A friend posted the link to this short speech by Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, Pray, Love, on nurturing creativity and the nature of genius. I found it interesting so I thought I’d share the link here. She makes some interesting observations about how creative types (writers, musicians, etc.) are viewed and view themselves.
I can hardly believe it’s Friday. I’ve been really busy this week, but it feels good to mark stuff off the to-do list, some of which has been hanging around on that list for a long time.
Today was the first day where I got an inkling of spring. Sure, it’s still two months away and we’ll have plenty of cold weather between now and then, but it was in the upper 50s. Normally, that’s pretty chilly for me, but considering it was in single digits with below zero wind chills at night just a week ago, it felt positively balmy. Add to that the sunshine and the fact that my daffodils have popped out of the ground a tad, and it gave me a good feeling.
