Creativity

Sometimes I sit behind my desk and can rack my brain for hours and nothing creative or workable comes out of it. I am not a desk person. Put me behind a desk with no people around and I become worthless when it comes to brainstorming or being creative. I am sitting at Panera right now with my laptop and sitting on a plush couch. In the background their is chatter and restaurant noises. There is constantly foot traffic around me and of course the elevator music over the pa system. You would think that in this setting, one would not be able to concentrate, but put a cup of coffee in my hand and I become a modern day Thomas Edison. All of a sudden my mind comes out of its cramped state and begins to pulse creativity, flow, and ideas. My fingers begin to work feverishly on the keyboard as I jot down notes and the virtual ticker tape that is coming out of my mouth picks up rpms. Thank-you Panera for being busy and noisy. You are the iniator of many great projects in my life. A special blessing to you, Panera!!!
