“Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow…Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
KURT VONNEGUT, Man Without a Country
Silver Birch Press 
Thanks for this today! I was practicing my art and am taking a coffee break to warm up and think and hopefully restore my attitude to something less than foul. This helps! I’m a Kurt Vonnegut fan for some 40 +years. It feels encouraging as well as warming (at least to my attitude) that these words and this thought was the 1st thing I saw when I clicked onto WordPress.
