Inspiration isn't always easy to find. I find myself too busy to write and I suppose to busy to listen. As I passed one of the local churches on my way to taxi the kids to school I read the marque. It read, 'I plan on living forever...so far so good'. It made me laugh. I enjoy reading the marque, actually look forward to what witty thing it might say next. I am curious about the person behind the messages. Another day it read, 'Can vegetarians eat animal crackers'? My son, Wyatt, was asking this question as we drove and I thought it was another one of his jokes, he has a great sense of humor and marvelous timing. He finally fessed up that he had read it on the marque and ever since we have paid attention as we drive by. Thank you to the marque message maker at the Hilltop church...you have made one person's day a little bit lighter.
I also follow a writer,Mary DeMuth, who inspires me for a variety of reasons. She recently reminded me to take the time to find joy in my life by making a list of things that make me truly happy. I had already done this, so I revisited my list again confirming those simple things that lighten my heart and bring out my smile. My list can be found here on my blog, I call it, Pockets of Sunshine. I would like to challenge you to complete this sentence. 'I am happiest when...'
Yesterday I saw a rainbow amidst the dark rain clouds...today I found a moment to write...my kindergartner had his 'send off'...another moves on to middle school...my husband made me smile...and the song keeps playing...~K
