Happy freakin Friday. Sheesh, can I just tell you… it’s been one of those days… where technology just doesn’t seem to want to work no matter what you do to try and figure it out. Usually I’d blame Mercury for this one, but the planet isn’t even in retrograde, and other than the fact that it IS Friday, maybe technology (i.e. iPhones, apps, computers) wants a little break… which who can blame it, but when it comes to my sanity technology better get off it’s arse and WORK!!! I don’t know about you guys, but when it’s on the fritz my whole world goes a bit topsy turvy. The flow of creative energy inside me seems to stop cold when my trusty (?) gadgets are not energetically flowin (even though they are fully charged… ahem). I need to not have a care in the world in order for this energy to really course through my veins, and for me to be in creation mode till the point that hours fly by without me even noticing. Technology is great, but sometimes I think the simpler times (sans computerized products) were so much easier!
Since I’m out of sorts today, I wanted to try and get back on track with a list of things that I am grateful for. That always puts things back into perspective for me and helps re-instate that beautiful flow of artistic imagination. Without further a-do… my gratitude list for this first edition of Fantastical Fridays and what makes them so fantastic in the first place (for me):
1. I didn’t have to wake up early today to go to work.
2. AND I didn’t have to waste precious gas driving alllllll the way to Burbank!! Giving myself extra hours back in the day!
3. I was able to practice with one of my favorite yoga teachers this morning.
4. Getting my new favorite holiday latte while laughing all the way with my bff.
5. Glitter… I am grateful for glitter and the happiness and excitement it evokes in me every time I see it. Yes, I may have been a cat in a previous life.
Ahhhh… so much to be thankful for, makes the trials of our difficult days not seem so bad, eh? What are you thankful for, and what helps to bring back your creative inspiration?
Have a beautiful and luxurious weekend my friends!

Jen
