inspiring moments: determination

My first week of inspiring moments link party and moment sharing is finally here. This has been a long time coming of backward and forward thinking, contemplating and reflecting.

Reflecting on what I hope for, what inspires me, and what I hope to inspire my readers, you, with. And so, Inspiring Moments was born. Because it was only the other week that someone told me to enjoy the moment; reflect on the moment; and not get so caught up in the planning and control of life – which I  so often do.

I took a step back, I took a few breaths, and am now beginning a new journey of appreciating life in the moment, just that little more. Because there is so much there. And so often I think I miss the moments.

So inspiring moments for me this week are :

1. Determination – that I persisted in exploring what kind of Link Party I wanted to hold; what kind of community I wanted to create.

2. Persistance – as I look at my daughter I see her constant persistence in everything she does. She does not give up. She has a ‘fiery’ nature of constant determination and “I can do it” attitude. May she continue to have this beautiful strength within her and inspire others to do the same.

3. Strength – tomorrow she is going into surgery to have grommets put into her ears. Full surgery of being under anaesthetic and fasting from midnight tonight. She has amazing strength, but I think I am going to need even more strength tomorrow. But I know this strength and tough day is only going to lead to better things for my little girl…and us.
