Restoring myself

It has been so very long since I have come here.  My life has been turned upside down since my last post and my creative muse has taken some hard blows.  But I think I see her peeking around the corner seeing if it is safe to come out.  I call her Suzie Q.   I wonder if she will recognize me.  I have aged physically and my arthritic hands struggle to play.  But perhaps she can see beyond those flaws and see the forever young part of me.
I would love to keep closer company with her in the days to come.
 I'm thinking I have been stuck in a rut because I have been limiting myself in creating to the ways I have always done.
Miss Suzie Q is hinting to me that creativity has many faces that I have not even dreamed of.  That is why there is never time for boredom.
My body may be crumbling, but my mind is clear.  I may not be able to garden any longer but I can enjoy the Flora around me.  Colored pencil art may be hard with my arthritic hands but watercoloring is still a possibilty.
I can knit, I can write via my computer and so much more.
My inner ears work fine too so I'm going to turn my ears to Miss Q's voice.  I bet if I begin to listen, she will take me places,I never imagined!
Hope you will come along for the ride.
