What better day to get inspired than a Monday? Or the first month of a new year, indeed a new decade?  Or the 13th day of the month?  So, today is it.  Potential areas for inspiration - sort of like New Year's resolutions but instead of promises, this is a list of potential adventures driven by inspiration.

Sources of inspiration:
* A movie such as Julie & Julia
* A book such as Palm Sunday by Kurt Vonnegut
* A calendar, an awareness of time
* Visits to natural and cultural sites
* Walks, exercise
* Mindfulness

Potential areas of inspiration:
* Cooking, meal preparation, mindful eating
* Gardening
* Applying for historical status for house
* Money management strategies
* Enjoying what I have and making the most of it
* Pursue love and friendship
* Genealogy pursuits
* Photography - new photos and old photos

I am 73 years old now and live alone in my old home town of Piqua, Ohio.  I have love in my life, economic stability, reasonable state of health, and have many interests in life.  I feel the excitement of inspiration welling within me.  I don't know what the future holds but I am optimistic about it and am ready to embrace it.  A new year, a new decade, a new outlook on life.
