When you feel like what you do, doesn’t matter, remember you climb a hill one step at a time. Now, look back and see how far you’ve come.
What place helps remind you how far you’ve come?

Beautiful shot! Mine is Mt. Sinai! Climbing Mt. Sinai shows me the strength and will I have and how far I’ve come as a result.
I haven’t been to Mt. Sinai, but hope to someday. But I can vividly imagine why it would be your place of choice for inspiration.
It is beautiful! You can see pictures on my blog I posted under “We Prayed. We Hiked. And then, I cried…” It was an amazing experience!
Love this shot from the Blue Ridge Mountains! We need to remember to stop and enjoy the view. Thanks for this post.
I recently searched through a box of cards and notes looking for something. This stockpile has been with me for years – I add cards that are special to me in some form or another. So, I’m not a hoarder, but I admit that there were several cards in there from my middle school graduation. Anyway, it was a great reminder of my journey…school, family and marriage (yep, love notes in there too). I am truly grateful.
I like your take on this…how it’s not only places that inspire us to see how far we’ve come, but the written word from friends and family. Great perspective.
I would say Italy- it reminds me of where I’ve been as well as the possibilities of the future. In everyday life, I would say it is art work… my own and other people’s art. When I am at a museum… I love to see how we have changed as a society in our expressions through art… what was scandalous 100 years ago is no big deal today or how we express an emotion or snapshot in time varies through history.
Love this perspective, too. Places, written word in old letters…art. So many things offer us insight and inspiration and show us how far we’ve come.
