Why I Have to Create!

Did you ever wonder why you love to do what you do?  Or, where your love of doing one thing over another came from originally? 
I can't work in a traditional sense.  I've tried and failed, repeatedly.  But, what to do?  I come from a family of people who are masters at culinary arts.  My maternal Grandmother was trained as a Pastry Chef, yet worked as a cook with air force.   I have failed at that too - not working for the air force - cooking!  So, what is a cooking challenged black sheep to do?  In my case, two early loves proved to be the direction of my creative life, designing and writing.
 
My imagination doesn't allow me to hyper-focus on things that aren't within my field of interest.  This was made all too painfully clear to me as my children were growing up.  They would put their clothes into the mending basket for repair and those articles would sit, often, long after the child had out-grown them.  And so, after years of this experience, when they would have occasion to put something into the mending basket, they would say good-bye to it! Your children will be the first to point out your short-comings.  Even today, I'm not much better at that aspect of sewing.
