Thank you, Skye, for taking the time to re-explain what you meant. Which I think is that you're saying "start small." Start reprogramming the little things that suck the joy out of the days and move on.

Pat, I think I know somewhere deep down that creativity is the only way to reconnect. I've been sniffing around that trail in various ways since at least 2003, with the major interruption of recovering from life from mid 03-through most of last year.

I am so glad that creating is working for you.
