My creative spell from the weekend is suddenly gone.

Sometimes, I think that the logical and creative sides of the brain are separate. As I’ve gotten older, the separation seems to be broader.  See, when I go through long hours of my logic side, my creative side shuts down….and then, it’s hard to get it kick started.

Yesterday, meetings started at 10:30 and continued until 7.  There were breaks within, of course, but just that stretch of time made it…..long.  Honestly, I fell asleep about 9:30 last night….

What brought this up to me?  Well, I sat down to do a quick little blog entry, dealt with the slow connection I have when I am up here, and then…..nothing.  I sat and looked at the blank screen….took a sip of my coffee….checked my horoscope….

My spiritual side pops up now and then.  Yesterday, I had this moment where it was like I could see this one person’s aura.  That’s only happened to me a couple of times….and I don’t know how to describe it other than aura.  It’s only happened when I’ve been in contact with a really negative person…and it’s like they radiate unhappiness and hateful feelings.  I mentioned it to one of the guys (that I just love by the way - he is such a good man - and so funny).  He said that someone else had said the exact same thing about the person.

Lord, that was a convoluted statement.

I’ve been trying to remember, too, what I was like as a kid.

I remember some of the things I was interested in:  Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, Barbies, Dance….. but I’ve been trying to remember the deeper things….things like….what did I want to be when I grew up?  what made me happy?  what gave me joy?

I think that’s the creative part of my brain trying to reach my logical parts…..

And on that note, I need to get in gear.  I have a little bit of work to do this morning…..and  still need to hop in the shower…..

Hope YOU have a logical and creative day….wherever you need your brain to take ya
