the third point in 'the art of creative thinking' list is to be open to whatever comes your way. you know, all those things we take for granted every day from the grubby little hand of your five year old offering you a candy heart to the bird singing outside your window. there is inspiration lurking everywhere and opportunities in hidden places. people around you who could influence your thinking and even change your life. open your eyes to it all and don't put up any blinders.
i have always admired beautiful, expressive photography but never thought it would be something i would dive into. i really do have enough hobbies already. but the opportunity came up for me to learn a bit about photoshop and a retreat become available where i will be able to learn tricks and techniques for capturing those special moments. i could have gone with my first reaction and let the idea lay dormant because i really didn't have the time, but something was pushing me towards giving this idea or desire a chance to bloom. i haven't gotten far into learning much at all and already i am completely hooked. i'm glad i allowed myself to stay open to what was coming my way.
