For No Other Reason



My little one was sick all yesterday and needed me close. So I spent the day on the couch stitching Stupid Sock Creatures, one for him and one for me. His I had no problem justifying but mine?

I tried to look for some deeper meaning - was this a creativity totem, or perhaps an ode to creative life? At the end of the day though I had to admit to myself that this little critter (the one on the right) was made just for the fun of it.

Sometimes there is no other reason for doing things past the pure enjoyment of them. The trick is to allow them without having to make them into something more.

When have you enjoyed practicing enjoyment?
