Denise, my mother-in-law, has challenges on her blog. You can check out the challenges on her blog, http://seasonalsouveniers.blogspot.com/
Her challenge question was What in Nature Inspires You?
My Answer: Water
For those who know me well, this probably isn't a surprise. In high school I spent at least 2 hours a day swimming and during the summer I practically lived at the pool. I love water. An ice cold drink or a jump in a chilly lake on a hot day. A hot steamy shower on a cold day. It just makes you feel good!
I love the fact that water can be so serene and calm. Like an untouched mountain pond. Or it can be strong and raging like a flash flood through a canyon, destroying anything in it's path. It also reminds me to persevere. A small trickle of water can carve through rock if given enough time.
Another reason why water inspires me is because I feel comfortable in the water. I love swimming as a workout because of the feeling of gliding through the water. The struggle of moving faster through the water and the feeling afterwards of your tired muscles. (Also the fact that you can't feel all your sweat but you get a good workout!)
Water inspires me because it can be so serene, but if it needs to, it has the strength to change mountains.
