Yes, i am creative. I only discovered that as an adult though. I have a wonderful sense of style (unfortunately I can't always afford it .. he he) and love to make ordinary things special. Every night I light incense and candles and I like to set a beautiful dinner table for our evening meal and create a restful ambiance to end the day with. This is an expression of creativity for me, as is the preparation and presentation of a meal. Being creative means filling the things you do with love, making each moment special, placing fresh lavender on our pillows to help us sleep better, picking herbs from the garden to brighten our packed lunches, writing a special note for my man - it takes a bit of practice a bit more time and borrowing of ideas, but it is worth it as it adds soul to everything you do and makes everything a ceremony of love to life.

Of course, it doesn't always happen and I don't always feel like it, but when i am feeling at my worst, it often helps to return to these things as they center me.

I experiment with different art mediums. Right now I am into pen and ink designs. They are just repetitive patterns. When I do them, they calm my mind and become a form of therapy to me. I like to experiment with things and see what 'fits' me. I can't really draw or sing or create masterpieces, but I think all people are creative, you just need to find how to express yours.
