Have you had your chuckles lately? Finding humor in things is good for your brain. I just read an article in Reader’s Digest about the benefits of humor on increasing creativity. I had never heard this about the benefits of humor before. Reader’s Digest has the article posted on its website in six parts. Here’s a link to the sixth part that focuses on increasing creatively ^[1]. Once at the site for the article, click on the other five parts in the ‘In This Store’ section to the right.

Increasing our creative juices is something I believe a lot of us struggle with in regard to our fabric crafting. From a creative standpoint, I struggle the most with finding alternate sewing and construction methods for my designs. I’m convinced that easier methods must be possible for many of the traditional sewing/quilting techniques we were raised with or learned along the way.  I never would have imagined that finding humor in things would increase my creativity, but I plan to exercise this option a lot more in the future.

I start my day by reading the comic strip ‘Non Sequitur’ ^[2] because I enjoy its wry humor.  Now I know that I should read it for the good of my business.    Oh, please give me more job responsibilities like this one.
