I, too, play guitar and sing at church. I have a 12-string Martin.<br /><br />To answer your question, I am inspired to do what I do every day; write, tend to my little ranch, and support the local art center, because they all bring me such joy. I love stories, my animals, and theatre.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-29641191620432031442012-03-16T18:33:16.269-04:002012-03-16T18:33:16.269-04:00My pleasure, Maggie, come back and see us!My pleasure, Maggie, come back and see us!Donnell Ann Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943037206984648849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-65085291631579192732012-03-16T13:44:33.497-04:002012-03-16T13:44:33.497-04:00Excellent question, Maggie.

The sun reflecting on my stained glass projects, undiscovered hiking trails, writing that perfect chapter, and the encouragement from my critique group and family and friends inspires me to keep doing what I love to do, even when I'd like to stretch out with a good book and a cup of tea.Carole Pricehttp://carolepricemysteries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-85317818234764015482012-03-16T12:13:47.730-04:002012-03-16T12:13:47.730-04:00Hope to read this soon!

I understand that now parents can't trust Disney movies or the Disney TV channel anymore. I've heard the kids portrayed are rude to their parents and others. Such a shame.

Who inspires me? I'd have to say my friends, who pop up to show a little support when I least expect it, and probably most need it. Also, remembering each day is one you can never get back helps keep me on track.

Spending time with friends and family is important and so is how you conduct yourself on the journey of life.<br /><br />We make choices each day, and we can choose to be happy or to live in fear. Choosing to be happy, I think, really adds to your quality of life.<br /><br />I'm so happy you stopped by!<br /><br />MaggieMaggie Toussainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011893139722870283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-90337640211199592672012-03-15T19:33:08.328-04:002012-03-15T19:33:08.328-04:00What inspired me to do what I love (with the peopl...What inspired me to do what I love (with the people I love) is a sense of mortality.
