My W words list

My W Words.
Whenever I'm feeling a little tired, or unable to focus, I know I can count on my "W" words to pull me back on track.
What are "w" words?
They are the words I have find that get me motivated, inspired, and moving again.
This week, while trying to eat healthy, I came across a food choice that looked interesting.
 Quinoa!!
I found a great recipe in the vegetarian book and made a Quinoa salad.
It was great!!!, It was healthy, its was vegetarian.....unfortunately for me,  quinoa is a small round pasta. A little bead of a pasta. By the next day my intestines were inflamed.
My diverticulitis had kicked in.
Three days later, I'm up walking and feeling better.
But, my motivation is down. My energy is weak, and my concentration lacking.
Long ago I had created a "W" list. These are the words that get me moving.
I'm sure you can do this with any letter, but W works best for me.
Take a piece of paper and start writing down all the words you can think of that start with W.
When you are done, look at your list. Pick 3 words and start doing them.
 Before long you will be happily moving around and feeling better.
Here is my list:
Wake, water, walk, write, work, wonder, wander, weave, whine, wine, weep, whistle, whisper,wiggle around,.... I'm sure there is more but once I start doing these I'm well on my way to being back on track with my day.
Be Inspired,

Live to Inspire

Live to Inspire
Ideas and Concepts

Inspire. ...

What moves you to the point that you must do something and then share it with someone?
Inspiring is doing something bold or courageous and then passing this high energy along to someone else.
How do you know if you are the one inspiring or being inspired?
I moved completely away from home at a tender age of 18. With no friends to a new city, college and barely no money.
Was that inspiring?
I married at 21 and again moved far from home to a city with no family or friends, with only $100.00 and no where to live.
Was that inspiring?
Being brave, vibrant, and as authentic as you can in living your life.
Yes, I think that's inspiring.
Telling how I left a job as a baker when I read a fortune cookie that said,
"Move in a different direction to begin your dream life".
Yes, that was inspired!
I hope that I don't just tell people about being inspired, I hope they are inspired by watching how I live my life. How sometimes taking a risk works out, being bold is exciting, taking chances makes your heart beat faster, by picking yourself up after a disappointment and moving forward after a good cry.
Keep moving forward...keep up the curiosity....keep the ideas and concepts coming.
I love this little abstract painting. It was my first attempt at painting concepts. Every time I look at it I see something new. It Inspires Me.
Show yourself to the world.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Be Inspired,
