Inspired By.

I feel like I haven't done one of these in awhile, but this week my schedule was normal for the first time in awhile, allotting plenty of time to catch on my daily reads and log them, too. I hope you enjoy these as much as I have. Despite how hectic and crazed I've felt this fall, I am still reminded overwhelmed with gratitude when I check my twitter or read my blog comments or peruse my favorite blogs every day. I have found a community of people that are encouraging and challenging and honest. What more could I ask for as a writer in such great company? Thank you.

"The body is naturally buoyant. By lifting your head out of the water and remembering to simply breathe, you’ll be able to float much better." The same is true for writing and blogging.

What are your three things? Take 20 minutes and let this change your day.

Any excuse for a cup of coffee and a good conversation.

"The unforgettable bicycle of Shakespeare." A wonderful story of learning and survival.

The Muppets : commies or inspiring artists? I think I will go with the latter.

After reading this post, this post, and this post, I want to read this book.

"The world has your hands, but the deepest parts of you belong to something else." For this reason, be sure to rest this weekend.

Did you discover any good reads this week? Do share.

And a poem on gratitude.
