Inspiration!

What have you been inspired by lately?



Always inspired by my sweet little girl
and my big kids too and their sweet, helpful ways. 
Inspired by  Mr. Tennis's quick recovery from hip replacement,
though hoping he is not planning on riding his motor scooter or horse
anytime soon!! 
Did you hear that honey - the doc said no scooter or horse riding until at least 2013!

Beautiful flowers and photos always inspire me.
  Lovely homes inspire me to declutter --
but the clutter in my house often overwhelms me
 (where to start??  what to throw out??)
 so then I turn to . . .
chocolates!

I've been inspired by chocolates! 
Do you believe it?? 

Loving Dove* chocolates lately!!
Very, very smooth texture and so sweet and so chocolaty! 
Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea or water. 
Doesn't that sound yummy!?

Besides their divine favor,
I love the inspirational messages inside the Dove* chocolates.  

Who knew -- words of wisdom from chocolates?
My faves:
Chocolate is a gift of love
Shut out the world for just one moment. 
Be good to yourself today. 
Too much of a good thing is wonderful.
Clear your mind and enjoy this moment. 
Laugh whenever possible.

So, I really must
continue eating the chocolates
if only for inspiration purposes!
Don't you agree??  :)

Oh yes, I've always found chocolate a great source of inspiration, or maybe it's energy..especially since I like it dark and chased it with a frapppucino...hmm. She is such a pretty little girl!

Maddy is so precious. I'm overwhelmed with work right now. Chocolate sounds safer than that glass of wine I'm craving.

Gail said...

Well I for one have NOT been inspired to blog or even take many photos...hoping it doesn't last long.

You've inspired me though with your beautiful portraits of Miss Maddy. And chocolate sounds like the perfect sweet to end the day.

hugs,
Gail
