People need to stop inspiring me...

MaMo's Truths: Inspiration is a tiring thing,

but at least it keeps you moving forward.

So I was watching Oprah the other day (someday I'll meet that woman) and these four guys were on. Ben, Duncan, Dave, and Jonnie from Canada. Turns out these guys made a LIST just like me. Unlike me, they have fully committed themselves to completing it to the point where they have a TV show recording it!

I--AM--SO--JEALOUS

But after the jealousy came attraction (because they're sexy) and admiration. I want to do exactly what they're doing! I don't care if it's on TV or not, but I love the idea of devoting yourself to a cause and, with a group of friends, traveling to get it done. What REALLY impressed me was how they also take the time to help others with their LISTS. They helped a woman conquer her fear of heights. They raised money and took another to see her

mother's grave site for the first time. They reunited an artist with a son he hadn't seen in 17 years. It's incredible.

And so (ironically) to the bottom of MY LIST, I'm adding: create a LIST with friends and complete it together for a summer, while helping others with theirs.(I believe this would be #106?)

I may end up doing this for multiple summers, but this is just a start. I really, really, really, really think that would be the funnest thing EVER! I finished the program with a pounding heart, racing mind, and inspired spirit--AGAIN.

I don't know what it is, but if I had a penny for every time I was inspired by something, I might me rich!...

well, I guess considering that we're talking pennies here I may only be four dollars richer... barely enough to buy me some gas... Anyway my point is, I'm beginning to loose track of what things I've been inspired to do. I can be quite tiring. I always find myself thinking:

"Oh, I want to do that!" OR "Ooo I could do that!"

"Wow. I need to to that." OR "That's incredible! I should do that!"

So... I tend to dream bigger and bigger and my plans for life expand...but I guess its better than nuttin.

P.S. if I don't have this on my list already, I'm adding it now (107): Have a special family activity with the Tins.

Update on Operation Bud:

Serious progress. Penny is doing much better and the future looks promisingly sunny :)
