Saw this on Vera's blog and I decided to do it.
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages). "The Best Year of Your Life" by Debbie Ford
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the 5th sentence.
4. Post the next 3 sentences.
"So many of us have wasted so much of our vital energy talking about the great life we could have or will have or should have. All that is fine, but it will not deliver us the best year of our lives. It won't motivate us or anyone else, and it certainly won't give us the success and fulfillment we long for."
That was fun....VERY interesting too....hmmm.

12th Idea of Inspiration
Donate to a favorite charity.
Every so often an organization will send out these bright colored postcards asking for donations.
I have donated before and they make it so easy too. You just bag up your donations and tape this card to them, set them on your front porch & they will come by to pick it up from your house.
You do not have to do much & it makes a difference to so many people. Just donate your clothing, shoes, and the like. This came at a good time b/c I was able to clean out my closet and help at the same time.
In the past 4 years I have become much more active in my community by donating my time (mostly time) and money to various causes. March of Dimes, Race for the Cure, Leukemia & Lymphona Society, Cystic Fibrosis Fdtn, Habitat for Humanity, Humane Society, and some others.
Often you hear that the person donating their time gets just as much as the person or organization they are helping. I can say that is ABSOLUTELY true!
It is by far a very rewarding and heartwarming experience.
If you are considering helping or donating please look into your heart and you will find the direction to the organization that means the most to you. Anything you do will not go unwarranted.
Happy Inspiring & Volunteering!!

10th Idea for Inspiration
Grab a power nap.
BOYYYYYYY!! Did that feel Gooooooooood!!!
I have not taken a nap in the middle of the afternoon since I don't know when...I have been missing out! This felt wonderful & I guess I really needed it.
It was not planned, just happened. I was going to read the paper but I laid down on the bed - turned the TV on and before long I was huggin' my pillow! LOL!
I highly recommend it from time to time to everyone!

9th Idea for Inspiration
Swap music.
Well, this was modified to "burn music". I visited my girlfriend in Austin today & it was a good time! We laughed, talked, & listened to music (which both of us really love!!)
She was kind enough to burn 6 discs for me!! Something new to feed my taste for a new vibe, Ruthie Foster, & then some oldie but goodies from her personal collection that she lovingly entitles "Lova Undacova"!! (Its some GREAT sh*%!!)
Music is a big passion of mine & I always am inspired & moved by it!! Thanks chica!! It was great to spend some time with you....see ya' in 2 weeks (wink-wink!!)

Friday Fill In
Thanks Kelly for the idea!!
1. I'm looking forward to & alittle anxious about starting school in the summer.
2. Paris is a place I've always wanted to visit and haven't made it there yet.
3. I've fallen in love with ME!! I LOVE & value ME!!
4. Six of one, 1/2 dozen of the other. (not sure what this one was about?)
5. Addiction: Junior Mints
6. The way my dogs run around n' play with each other cracks me up!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to taking a shower after this, getting in my jammies, getting comfy on the sofa & watching a movie. Tomorrow my plans include taking a day trip to visit my girlfriend in Austin and Sunday go to church in the morning, reading the paper, relaxing, and then in the evening going to a church group meeting. The 1st meeting is Sunday & its for 6-8 weeks. I'm going to join this church.
