thanks sky for this thread - i was starting to feel quite stressed and maybe slightly sad but this thread has really perked me up, i've enjoyed reading everyone's replies! Btw i think it is really really cool that you have an aloe vera plant, i have always wanted one so i get excited seeing any or hearing that someone has one....i'm silly like that

Kimmydawn - your post was really amazing. Thank you for sharing with us all. It is funny that often we don't know the impact we can have in someones life...and i am glad that she came back stronger and thanked you. That is inspiring!

I'm going to spend some time today thinking about what inspires me. I think though for me, it is strong people who stand up for what they believe - whether they be well known like Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Gandi.....or those that are making a difference everyday without others knowing like Kimmydawn and Sky (to name but two!)...........i could add many more!

take care everyone!
