This is where I write my thoughts, feelings and my daily trials, tribulations and happy things

| PROMPT July 5th Tell us about someone you find inspirational. I’m sure all of you have an amazing well known personality you’d love to emulate. Celebrities however just don’t do it for me, I like to surround myself with people who I admire who put themselves last to make other’s lives better. I wish I could say that I’m one of those but I know I’m too selfish. I do however check in on neighbours to see if they’re going okay. I suppose if we all did what we could for our immediate friends, family and close neighbours there wouldn’t be a need for so many charitable organisations. Anyway in the process of checking in on my elderly neighbour, Margaret, I found the person who inspires me the most. I’ve offered to write her life story, it’s been an amazing one. She was one of the first females in Australia to study physiotherapy. During the polio epidemic of the 1950’s she worked with hundreds of children to get them out of their iron lungs and back on their feet. She gives me inspiration to keep up my fitness. She says we owe it to ourselves to stay as healthy as possible. Everyday she goes for a walk, even if it’s pouring with rain. She also, at eighty-eight years of age, still goes to a yoga class every week, doing daily practice at home. She’s a member of a choir, still goes to music concerts, and is the only one in her group of friends who still drives. Of course she’s the person they all count on to get them to doctor appointments or to the airport on time. I rarely need to buy any books as I can rely on Margaret to fill me in on the latest best reads when she passes them on to me. I tell her often she’s my greatest inspiration. |
