What Inspires Me

Joy asked us to write a short list of the things that inspired us during her workshop.  She suggested that we list things outside of the box, then we were to share one.  I starred the one I shared but as I was writing this list I couldn’t stop and I thought this had to be a blog post.

I encourage you to sit and spend a few minutes to write down the things that inspire you.  The things that move your soul.  The things in life that make you think, reflect, that make you remember, and keep you going and hold onto that list to be inspired all over again.

• Airport running kind of love
• The way the sun feels on my skin (when it’s not scalding hot)
• The way a soft breeze feels when the temperature is perfect
• How warm it was under the blankets when my mom would open them for me to jump in
• Paris’ excitement when I walk in the door
• Winks from charming old men
• Winks in general
• Old couples, it means they grew old together
• The band Parachute
• Clouds
• Hand kisses
• Endearing nicknames
• Twitterpatted excitement of a new relationship
• Antiques because they are old, worn, and loved items
• Relationships
• A relationship that honors the Lord
• Anticipation until you see him or her again
• The smell of babies (when they are clean)
• Strong driven people who never give up
• The feeling of protection
• The feeling you get when you just want to dance or jump up and down
• Unexpected wonderful surprises
• Knowing that the feeling is mutual
• When a little one reaches for you or gets excited to see you
• Baby smiles
• Chivalry, no matter what age or circumstance
• My parents relationship
• God’s truth
• Possibilities

Diana Elizabeth is inspired by relationships most of all.  That’s why she loves photography.
