Inspirations


I've been away from blogging for quite a while.. 3 years or so. I got caught up in life and doing other things. I don't think the things I did instead were better and I"d like to get back to a place where I take some time to be productive and not get caught up in doing what everyone else is doing. Theres so much technology with texting and facebook that I think we've lost the written word. No one writes letters or notes anymore. Its convenient to text your friend, girlfriend or family but theres something special about getting a card, note or letter in the mail that means so much to you that you put it in your keepsake box. We don't do that anymore. We hit delete, erase and clean everything up for more space on our phones.
I thought I'd start by telling you about some of my resent inspirations. I had totally forgotten I even blogged until a friend told me she started doing it. She shared her blog with me and I really am enjoying getting to take a peak into her world. I feel special that she shared it with me. She has inspired me to start putting my thoughts down again. I think it will be extremely therapuetic for me. Doing this leads me to another inspiration.. my son Gordon. He's 4 now. I have no idea where the time has gone but he has certainly changed our life. He's smart, caring , polite and so many other things. He loves music of all type and its so sweet to hear him sing and try and make up songs of his own. We recently found out that Gordon was PDD NOS which is an Autism Spectrum Disorder. We were completely blind sided by it. It was extremely hard for us as parents at first.. and still is.. but I'm really inspired by him. He inspires me to be more excepting.. to stop and have patience to realise that so many things in this world don't matter. He needs me to change and help him and in the end I think we will both have helped each other.
Charlotte.. oo my sweet Charlotte.. shes a mover and a shaker.. shes my almost 11 month old. I am truly blessed to have her. She inspires me to be a better woman. To set a good example of what she can grow up to be. These are just a few of the things that inspire me lately.
