Our normal up and down days become less normal when grief is present. You are so gifted and like most people who are creative artists, you are driven by your heart. That also adds to the grief element. I hope that these gray days pass soon and you will find a spark of creativity that will soon lead to a raging desire and ability to create your lovely and whimsical little creatures that we all love so much. In the meantime, you will be in my prayers.

Isn't it nice to try something a little different, sometimes?<br /><br />I've been struggling with my creative work this year too. Although, in my case it's caused by too many other things demanding my time, and feeling like I have no space to relax and enjoy my work. I'm sure we all get like that sometime. I hope it will change in another year, when my younger boy goes to school, because some days I would really just like to quit!<br /><br />I hope things get better for you as time passes.Barbara Primehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00170387142104252294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-19873333444027058862015-10-06T13:46:51.006+01:002015-10-06T13:46:51.006+01:00These are so fun, so creative.

It took me a long time to learn to be happy again, and then to not feel guilt for being happy. Sending hugs and a thought that you are not alone on this path, though it surely will feel that way often enough. Keep creating; get lost in it--what a gift you have.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-3350669478323454632015-10-06T13:43:09.163+01:002015-10-06T13:43:09.163+01:00A lot of us bloggers think of you at this time of ...A lot of us bloggers think of you at this time of year Gretel.
