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.
What YOU said! We must be kindred spirits of sorts...!
:0)
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,

Well one thing that inspires me is YOU! :)
