What Inspires me?

There are many things that inspire me as well as many people. My mother has always inspired me to follow my dreams. My sisters say that writing is my gift. My husband has encouraged me and has inspired me to keep writing stories and on all of my blogs. My husband, mother and my sisters, I think all read my blogs. I have four that I maintain and it is those times when I can step back and really think, escape or share my beliefs, hopes, dreams and my imagination. However, there are many other things that inspire me. Things like hearing someone say something funny, sad or profound. Seeing the break of day, a night sky full of stars, the birth of a puppy, or a newborns cry, these things inspire me as well. Snowing falling, rain an sun streaming through threes these are all God's handy work and are inspiring. Most of the time my inspiration comes from the way I feel about a person, a particular situation or something that has happened in my life. It sometimes comes from the need to know that my writing my possibly help some one else over come a hurdle in their life. My dreams have inspired me for years as well as the goals I set for myself. There have been times in the last year that I felt I should give up, and I recently wrote about it. A very good friend told me not to give up, to be strong. So that is what I'm doing while I wait for my next inspiration. May God Bless you all. L

Mother/Daughter Time

On Saturday, my daughter, Caity and I spent half the day together. It was fun. We were in Greenville and they had some exotic animals there. I have some photos of a tiger.. He didn't seem real happy and I will try to add them to the blog. We also went shopping for a baby shower gift for our friend Blair... It was fun and neither one of us can wait until we can pick out baby stuff for what will be my grandchild... hopefully some time in the near future. Like a good mom, after shopping I paid for lunch from Taco Bell. It was just a good time.

Tonight, my mom called and we spent over an hour on the phone talking. It was good, much laughing and having trouble remembering and laughing cause we can't read or remember things anymore. I love the time I spend with my mom, and my daughter. I love them both munches... Oh BTW, munches is a new word I created. It stands for saying I love you this much and I love you bunches..May God bless you continually... L
