Thanks

This is the time of year we reflect on all the things for which we can be thankful. Due to the current state of the economy that has affected so many of us this year I've made it a personal challenge to remember the intangibles that don't waiver with fluctuating markets, interest rates, real estate values, or employment status. One such aspect of life is the creative nature in all of us.

The pleasure I gain from compiling this blog is derived from being able to explore our creative forces that manifest in so many different ways. The cornucopia of ideas, images, and perspectives pouring out from within continuously fascinates me. The power we have to communicate emotion, enhance our environment, and sustain ourselves in inventive ways is a testament to the power of the human spirit. This spirit is at the root of our relationships, passion, and vision.

Whatever circumstance you find yourself in this Thanksgiving remember to reflect on the gifts that you intrinsically hold and be thankful for them. I'm thankful to you for sharing your gifts here at Creative Juices.
