PROMPT July 5th Tell us about someone you find inspirational. Good prompt for today. This one is both very difficult and very easy all at the same time. Easy because throughout my life I have found inspiration in a lot of different people. And difficult because there are so many! But when I think of inspiration my family immediately comes to mind. And that's because they have always been the first people I look to for inspiration, aspiration, and motivation. Each one has inspired my life in a different way: 1. My dad who taught me that family is always first. Unless your family is taken care of you will never make progress. So take care of them first. 2. My mom who taught me to love the arts, and music, and language, and culture. 3. My brother, Jim, who taught me the greatest happiness is found in the innocence of a child. 4. My sister, Judy, who taught me that family should never break apart, no matter what. 5. My brother, Marty, who taught me the importance of logic and safety and to never take things for granted. 6. My brother, Mike, who taught me the importance of education and to never stop learning. 7. My brother, John, who taught me to be self-sufficient and always look for another solution. 8. My husband, Bret, who taught me to see things from a different perspective, because not everything is as it seems. 9. My daughter, Jennifer, who taught me to just let people be who they are and to never stop loving. And of course, my nieces and nephews and cousins and everybody else in my giant family, who taught me what family is and how it extends to all places in the world. Sure, lots of people have inspired me. And I love and respect each one who entered my life and taught me the lesson I needed at just the right time. But it's my family - those closest to me - that have taught me the most. And I believe they have inspired me the most. |
