Me? Really? Well, then you too!!!

I was recently told I was inspiring, by more than one person. For more than one reason. That humbled me. I don't feel inspiring. I'm a typical mom living the average middle-income life. I drive an older, not fully loaded Honda Pilot, we buy groceries at Sam's club & Albertson's depending which has the better sales. Clothing will be purchased from Swap meet, thrift stores, to Target or Khols, if we have coupons. I sew, so I can alter (love that! And to this day am grateful to my ex-mother in-law for teaching me the basics). I cook mostly from scratch because I hate what soy does to my system and it's in everything! I run so I don't yell as often when the kids  aren't being angelic (that can be hourly!!). I also run to prove to myself daily that I'm not limited due to asthma. I had doctors tell me I'd never run. (Neener neener!). But really, I'm just doing what needs to be done. If my doing my beat, which some days means everyone had clean socks and breakfast, is inspiring. Then yay for making another person see how well they too can be themselves, and then they can inspire others. So go. Be inspiring. If I can do it, anyone can!!

YOU INSPIRE ME!!! I may not say it enough! The fact that you are raising 4 incredible kids...the journey you took to raise them, losing one, divorce, single motherhood and then finding the love of your life - all while keeping your sanity THAT ALONE is INSPIRING! Then the fact that you CHOOSE to RUN for health and to keep your self sane is again INSPIRING! I for one and BLESSED by YOU! I watch you and take notes on how you parent and live your life! I watch you and learn from you...and I believe because of you I have become a better person! I may not say it enough...but you are a HERO in my life...someone I look up to and someone I am fully inspired by! So never ever say that you are JUST YOU cause to me you are so much more than that! You are like a SUPER HERO in my eyes...and I am HONORED to call you my friend! Love ya girl!
