Being Creative vs Artistic

A Wearer of Many Hats

Being Creative vs Artistic

Of the many hats I like to wear, I was recently questioning; which one would be my best fit?
I came across this great article regarding the difference between our Artistic and Creative Abilities.
I realized that the Creative Hat is my best fit. It encompasses all of my interests: writing, being artistic, sharing with others what I know, and at times finding solutions to problems, and many more.

If you are doing things that make you happy and you feel good, it will reflect on how you live your life.
You may be wearing a creative hat more often than you realize. Food for thought!

Juicing vs Smoothie Cure

Sunday Smoothies for Everyday

If like me, you are not big on juicing because of the pulp waste, these fruits and vegetables can definitely be used in your daily smoothie.
Remember the thickness of a smoothie is a choice, it all depends on the appliance you are using and the amount of liquid you add.
For example the fatigue recipe:
My carrots and beets are partially cooked, I use some of the beet or carrot cooking water for my liquid and the lemon is also in juice form. The spinach can be fresh or frozen and my apple of choice is usually Fuji.
All of these flavors blend very well together and make for an enjoyable smoothie drink.
My personal opinion is that a good healthy smoothie should have 2 or 3 of each, vegetables and fruits plus a tsp. combination of wheat germ, flax seeds and/or chia seeds.
At times I'll even introduce a fresh slice of ginger or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
For extra creaminess you can add some plain yogurt.
The whole idea of a smoothie is to try different healthy combinations that you will enjoy.
Be Adventurous!

My Retirement Hat

A Wearer of Many Hats
My Retirement Hat

In her book "Refuse to Choose!" Barbara Sher refers to some of us as scanners or, as she prefers to state, "individuals with multitalented brains," a person that has so many interests and passions that they can't choose just one. After reading her book, I came to understand why I enjoy wearing so many different hats.
All of my hats fit me and my diverse interests very well.
My retirement hat is now my newest favorite hat!

What to do first? I started by tackling my endless list of home, garden, and other yet-to-be-started projects. During the first few months, while painting, decluttering, and rearranging furniture, I put my creative and artistic hats back on and got to work. I prioritized my studio space, knowing it's my daily inspiration, and began to feel the freedom that can only be known when you finally hang up your lifetime of work hat for any other hat you feel like wearing.

I'm slowly getting reacquainted with my writing hat. I'm working on several short stories for a book that I hope to launch by the beginning of next year and will be the first of a short stories series.

Retirement is the stage of life I have been looking forward to for a long while, and now that I'm here, I'm enjoying it to the fullest of my abilities while doing, learning, and "chilling" whenever the mood occurs.

NOTE: Putting on our retirement hat for some of us does not mean we need to stop wearing our Work at Home Hat or, it may even be a good time for others to try that new hat on for size.
This hat is essential in many ways; it will help keep your mind younger and sharper while keeping your body active and more energized. Possibly shoo away boredom and help by keeping some of us more financially independent. Do not let age hold you back from trying on new hats.

I welcome any questions, sharing or comments you may have.
