Inspire me

Inspiration  can come from anything or anywhere; I was inspired watching Alexander Bilodeau win the 1st gold for Canada.  Likewise, a speach starting with "I have a dream",  or even something as simple as the determination of a crow cracking open a walnut inspires me. I've gathered my spark from a place that comes unexpected to me: my Mom. She is currently struggling with demetia. This lady has suffered through The Depression, child abuse, lack of education, and poverty. She has triumped over the death of her soul mate, the loss of all her siblings, and a battle with breast cancer. Between raising 4 children, 3900 hours of volunteer time and  a mountain of obligations, she has manage to enjoy life to it's fullest. Even now in her hole ridden brain she always has a smile. She's loving and generous with all she possesses. Looking after her is a proud moment in my life. I only hope I'll leave my children feeling the same.
