Inspiration! What inspires you? I have learned that I can be who ever I want to be. So I have chosen to be inspiration. Being an activity director for my residents, I get to inspire people all day, and what is wonderful is that they inspire me as well. I have grown attached to these wonderful people. One of my residents who I adored died recently, I miss her, but I thank God for having the opportunity to know her. I asked her once, my 94 year old friend, If you could share one thing your have learned in your life to inspire others, what would that be? Her answer was " even at my age I am still learning" she got the biggest kick out of that.
I am inspired everyday, what is weird is for some reason the wind inspires me so, I call her the wind goddess, and she helps me to bring me back to the now. I see her blowing through the trees and it is almost an reminder "Lauren, just be." Sometimes when I feel her brush by it is almost like a kiss on the cheek, and I stop just to feel her. I love life, and I adore nature. Nature, music, people, I can't believe how much the world inspires me. To think that when I was 20 years old, or even 30 I had no idea that I would be here feeling the way I do.
"oh, what a wonderful world"
So, what is the answer to my question. What inspires you?
Lauren
