I’ve been lacking inspiration lately. Maybe it’s the grayness of the sun, or the snow-dried color of the cars passing me on the pot-holed streets. Maybe it’s the stir-craziness of the Snowpocalypse, or maybe it’s just me, but I have been very non-inspired, and I hate that.
A friend of mine’s gift certificate bought this book for me (thanks, Katie!) filled with questions to answer everyday for five years. You repeat the questions every year, and in five years, you have this marvelous book filled with all your wondrous answers. I love this idea. I am always going back to my old journal entries on certain days and just laughing at where I was way back when, and how much I’ve learned…and how much I still haven’t…So I’ve been writing in this book, excited to go to sleep because I get to fill out this book, and the other day, it asked, “What inspired you today?” And I literally drew a blank. I put in something mundane like, “reading a blog post today inspired me to do something”…but then it got me thinking that I want…no need… to be inspired every day. Even if it’s just a flower I see, or a cool sunset…something….For if I’m not inspired, what’s the point of all this? (PS – I do not recommend over-analyzing before bedtime!)
So, of course it took me a little longer to process it, but I started to think, I should carry a camera around in my big ass purse to take pictures of things that inspire me daily. (Carry a camera around because my Blackberry’s camera SUCKS, but that’s another story…) So in the effort of inspiring myself to get inspired, I am starting yet another new blog section called, “Daily Inspires”. So check it out. I hope to post something every day. Even if it’s something stupid like today’s post of my journal and my new book. I just like that picture cause I love writing and I love journals, and the picture looks cool…. So enjoy. Here it comes:
Daily Inspires: Dear Diary…
