day 6 {fluid}

{see this on Flickr}

It rained all day today (and yesterday, and the day before that, and outside, I hear it raining still...) and the first thing that popped into my head when I saw that today's word was "fluid" was all that water puddling up outside my windows. Not very original, but extremely applicable.

Creativity Boot Camp is such an amazing summer project! It gives me a task; a purpose in the otherwise unstructered, lazy days of summer (which actually aren't unstructured or lazy at all...oh no, they're simply FILLED with online classes and ACT tests and such...blech. If only I could be completely lazy [without repercussions] for once...but if my summer was as unstructured as I wish it was, I would probably go insane anyways, so I'm going to stop this parenthetical tangent and continue with this post which was originally about fluidity...)

...now I've lost my place.

Ah, yes.

 Boot camp.

So, as I was saying, boot camp gives me a task to do. It helps me let creativity take hold in a non-chaotic way.

I adore it.

P.S. Leave me a comment! Tell me whatcha think of this whole...creativity thang.

Lovely Spring,
Please don't leave me ever again (until your sister Summer comes to visit. Then you may go.) But for now, please stay awhile. Your lilting breezes ruffle my hair in a teasing sort of way and your sunny afternoons beg to be enjoyed. I like the way the trees look this year - in the past, they were just babies, but now they have truly blossomed. And thank you for the rain! Oh, the rain. My umbrella has been used and I have already made plans to buy some galoshes (but only if you promise it'll rain again. Otherwise, it might not be worth it, seeing as I'm...completely broke.) Anyway, the rain was wonderfully welcome. And did you know that I flew a kite the other day? The sun was shining, debris from a lovely picnic was sitting on the grass nearby, and my date was fantastic. That day was perfect - thank you, Spring. Everyone could use a little more kite-flying, I think.

With affection,
Caroline
