    What inspires me? I think I remember this post...

    The scent of honeysuckle, cherry blossoms indicating the melting of winter into spring, a starry night, my daughter's giggle, her smile, her sometimes unexpected generosity, watching her grow, a good hair day, a friend of ours who's experience more evil than anyone deserves yet still continues on, a particluarly yummy meal, a good song, beautiful music, a good book, a good movie, a funny TV show, and at times, my own writing.

    And, at the risk of sounding...whatever...you. No joke. <3

    Love your list! I'd add:

    laughter
    smiles
    rain
    architecture

    The ocean, sunset, katydids, patience, and words that dig so deep I can feel them.

    I too am inspired by my own frustration...love for family and friends, complex situations, long hot baths, a good book or movie, driving out in the country where pretty scenery abounds.

    My grandchildren snuggling under a comforter with me...book in hand

    The sounds of a gentle rain

    The full moon over the sea

    A blank sheet in my sketchbook

    The laughter of children

    Birdson

    Great music

    A patchwork quilt, which is the history of a woman

    My friend surmounting ovarian cancer

    Fireflies

    The aroma of a blueberry cobbler baking

    Dewy spiderwebs spangling my garden

    Seedlings pushing through the soil

    Dragonflies dancing above the pond

    Fat pumpkins

    ....and so much more.

    Love,
