Last night, as I was thinking about what I would post about today I was feeling uninspired. I wasn't feeling very creative and I was drawing a blank. After a long holiday weekend you would think I would wake up with all kinds of creative thoughts ready to put pen to paper.

But... I had nothing.

Nothing until 11 o'clock PM when I was suddenly inspired by our local news who ran a story about amazing accomplishments and highlighted Jonathan Lester. You know who he is, right? I know are least 2 people reading this blog know who he is.

Jonathan Lester is a left-handed Boston Red Sox pitcher. His 2006 rookie season was cut short due to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. But, less than two years after being diagnosed with lymphoma, Lester pitched the final game of the 2007 World Series against Colorado and just last week he threw a no-hitter as Boston beat the Kansas City Royals, 7-0. He is the first Red Sox lefty to toss a no-hitter since Mel Parnell against the White Sox on July 14, 1956.

If that's not inspiring - I don't know what is. So I started to think about what inspires and motivates me. Although I am not pitching no hitters for a Major League Baseball team, I am raising two children who I hope will grow to accomplish amazing things just like John Lester. And that is what inspires and motivates me.

What about you? What inspires and motivates you?
