Medication combined with my natural mood cycle are big factors in drowning my creativity. It is hard to get motivated and I feel a great deal of my art lacks the inspiration it once had. In the past I have gone more than a year without taking out my supplies.

This year is different. I joined a weekly art and coffee group. On some occasions I force myself to attend but I end up being grateful I have done so. There is something that is therapeutic about art. I may rarely find inspiration in my craft but playing with my supplies is still keeping the 'muscle' in shape.
