Ordinary people inspiring others....

I hope that you agree that in our everyday lives we come across people who make the most amazing comments on the ordinariness of illness/disability/caring etc, often they don't mean to inspire but they simply do. Just lately a couple of people have inspired me to think about how the most basic things should be embraced and cherished. For example having people close to you, either family or friends is a gift one that ought not to be taken for granted, investing time in our loved ones is time well worth spent. For me having a laugh is a basic need, to laugh everyday is my goal and to share that with others is fantastic and uplifting. It is the energy and feel good factor that I adore that comes from being with people, feeling happy and laughing. It seems obvious but when you look around so many people seem miserable, low eb and unable to hear and see the amazing things that are around us. Only the other day a couple with severe health issues said to me that if they have each other - they have everything - if they have a laugh each day - then life is good! I felt inspired and for the rest of the day I did not moan or whinge or think in a negative way.......listening to the things that ordinary people say as they handle illness is truly inspiring.
