I have never been creative

Or so I thought

I crocheted a blanket for my new niece

On Youtube and self taught

I love to crochet

It opens up my heart

And closes my overthinking

All I focus on is the art

Why has it not happened for us?

But so easy for others?

What is wrong with me?

I want to hide under the covers

Instead I would open my journal

And write whatever entered my head

The words would surprise me and sometimes a rhyme

I’d created something to be proud of, I had something that should to be said

I have tried painting, watercolours

Although my Husband is the talented one

He’s the artist and photographer

Doing hobbies together, his teaching- brings us closer and increases the fun

Gardening and pressing flowers are my current hobbies

I have an awareness of beauty as fresh air blows

When I am stressed I do these

It teaches me that not everything grows
