I loved President Uchtodrf's talk! He made laugh out loud and think hard the rest of the talk. I loved what he said about creativity:
"Everyone can create. You don't need money, position or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty," he said. Mothers not only assist God in providing bodies for and teaching their children, but those who are not mothers will find that creativity "extends far beyond the limits of canvas or sheet of paper and not require a brush, a pen or the keys of a piano."Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before: colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter." Those who feel intimidated can begin with small things like a letter of appreciation, learning a new skill or beautifying a space in some way.
"As you take the normal opportunities of your daily life and create something of beauty and helpfulness, you improve not only the world around you but also the world within you."

That was my favorite part too. It made me feel a little better--as I don't play the piano, dance, or sing (besides in the car, alone). My talents are those of the lesser known types--the kind you can't see in a telent show.
Thanks for the little chat afterwards too. I cherish you as a friend!
