I was asked the question "What ispires me" and would have to answer that it's my family. I'm a sahm to 5 kids (youngest is almost 8 weeks and the oldest is almost 9) and am married to a wonderful man. When I think of inspiration, this picture sums up where I'm at right now.
My children are the inspiration behind why I fight so hard everyday. My husband and I have just made the VERY tough decision to uproot our family from Michigan to Georgia and both of us go back to school to get a degree as a DC (doctor of chiropractic). Leaving our family and friends, and everything we know, behind is not an easy choice, but having a better life and being able to offer more to my children, becomes my inspiration. The look in my sons eyes in this picture as he looks both with admiration, and a bit of mischief, at my husband is an inspiration to me. I'm inspired to be more as a mom when I see my husband interacting with the kids. I'm inspired to be a better "ME". Being in college full time with 5 kid will not be easy, but when I look at this picture, and see the delight in my son's eyes, I will be reminded to "Keep Going"! and that the end result is worth the momentary pain.
