Inspiration

There are a rare and humble few
that go about their lives
doing what they do
Getting by as best they can
they are less than perfect
humans I can understand
I see the obstacles
they have conquered
and then I believe I can
do it too
I may not move a mountain
but a change I detect
has occurred
I’m feeling something new
I’m a better me
for knowing you

I feel the same way.
Even through cyber space I'm a better me from reading you.
Very nice Lori, straight up and open, no complications just a pleasant positive outlook.

Love it.

Eric

Anytime someone is feeling better about themselves, is a time to rejoice, Lori.

Feeling better is always a wonderful experience, and if feeling better is because of someone else ... it's simply fantastic!

enjoyed...

This is straight from the heart
and I believe I know where it stemmed
from, as the end of the year is about
to occur, and you always get sentimental
about your kids.

If you call forth the best in me and I call forth the best in you,there is nothing we can't do together. jo

Inspiration is where you find it. Grab onto it. I went digging for this old one, it just touched me.

I think you have a very good philosophy, Lori, in trying to better yourself.
