As I was going about my day I thought it would be interesting to keep a journal and write down everything that made me feel inspired and how it inspired me. I didn’t think I would stick with it very long but to my surprise I did. What I learned from this little experiment was priceless. I thought I would share my “inspirations” with you.

What inspires you? Have you ever tried to write down everything that inspires you through out the day? I am still amazed at the ordinary.
You truly do inspire me to stop, think, evaluate and enjoy all the things that come my way. I was just sharing with a customer who said she was making goals today how you made your list of things that you wanted to accomplish this coming year. I shared how I was going to take some time this weekend to do the same….and she said “That is a great idea, I always take time to make a list but have never really included anything fun or new that I could try!” So you were not only able to encourage me, but some one whom you don’t even know gained inspiration from you. Have a blessed day Laura!
Oh I love that you were sharing with other people. I saw that you are going to try to read a few classics this year. Which oddly enough inspired me to do the same. I am currently reading Pride and Prejudice. I don’t typically like to read classics (I feel like I am back in school) but I usually enjoy them. I just have to get past page 100 first. I found that by listening to them while I am doing chores it makes both things much more pleasant. I actually find myself waiting to do both of those things.
