Only when I create for the sake of creating, really just being in the process. If I attach it to an outcome I am usually disappointed. <br /><br />And the same with parenting. Many times I just feel completely overwhelmed about the never ending responsibilities. It's only when I step into the moment with her, and just be there, in that moment, not thinking about how would rather be alone and have some peace and quiet, just being there - going with her into that little moment, that's where the energy comes from - for that moment. And then it ends and it is OK, because he had a pocket in our day where we had a great time, and that is enough, and it takes the pressure off being happy and energized all the time. I am rambling now, but the short answer would be - to be in the moment. It has made parenting so much more enjoyable.
