Elizabeth Gilbert posted a similar question on her Facebook page this morning and she inspired me to think more about this idea. I loved reading what everyone was doing and creating today from art to love to meals.

I’ve been creating space in my home. I’ve finally migrated my photo libraries and am now working on making a photo gift project. I’ve been making holiday plans and creating lists and more lists.

Jeff made a new brine for a turkey and smoked it on the smoker for dinner tonight. We all are enjoying his master chef hobby.

Charlie was creating music on his sax and put on a little short show for us after dinner.

Juliana made fudge.

Christian made progress studying this weekend and playing and building communities on Minecraft.

We had a creative day.

What did you create?

Juliana and I have been scouting Pinterest for craft ideas to do as a family the day after Thanksgiving. We went to Michael’s today to gather materials. I can’t wait for us all to be together and to see what everyone chooses to make.

Happy Thanksgiving Week. Keep calm and create happiness.

Namaste.

I’m listening to Imagine Dragons perform live at the SAP Center and loving how creative and passionate they are. They are young and full of life and loving what they’re doing and they are excellent performers.

Seeing them share their gifts and talents, singing and playing and dancing and entertaining was so inspiring. The lead singer is 26 years old and has been playing with his band for five years. They’ve slowly moved up from playing clubs to amphitheaters and now arenas. The cool thing was that he was still in awe of where he was and the audience’s love for the band. They were on fire.

Watching passionate people create and share their gifts, whether it be cupcakes, music, sport, dance, art, writing, photography, delicious meals, jewelry, textiles, and anything else is entertaining and a gift to society.

What a show!! Thank you, Imagine Dragons!!
