Creative Thinking - Art of Gracious Living #43

Creative Thinking - Art of Gracious Living #43


Creative thinking is the ability to apply knowledge to seemingly unrelated situations. It's the reason no knowledge is ever wasted.

My high school teachers would be happy to know I still use algebra and the periodic chart, even though I do not work in a field where you would think it necessary.

When we can take information learned in one arena and apply it to another that is the essence of creative thinking. Creative thinking is essential to leading a gracious life.

Art of Gracious Living #42 - Being a Guest


When you're a guest, your job is to create the event. Your host is providing the setting and the circumstances, it is incumbent on you to bring yourself to the event fully.

You're invited to an event because the host thinks you'll add something significant to the occasion. Bring your personality and your charm. That's all that is expected of you.

However, a small hostess gift is always appropriate.

Thursday

Trish and I had breakfast today and it was great to see her. If I don't get to have lunch with her every week it just seems like my week is incomplete.

She, Teresa and I had lunch earlier this week, but it seemed so quick. So, when Trish asked yesterday about breakfast I said yes. Afterwards I did a pile of MHA things, not that there isn't more to do. Isn't that the way with all jobs?

Greg called tonight. He is safely back in the states after his trip to London. It was good to hear his voice. I can't wait to hear all the details of his trip. I haven't been to England in many years now so it will be good to get a first hand report.

Tonight I've been working on some podcasting stuff and also playing with the map of where I've been.
