I wasn’t going to post at all today; I’ve been in a inexplicable (unshakeable) bad mood and I didn’t feel like bringing my rain cloud to the blog.  I’ve said at least ten times today “I hate everyone.”

However, then I read this.  The article in general makes me even angrier – and sad, and disheartened, and shocked by how harsh we’ve made this existence.  But more than that I am moved by the optimism of Bethany Storro.  I am inspired by her courage, and the grace she brought to an untenable situation.

I often forget that no matter what the situation is, we always have control over our response to it.  And our response – whether it’s a positive or negative one – ends up coloring the entire experience.

Who or what has inspired you lately?
