Here is a story about how making art or doing anything creative (even if you don't consider yourself to be an artist) is good for your health. Just find something you love to do, gather your materials, and play! https://www.npr.org/2019/12/30/792439555/making-art-is-good-for-your-health-heres-how-to-start-a-habit

@jenniferhunter I seriously am not creative in what most would consider any form of art, but that article mentions cooking and baking! People think I'm a great cook but most of the time I do go by recipes, perhaps elaborating on them a bit. If you can read, you can cook. So maybe cooking/baking is fulfilling that in me. I was in my glory at Christmas making oodles of cookies to give away. I knew I was making more than we would ever use but I enjoyed the process. I also enjoyed decorating the house, I do a lot of decorating.
Unfortunately with just the two of us here, I have little opportunity to exercise the cooking/baking part of my "creativity". Sometimes I do make cookies and give them to the lovely family across the street -- three children so they love it.
