My need for creativity

I do have a need for creativity.  I need to do something everyday.  For many years I put that into cooking, and it has been a life long devotion.  However now at 72 , I have reduced my standards quite a bit.  I have done knitting, gardening and painting, and writing.  I still write a blog.

 I have had health issues for much of my life and two years ago I decided that I needed to change things.  One thing I decided to do was honor my creativity and make it more of a priority.  For what ever reason, my health has improved unimaginably for the good.  I am loving what I am doing.  If I could make a little money at it, it would be heaven.   I am not counting on the money part.

I need to be using my mind.  That is one reason that I take classes.  I love to manipulate the photos, although I am not into processing heavily myself.  It is fun to do, but it is in the end not the way that I want all my pictures to look.  Now everywhere I look I am thinking, how can I make a shot out of this.  This is good!  It needs a photo.  My husband drives me around while I shoot.  

And to be honest, I love that some people like my photos.  That feeds me.  But I think I might still do the photography if no one ever saw my photos.
