I feel like I take this whole idea the other way around: I am usually more studious and boring and truth-y, and I want to be more interesting (to myself, at least), but it takes effort. Practicing some small artistic habits as often as I can helps get me out of myself and stretches my mind and heart. Without these things, I feel I could easily slide back into closed, boring, and really, less health and less my best self.<br /><br />How awesome that in order to post this comment, it says, "Please prove you're not a robot." :-) Really, I'm trying!Sullivannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18500634.post-57390777547391732752012-05-09T10:43:32.922-04:002012-05-09T10:43:32.922-04:00Jen, your hubby is very blessed!

My day job is not nearly as inspiring: admin assistant and not for an artsy group!<br /><br />However, I did start an arts group that encourages and promotes up and coming artists in the Washington, DC area. So that helps balance things!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165335580241212248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18500634.post-42382489266486067182012-05-09T08:40:15.458-04:002012-05-09T08:40:15.458-04:00My husband is a painter, and he has a day job as a...My husband is a painter, and he has a day job as an admissions counselor at an art school. It's a good fit for him. He's surrounded by artists and looks at art many of his days, and then he tries to get to his studio a couple of times a week. He has an art group too, which helps i think. What do you do for your day job?Jen @ My Morning Chocolatehttp://www.mymorningchocolate.comnoreply@blogger.com
