Being a creator, not a consumer

I should have a way to flag my blogs. Early morning blogs are usually reflections, thoughts, inspirations and later day blogs are the happenings of our day. Each of us has a unique contribution to offer to the world so our choices are important. I think by paring down to a more simpler life I can put more of my energy into creating instead of consuming. It's not about defining yourself by what you own. I think it is extremely important that we nurture and encourage the creativity of the next generation. I'm hoping that this time spent with our grandson is doing that and he is unafraid to pursue his hopes and dreams.
