"I" ... I ... ai ya yai! My "I" word... hmmm... Integrity is a very good word. But so is imagination. However... I decided on Inspiration.
Please don't get me wrong, integrity is a wonderful word. It says so much. The commitment of standing by one's moral and artistic values; and where would we be without imagination? Disneyland would definitely not exist that's for sure! What a thought! A world without Disneyland... so happy Walt believed in himself, followed his dreams and never gave up ... no matter what he was told.
This last year... the last 307 days to be exact, have been a true inspiration to me and for me. Each day being inspired by the previous one. It's as if the previous day was providing fuel for the next.
Bottom line, this thing called Inspiration has given me strength, it has built "me" up, and has also taught me quite a bit along the way.

This is coming full circle as you are surely an inspiration to me and I'm guessing to others as well.
Thanks so much for sharing.
The beach is such an inspiration...must be the fresh air and natural beauty.
