Are you having a hard time getting started on your day?

Maybe, do you feel a little like you woke up like this?

Maybe because your backyard looks like this.

(That’s called snow. Because it’s 34 degrees out).

But if you look closely, you might find this.

Still. I hear ya. Because you know, it’s Monday. I think. But it feels like yesterday. Right? (Because for the first time I can remember, I wore pajamas to my Easter Sunday service. 😊)

I know…we need to write today, right?

So, I dug into the Big Book of Inspiration and found this:

I will praise you with my harp – I love that line! Because while David used a musical instrument, I have my WORDS. My story.

And so do you.

However, maybe you need some inspiration.

Try this video (I dare you not to smile):

And if that doesn’t get you inspired, how about this? (I dare you not to laugh!)

Or finally, how about a trip to Milan? (I dare you not to cry, maybe worship a little!!) (this is a shot from our home theater, as we watched it live.)

And, if you need further encouragement…repeat these words:

All set? Here’s the truth: writing isn’t magic. It’s hard work.

You CAN do the work. You have the source of words, of joy. And, you’re not in this alone.

Your story matters! Go, write something brilliant (and inspired!) today!

Your friend in the writing trenches,

Susie May
