Day 10: Today I am thankful for creativity.
Creativity keeps me sane, well as sane as I can be. Most of the time my creativity is best expressed in writing. Usually I have so many thoughts going through my mind, but when I put a pen to paper I have a way of working through them all. I have kept many many journals since I was a pretty young child including the 4 I have kept over the last 3 years I have been with Adam. My freshmen year I took creative writing and loved it. I wrote many poems and short stories at that time. I would love to take more, and hope to write at least one book. Cooking if nothing else! Writing helps me understand my thoughts better and is my spiritual creative outlet.
My emotional outlet is definately singing! For the most part I am only brave enough to sing in my car or the kitchen with Adam. I used to be a lot more open about it, maybe its karaoke time. We love to sing and dance together. I have never sang so openly infront of anyone else, even infront of crowds. Singing for me has a total release that I am addicted to. Music as a whole is beautiful and mind blowing. I have to have music on no matter what I am doing or where I am. Even now I am listening to the Wicked soundtrack, and singing. My soul gets a strange weightlessness and I feel every breath as I inhale and all that I am holding on to gets let go and blown out with my exhale. I feel a change in viewpoint and uplifted after singing a song that I love as best and as passionately as I can. Singing can help me feel better about life and happier in general.

i LOVE singing too!!! Too bad I can't fly solo- only if the music is loud enough to compensate :) I sang really powerfully & loudly to Celine Dion songs when I was driving to yoga in Sac (with no Ro in the car, don't wanna blow out the young ears) and it is THE BEST. I get charged up and feel fabulously free and wild when I sing! LA LA LA LA LA! Thanks for reminding me :)
