Inspiring friends

I've got some creative friends. One of them likes to do all kinds of practical issues. She is making her own sweets and her own sauce that you eat together with a pie (I just realized that they have a new ready made very nice sauce in the store...)
She also likes to do carpenting, but there is one problem. She can not use any tools as long as his husband is around, and not use any wood either. Pretty hard to do any carpenting without any tools or wood... I visited her today and since her husband was not around (what a coincidence..) I suggested we should fix something that she needed to do. She was very happy get the chance to do a bit of carpenting. I can't understand how her husband can deny her to do some of the things that she loves to do.

Another friend called me the other day and asked me to model. OK, I said, since I had nothing in particular to do. I had no idea she had some artistic project in her mind and I was supposed to stand with a plastic umbrella, dressed in a special way with hat too and move when she was waving to me. When I was standing there quite a few people passed (fortunately there were noone I knew), I was thinking how easy it would be to play me a practical joke....

A third friend who never seems to give up on dreams, has some sort of musical project ongoing. I was offered the opportunity to contribute, but I'm not sure I can. Anyway I think it's cool.

It strikes me that if any of those people have something they want to do, they do it.
Isn't that inspiring?!
