What is "inspiration" to you? If you were to look up the definition it would tell you that it is " a sudden feeling of enthusiasm, or a new idea that helps you to do or create something
". That's a text-book definition of the word, but to me it is so much more than that. Inspiration is a subjective feeling caused by objective interpretation of experiences, words, people and every little thing in my life that I come in contact with. I take NOTHING for granted. I see the world through the eyes of my children... every experience lived as if it was my first time. Most importantly, I choose never to give up.
How do you live each day? What inspires you?
