I am inspired

Along the way I have discovered inspiration often comes where you least expect it.

I heard a great line in the movie Love Happens, something to do with the fact that you can't move forward if you are always looking in the rearview mirror. Cliche yes, but I like it. I'm going to try to head that advise. I have seen a few too many movies lately with such inspiring fodder. Go figure - Motherhood, Julie and Julia and Love Happens. I watched, I cried, I got psyched. The fact is we make our own destiny, and hopefully with some support along the way, we can keep on track.

Last night I made my chicken soup (will have it for our Wednesday rush rush dinner) and cooked an awesome meal of chile garlic drumsticks and beef and broccoli - served with steamed rice. Yum. It feels great to get a meal like that on the table for my family. Then it was off to parent council at my kids school. I sometimes wonder why I can't just sit back at keep my mouth shut, but I don't get it. How can there be so much hoopla and politics about getting good things done for your kids. I came home exhausted. It was nice to get support, but it would be nicer if it was at the meeting - not just privately after the meeting.
