Beautiful Things Come From Fiery Trials

You know, it could be how Van Gogh created so many masterpieces, but my best, most inspired pieces did not come out of happy-go-lucky sparks of insight, but were created out of the depths of low bouts of depression. Whether it was to express how I felt, or to have an outlet, those darker moments were turned into something rather beautiful. For example, today I was starting to feel really down. So you know what I did? I cooked myself the best dang crab alfredo I've ever tasted in my life. Just eating it makes me wanna dance.
  So, I thought I'd post some of the work I've created during my low moments. Most of these pieces are some of my most favorites I've ever done. Basically, I hope that you can also find the beautiful, majestic, even sacred things that come from trials.

I tried to download a song I composed as well...but my computer is having issues. So, if you're interested, go to my other blog: loveeverysandwich.blogspot.com, go to the month of February, and go to the post called "Creating."
