This is a list of people and things that inspire me:
1 – I inspire myself…I don’t want that to sound cocky or self-centered, but I have to be my own best inspiration because I am the one getting things done and never giving up. Sometimes I am really proud of myself for accomplishing and sticking with my goals.
2 – My father has been an inspiration in my life even though he died 34 years ago. He was in the US Navy during WWII. He was in a submarine stationed in the south Pacific and he actually used his older brother’s birth certificate to enlist because he wasn’t old enough. He came home and put himself through college and got an MBA. That is inspirational!!!!
3 – Women of all ages who work on their fitness and have success. I love stories of girls/women who took it upon themselves to become fit and work hard at it. Those stories are inspirational to me…I feel if they can do it, so can I.
4 – Homeless/abused/handicapped animals…this may sound strange, but when I see those videos and stories of animals who were unloved and abused or have a handicap and then, after love and care, blossom and have a happy life…there is nothing better. They have everything going against them, but they can still wag their tail. Talk about trust and unconditional love.

5 – The blogging community…when I started blogging in July, I never thought I’d find such a supportive, helpful, inspirational community. I get great ideas and support every day. It’s a wonderful thing.
6 – My son…he is the most empathetic, caring, trusted person that I know. He always thinks of others including animals who are less fortunate. I just about never have to worry about him breaking rules whether I am present or not. He knows when to stay away from trouble and has a great sense of humor. He inspires me to be a heatlhier, happier person so that I will be around a long time to be around him.

Thank you Cynthia…you are one of my inspirations:) Thank you for being my blogging BFF:)
This was a much better list than what I made. Mine wasn’t very well thought out, now that I’m reading yours.
Thank you, but don’t sell yourself short…you are participating and writing every day…You are doing a great job:)
I agree that you have to be your own champion to succeed in life. It’s great you have so many others in your life that you look up to and keep you motivated.
Thank you Erica

Beautiful post. My daughter too inspires me a lot. I am a much better person today because of her, especially more patient 🙂
Children are some of our greatest accomplishments and inspirations.
Very inspirational post! Thanks to your father for his service. If he never served, I wouldn’t have had a chance to have a successful career in the Army either. 🙂
Thank you Antonio….thank you for your service too.
Your inspirations are so inspiring. love them!
I particularly was drawn to handicapped animals and thought “That’s so true”!
Thank you Maryrose…I cry at all those Facebook videos about animals
