April 9th- April is National Humor Month. How appropriate for a month with an "April Fools" holiday! Have you ever had one of those times when you could not stop laughing? Describe what happened? How did it feel? Where you in public or private?

April 10th - "In order to create, we draw from our inner well. This inner well, an artistic reservoir, is ideally like a well stocked fish pond... If we don't give some attention to upkeep, our well is apt to become depleted, stagnant, or blocked... As artists we must learn to be self nourishing. We must become alert enough to consciously replenish our creative resources as we draw on them - to restock the trout pond, so to speak." - Julia Cameron

Do you regularly restock your trout pond? Why or why not?

April 11th - What activities feed your inner self? List ten things that you could do on a regular basis to restock your fish pond.

I find that if I get monthly massages I am a much healthier person. Soaking in a warm tub is another thing I can do to lift my spirits. Taking a walk outdoors to soak in some fresh air - and fresh ideas - is another. Praying. Listening to classical music. Doodling in my journal. All of these things restock my pond of creativity. What about you?

What, if anything, prevents you from doing these things on a more regular basis?

April 12th - April is Alcohol Awareness Month, Autism Awareness Month, and Sexual Assault Awareness Month. So many things to be aware of! I've been thinking a lot lately about increasing my awareness of things around me.

What are tasks, people, relationships, or other things that you tend to take for granted, or ignore? How can you make yourself more aware? Why is that important? How has your lack of awareness harmed you in the past?

April 13th - This month is also Keep America Beautiful Month. Kahlil Gibran said, "Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart." and I rather agree. Have you ever seen someone who radiated a beautiful light from within? Describe them. What made them unique? What made them beautiful?

April 14th - What radiates from within you? Are you filled with joy? Peace? Light? Love? When things spill out of you, are they pleasant or distasteful to you?

April 15th - Looking back at yesterday's answer, how do you feel about that? I've often heard that it is what we fill ourselves with, that comes out when we are stressed or upset. If you find yourself coming out with attitudes you dislike, is it possible that you are partaking of things that reflect those harmful thoughts? What changes can you make in your mental diet?
