Encouraging Lifelong Learning as Seasons Change
My mother once reflected: “I realized I spent the autumn looking forward to the Holiday Season. Then I spent the holidays looking forward to slower pace of January. January and February I looked forward to Spring; Spring I wished for the Summer. And then I realized I spent so much time looking forward to something I wasn’t enjoying now. I have to remind myself to enjoy life right now.”
Have you ever noticed how the seasons remind us that change is part of life? The trees don’t fight it — they simply bloom, grow, and rest when it’s time. Just like nature, we go through our own seasons too. And one of the most beautiful parts of growing into yourself is realizing that every new season can bring something new to learn about yourself.
Creativity Has No Expiration Date
Many people believe creativity belongs to the young — to those who paint, design, or build for a living. Or to children. All preschool children will tell you they are creative. And then we go to school . . . But the truth is, creativity still lives inside all of us. It’s not about being perfect or professional. It’s about expressing who you are in a way that feels real and joyful.
Whether it’s mosaic art, gardening, cooking, or decorating a room, your creative side is always waiting for you to open the door again. It doesn’t matter if it’s been years since you made something with your hands. What matters is that spark inside — the curiosity that whispers, “What if I tried this?”
Each Season Brings Its Own Inspiration
As the air cools and leaves begin to change, we’re reminded that endings make way for new beginnings. Fall, especially, is a wonderful time to slow down, reflect, and begin something fresh.
Maybe summer’s energy (and pace) has faded, and you’re ready to curl up indoors with a warm drink and your Pinterest boards. Try exploring color palettes inspired by autumn leaves — rich golds, deep reds, forest greens. Let the rhythm of the season guide your creativity.
Like the world outside, we, too, evolve and grow. The creative spark you discover now might look different from what used to inspired you— but that’s the beauty of it. You’re drawing and creating from a lifetime of experiences.
Learning Keeps Us Young
Picking up a new hobby or learning a creative skill does more than fill your time — it keeps your mind sharp and your heart open. It refocuses your attention away from the chaos of the world to its beauty. When you challenge yourself to try something new, your brain makes fresh connections, your confidence grows, and your stress melts away. And with time, mosaic practice reshapes the spatial areas of your brain as well.
Mosaic art, for example, teaches patience, mindfulness, and the beauty of small things. You learn to let go of perfection and trust the process — one tile at a time. Each piece becomes part of something bigger and more beautiful, just like the moments of your life.
Start Small, Dream Big
You don’t need to know where to start or what you’ll make. Simply begin. Gather a few colorful tiles, set aside a little time, and let your hands do the thinking. The joy is in the process — the way your worries fade as you focus on the Zen nature of the shapes, textures, and colors in front of you.
Over time, you’ll notice how this creative habit spills into other areas of your life — helping you see possibilities instead of limits, beauty instead of routine.
The Season for You
So as the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, give yourself permission to begin again. Creativity isn’t about age. It’s about the heart. It’s about seeing the world — and yourself — with fresh eyes.
You are never too old, too busy, or too late to discover your creative side. This season, let your imagination lead the way.
