Last night, I asked this question on Twitter:

Based on people’s responses to my question about inspirational stories, I’ve ordered the books I Heard the Owl Call My Name by Margaret Craven, Know My Name: A Memoir by Chanel Miller, and Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trial of American Democracy, by Jamie Raskin. I’m looking forward to reading those inspirational and, I’m sure, difficult stories.
Do you see any inspirational stories in my other images for today?

Thanks to all who inspire me to blog every day, including YOU.

I am inspired by those who have very little, helping those who have even less. Also by those I see litter picking in their neighbourhood, trying to make things better for everyone.
I am inspired by your comment to share that I recently found out about the word “plogging” which means picking up litter while jogging. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/origin-and-meaning-of-plogging#:~:text=Plogging%20is%20a%20term%20invented,Gloves%20recommended.
I would have called it Jitter picking!
Hmmm, so a sink is a dangerous area for a pet. I wonder if you should tell Joan.
I am inspired by how great minds like ours, Debbie, think alike!
I am inspired by Joan’s natural teaching skills
It was a previous comment by you, beth, that inspired that Tweet! 😻

Ellie B’s dogged pursuit of getting her four legs over this hard winter puts a little more hop in my step, I must say, Ann
