Making Time To Be Creative

There has to be more to it than this. I often think that on days when the drudgery of health care and the fatigue that can only come from putting other people’s needs ahead of my own for years and years outpaces my mental defenses. On days like these, I am left with very little reserve. Very little energy left for creativity. And yet, it is on these specific days when creativity has the most to offer. It is when there is little left in the tank to burn that creativity can refill that and make the way forward possible. I forget that sometimes. Today, I was reminded. And it has made all the difference.
