Resources
Your community is a resource for information, supplies, classes, networking, and other opportunities. My local library, Morton Grove Public Library, recently organized a Craft Swap. While swap could be a bit of a misnomer, it was an event where people could donate leftover art, craft, and sewing supplies that would in turn be picked up by someone else that could use it. The swap part came in when those looking for supplies brought items for the local food pantries as a donation/entrance fee. It was a truly incredible thing to watch everyone's delight in their discoveries. Now this was on a grand scale but don't forget freecycle.com or craigslist.com where you can find "free" or low cost art supplies for our passion. Recycle and repurpose. This feeling of community was the best and I was proud to be involved. Why not do it on a smaller scale or in yoru neighborhood? Who doesn't have stuff that they aren't using any more? A craft that you liked for a while or tried out but have no more interest in it but have all the supplies? Set one up with the neighbors!

So this week I ask "What is happiness to you?" Yes, happiness can be such a vague word. But different things symbolize happiness to each of us. For you, what does happiness look like? What does it feel like? What specific things make you happy?
