Inspiration

We all need inspiration in our lives. It's easy to forget to look for ways and places to inspire ourselves but it's something that we should all do, daily even.

What is inspiration to you? To me, it's something that lifts me high and encourages me to see the highest good. It's something that lets the trivial stuff melt away. It is something that helps clarify what is really important in life.

I think that there are some really cool places to find inspiration but that the best inspiration comes from people and their deeds.

Just yesterday, my husband came back from the video store all happy. Being the nerd that he is, he was disappointed that he didn't have the ll cents he needed to not break a five dollar bill. The cashier saw this and reached into his own pocket and tossed the ll cents into the register. How cool! And reassuring. And inspiring.

Here are some people, places and books that inspire me. I hope they inspire you as well.
