Jim, a shrink told me once that creativity is the first thing to go with depression . No one can help you pick yourself up but you. For me, being around creative people helps me get back in the race. These days it is hard to find upbeat people to play with can be difficult.

I just went to a PPA affiliate meeting this week and found the reality of the economy hitting my friends hard. That does not allow much time for creativity. But I love a horse race and want to run so I keep looking. That is why I am back at school. (Yes feeling like the old nag!) But once in, I can run with the best and that is what I need to charge my battery.

I hope for you, it is getting out there and shooting what you want. If not try some new books, school, group or just keep talking to us. We will have lots of ideas and just in time, this too shall pass.
