I teach handicapped children and when one of them gains a new skill and the smile on their face when they finally "get it", MAN, I'm telling you, that is the greatest feeling on earth. That is what inspires me to get up every morning and do it all again. :)

life, nature, and my small circle of influence (IE friends, family, fiancee, son, just all the people of my inner circle) are my inspiration. their ideas, their examples... their mistakes. joys happinesses, successes and failures. i learn from their lives and if i'm lucky they learn a little bit from mine. life is a co-operative collective after all.
my greatest joy, without a doubt, is my inquisitive, energetic, challenging, bouncing baby boy. he is 40 pounds of three year old enthusiasm. he runs around willie nillie, without a care in the world because he knows that mommy's there and everything's fine. he trips and scrapes his knees, he comes limping to me with teary eyes and chokes through tears "mommy kiss?" and as soon as the knee is kissed... the tears stop and the smiles come back then the romping ensues.
i marvel at the security he feels (wondering if i ever felt that way) i've heard it said that mother is the name of god on the lips and hearts of all children (i think in a movie or something) but the phrase just stuck with me. every day that phrase is a part of my life and i do my best to honor it. i remember my childhood and i know that phrase is true. i can also remember how early my faith was shattered and the concept of god died for me. my son deserves his faith and i owe it to him never to shatter it.

My crush brings me greatest joy and inspires me to do all the difficult job that i wouldn't have been able to accomplish without him.
My every action is influenced by him, without his knowledge.

My family & what we had been through give me inspiration to strive harder. My parents find financial constraint not a hindrance to send their kids in school...and here i am, done in school and able to help Mama & Papa at home...and no doubts, i have the greatest joy, being able to see my parents smiling.

Bringing happiness to children, especially those whose lives are troubled. That's number one. I also get a big kick out of anonymously helping people. The few times that I have gotten to do an anonymous good deed, I relish my little secret.

Love. The journey to find it can be difficult, but also adventurous. My greatest joy will be when I find true love!

The Lord, my family, and my closest friends. I don't know what I'd do without any of them.
