On this day of giving thanks for the graces we have that allow us to exist and to live so well, I want to count among those blessings the fact that I live in a very interesting and creative area of the country, and that the future of this area will continue to be bright if we appreciate and support the creative community that makes the vitality of our area possible. I know many people would consider that the artistic community may be in many ways frivolous in light of people losing jobs, livelyhoods and their homes, however, this community has many times over proven that creativity is recession proof and is an economic powerhouse that when nurtured properly, will yield dividends beyond measure.
