- the smoky scent from someone's wood stove coloring the early morning air
- a warm morning instead of the bitter cold we've had recently
- the colors of sunrise out the bus window
- a night with a really good sleep
- wearing a skirt and leggings
- looking forward to some plans for rest and enjoyment on the weekend
- a good appointment
- sitting in the park to read
- good conversations with friends
- laughing at house church as sharing our weeks and studying scripture intermingled tonight

Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 37
Today's Daily 5:
"If..." Take 5
"If you were to name the most creative outlet that you have, what would it be?"
(from "If... Questions for the Soul" by Evelyn McFarlane & James Saywell)
It seems pretty cliche to say so in this space, but blogging is definitely my most creative outlet. It's the place where my heart gets left on the page. Where I share what I'm thinking about and feeling. Where you can come to find the things that are inspiring me, the things that are making me laugh, and the things that are making my heart ache.
Journaling is a close second, though I do less of it these days. Or less of it in really traditional, write with a pen in a book, on paper, type forms.
Email falls into the same category as blogging, too, especially with my closest friends who are far away.
And then, if I was going to name other creative outlets, I'd have to include cooking and baking, photography, pinterest, reading, scrapbooking, and even my clothing some days.
What about you? What's your greatest creative outlet right now? What are ways you express the creativity of your soul?

Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 36
Today's Daily 5:
- Sleeping well on a night where I wasn't sure what would happen, given a number of factors that often affect my sleep
- Thankful that the voice of peace grows louder all the time, drowning out (or at least coexisting with) the fears, lies, and panic that so often threaten to overcome
- "this is how it feels to be held..."
- Warm sun on my face
- scarf wearing
- girl talk last night
- seeing a smile on someone's face
- popcorn
- reading a book on the bus
- a very much needed evening off, curled up in bed, watching some TV on DVD and catching up on some stuff that's been sliding all week
Whimsical Wednesday, September 21, 2011
It's another eclectic collection here on Whimsical Wednesday, showcasing a few of the things that caught my eye on pinterest over the last week.
