Today is the third day of Spring, a time when the earth is becoming alive with the promise of new life. It’s the perfect time to begin this blog about Celebrating Creativity.
“Joie de vivre” — The Joy of Life. This is a French expression often used in English to express the exuberant joy of being alive. It’s an appreciation for all that is good, regardless of circumstances.
