Inspiration, part 78

This might be my favorite subject of all times.

One never knows when they are going to be inspired and determined to rid themselves of the nasty feelings inside for more lighter and brighter ones. It literally can happen at any given moment. Usually, there is a reason (a person, place or thing) for the feeling of "Okay, I can do this" to capture your heart. And sometimes, its just that feeling of being sick of the stupid voices in your head that will push you into a positive momentum.

This is a combination of both.

Plus, Evan goes back to school tomorrow, which means that Blake goes back the following week, and everyone knows that structure and I go waaaay back. Structure is my BFF. I don't think I'm alone in this, although everyone I talk to says 'it's too soon to go back to school' or 'I'm not ready for summer to be over.'


I want to hit these people.

Am I ready to start fighting with Evan over grades, no, but at least it's not about who gets the xBox next and for how long. I know that Fall isn't going to bring that world peace feeling I'm longing for, but at least I won't be battling the guilt of leaving my kids at home while I work all summer. So at least I have that going for me.

Tonight, I finally picked up Anna Quindlen's Lot's of Candles, Plenty of Cake probably because I was internally seeking some inspiration, and clearly, she doesn't disappoint. After the first two pages, I literally thought to myself, why am I not writing about all this crazy stuff in my head. Surely there is someone who can relate with me?

Anyone?

But it really doesn't matter if no one replies, because I know you're out there. And even if it's not about summer ending, there's something else going on in your life, and it's just nice to know that we're all going through some sort of challenge.

We need to stick together at times like this.

And we definitely need our inspiration.
