I've been struggling with today's muse because I don't necessarily have something positive or inspiring to share, but then I realized a muse doesn't always have to be that way. Sometimes we have things that occur in our lives that make for not so pleasant times. For instance, financial difficulties, marital woes, rebellious children and, to the extreme, death. Those are experiences that can often birth the most profound thoughts and strong emotions to convey a story, a poem, a thought or an encouragement.
Today, don't turn away from the negative to look for your creative juice. Embrace whatever is happening to you because you might just find the key to unlocking your muse.

Wise words!!!!
That's very profound and very true. Angst and woe have inspired many creative works. I always enjoy your posts, thanks so much for participating :)
I think that is a great post. Sometimes we do learn more about ourselves and those around us during tough times. Sometimes the stuff we learn becomes a blessing in itself...
Emotions are at their most raw in times of distress and that's when you learn the most about yourself. I like your post today.
Very true. I have been trying more and more lately to use negative things in this way, turn them into positives, write about them... I think it really helps, it's just forcing yourself to start doing it that is the hardest
That's perfect! I couldn't have said it better myself!
