Feeling inspired is tough some times. Even if I have no problem feeling some sort of inspiration 6 days a week, it doesn't matter. One moment of feeling less than excited about life is no bueno. I am an inspiration junky. Enough is never enough. I always want more, more more. Learning, observing, analyzing, thinking, thinking thinking...that's what I do. But on a day like today where the sky is pure white, the air is turning frigid, and all of the to-do's on my list are done, I feel the only place I belong is on my couch with the TV turned to some mindless HGTV show (House Hunters!). This is one of those days that I must turn to one of my short cuts. My little trip down memory lane that instantly brings me back...way back.

Here's one of my fave scenes...
