Things That Are Motivating Me Right Now

This card, for one, which I keep in my desk drawer:

Inside:

A friend gave it to me a few weeks ago as an inspirational pick-me-up sort of thing, just to keep around. I don't want to get into the context, but it meant a lot to me. There are multiple people I wish I could give it to, because it makes me feel better whenever I look at it (both because of the message and also because I know the person who gave it to me is there for me), and I want to make other people feel better. Unfortunately, I only have one, and I don't know where to get more, so here it is for you on my blog.

I also really love this worry stone I got at this awesome store in Provincetown two summers ago. I always keep it in my purse (as you can see from the sides of it, which used to be white). I do always try to listen to my heart, and anyway, I think my heart would win out even if I didn't, because that's just how I am. But it's a comfort whenever I look at it, to see it and just know that whatever happens, and no matter how much I want to stress out and overanalyze everything, I should just stay true to what my heart and my gut tell me, and I'll be fine. It's so simple, and so clear.

Maybe these things can inspire you too!
