy and I'm creating.
