Inspiration/Motivation

[Daphne]

At initial glance I didn't see a post for inspiring things, so thought I'd start a collection of them here. I actually have a feed on my Facebook of motivational things, beautiful places etc. They help lighten the mood some and get through the day. Sometimes it even puts things in perspective. Sometimes it empowers.

So here's an article an artist friend shared from Calvin & Hobbes creator (and a favorite artist of mine) Bill Watterson. Starts off with a quote from him that I felt was very relevant:

"Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement."

And more motivational and/or inspirational posts to come. If any of you have any you'd like to share here, feel free.

Thanks so much for this, Daphne. I'm gonna show this to my husband. He often gets down and depressed because his job isn't 'good enough'. I think this might help brighten his day.
