Good Morning,
Once again I was blown away by the submissions sent in for yesterday’s challenge. I especially had to share the emails I received from Roxanne.
Roxanne B’s August Poem
Were you inspired today? How?: My maternal grandmother just had the second anniversary since she passed. So I wanted to honor that fact with a poem.
Always on my mind.
Unforgettable memories.
Grandma.
Until we meet again.
Sadness is a part of my life.
Together the family will honor your memory.
Greetings,
Enclosed is a photo of my inspiration for today’s challenge. This was my grandmother’s graduation picture. She graduated Magna Cum Laude, with many special awards. There is so much special history, that goes along with her former neighborhood and high school. I could write a history of the area. Suffice to say, she over came all kind of adversity.
Roxanne

Everyone did such a beautiful job and inspiration was found everywhere. Here are a few comments:
Were you inspired today? How?:

For today, we are going to have some FUN! Having fun is yet another wonderful way to make or spread happiness!
Fun can be ironic. Why? We don’t always have it when we expect to, and sometimes we have the most fun when we’re doing something we thought might not be fun.
Of course, there are always some experiences that we enjoy so much that they are always fun. It might be a favorite hobby, spending time with certain friends or going to a familiar restaurant.
While our degree of fun can’t always be anticipated, we need to try to have it as much fun as we can each and every day.
When was the last time you had fun?
Your challenge is to have some fun today. Whether it’s playing video games, doing a puzzle, taking a walk, visiting with friends and family, or doing something that will be fun for others like playing with a niece or nephew, throwing a ball for your dog, or inviting a parent or sibling to join you for a game of UNO — there are countless ways to have fun. Which one will you choose?
It is also National Baseball Fans Day! If we have any baseball fans or players out there, share with us a picture of you in your favorite or team baseball cap! Even if you aren’t on a team, have some fun and snap a picture of yourself in your only, your favorite, or any baseball cap you choose and remember…
HAVE FUN WITH IT!
Have a great day!
Zack & Lisa
