In Search Of Inspiration

February 25, 2015 8 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

It’s almost 11:00 on Wednesday night and I’ve just sat down for the night.

  • Long Work Day – Check
  • Swimming at the Y with the Kids – Check
  • Grocery Store – Check
  • 3 miles on the treadmill and 5 sets of 50 – Check
  • Shower and eat – Check

The TV is off, the house is silent and I’m munching on pretzels and drinking some sparkling water just waiting for inspiration to knock me off my feet.  Waiting for the most profound thing to write but it’s not coming, as you can probably tell.

sleepy time

So I start asking myself why?  I want to write.  I want to talk to you but is what I have to say worth saying right now?

Eh

Where did my inspiration go?  Where is it hiding?  Then it occurs to me…I’m missing the outdoors.  I always seem to find my inspiration when I’m on the trail.  When I’m running outside and it’s been too long since I’ve done that.

I kind of feel like Stella looking for her groove, maybe I need a trip to the islands.

Anyway, I won’t ramble anymore.  It’s late, I’m tired and you’re probably sick of reading this nothingness of a post.

Happy early Thursday!

Where do you find your writing inspiration? #FitFluential

Are you in a writing groove?  Are you feeling inspired these days?  Where do you find inspiration?

    I feel like I’m in a blogging rut right now too. I’m finding it hard to write something new and exciting and feel like I’m boring my readers! We’ll get it back as the temps rise I bet!

    Well I don’t have a blog, but I miss the outdoors, too! I miss the sun, and I miss running out in the trails. My new found inspiration is found in my son. I can’t wait to get outside and show him everything! And I also can’t wait to set a good example for him by getting out there and enjoying life. Right before going to bed , I saw that picture on my IG feed, and thought “I feel ya!”

    I know this may be weird, but I like this post so much. It let’s us know you are human too, and can’t do it all everyday (but are still a great wife and mom!) Thanks for the encouragement!

    Oh man I miss the outdoors , too! These icy roads & single digits temps are killing me!! Do you have any workout DVDs? In a pinch it’s a nice change. I downloaded Xtend bar from Amazon Prime for under $10 and it’s always available from any device.
