Fill in the blank

Today’s action is a blank canvas, inspiration rather than instruction, an open invitation to be creative. So it would be rather ironic to tell you what to do beyond suggesting you choose a way to be creative.

If you lack inspiration you could let your creativity flourish through words, drawing, moulding, cooking, in a meeting, or anything else. Don’t let us limit you.

Whatever it is, make sure you take time to be creative today!
