This antique aspirin tin came from a beloved friend.
The faded patina of green and brown soothes my heart..
The glitter recently put into it makes it full of magic...
We need things in our lives that add magic..Yard sales..New art supplies..New crayons..New material..A leaf in the shape of a heart..
Magazines that give us ideas.
I have notebooks full of ideas and quotes that I collect. Ideas for projects I want to do. Pages torn from magazines with ideas for home improvement.
I collect color samples that I want to use to paint each room and put them into my idea notebooks.
One picture can inspire me to change a whole room.
I look for ideas everywhere...
I look for inspiration in nature and also from people.
There are so many wonderful blogs that inspire me. Everyone who leaves a comment, that has a blog, I visit. And I always find something on every single site that is an inspiration..
Look for your inspiration today..It is out there.

See? All I have to do is come by here and be inspired - you are so wonderful. (HUGS)
Such a wonderful inspiration. I like the tin with glitter, it makes me smile. Do you know, it probably takes a whole year of going through all the holidays and all the personal events before a person really begins their journey of healing. In a year's time you will have experienced everything at least once. Life runs in cycles and so does our healing process. We gather strength as we move through those cycles. Patience as you do all of us good too.
Hugs and Blessings
I come to your blog for inspiration. You are a strong woman with a big heart and that always makes me want to inspire to be like you.
Hugs,
Joanne

This is really an inspirational post! You do have a keen eye and thought, Nita.
inspiration is a funny thing...it can lift our spirits and make us want to share the sweetness of life with others...YOU are an inspiration in how you open your world for all of us to experience your thoughts and it is good to be around such realness...and of course you take amazing pictures that always accompany nicely with your words...just enough "magic" to give one a bond to your blog.
have a sweet day ~
your inspirational magic is such a wonderful idea...makes me look at things differently...
thanks,
Mimi

Hi Nita. I linked over from Thrifty Miss Priss. I lost my first husband in 1995. I was 32 and my babies were 4 and 1. As you said earlier, to our dismay we discover that life goes on. But eventually, we do too. I am sending you best wishes and hugs. I think it is wonderful that you are connecting with other people- it is so important.
Love the post and thanks for the video link. Love her voice, beautiful song.
