Creative is in the eye of the beholder

-
My friend once told me a story about how his kindergarten teacher singled him out for not drawing a bunny correctly - as an adult he was a very funny creative guy in many ways but said incident had a big affect on how he felt about himself in regards to his drawing abilities.

Whose to say what is right or wrong creative wise especially to a kid at that young age. True some creative efforts will be better than others but it is important not to forget that the act of having fun and being creative is just as important as turning out a masterpiece.

I often wonder if these teachers are aware of the impact a slight comment can have. In so many cases, the impact of said slights go beyond their notice, completely unintentional.

But still - creativity for the sake of creativity is very important. The image of the watermelons? That's my favourite of the lot.

Mayan massage benefits all organs in abdomen region, by restoring then to their natural position and allowing for better blood and energy flow through the body. How often you get treatments directly depends on your goal for getting this type of massage.
