I always forget for sure, but I think the left side of the brain is the logical side, and the right is the creative side. Growing up I was way far to the right and stayed that way until I went to work full time.  All of a sudden I was using the analytical functions on a daily basis and it became easier and easier.  I was great at thinking outside of the box, but thinking inside the box was working okay, too. 

I took one of those online quizzes that determines which side of the brain you most hail from and I was surprised to find that I was just to the right of center.  Who knew?  That was a hand full of years ago, and the day job isn't any less challenging to the left, but when I'm not working the right goes into overtime. 

I write and read, crochet and draw.  It's almost like it's saying "let me out of here, will ya?"  I do my most creative cooking after a long day of analysis.  My spouse hates it - because it doesn't always work.  But I keep trying and sometimes it does.  It's like writing stories, the first draft is seldom as good as the 3rd or 5th or 10th.  You have to keep practicing to get better. Scary thought...physicians practice medicine. 

Write on my friends and enjoy,
