Monday's Muse - I think I'm stuck


Today's prompt at Maternal Spark is "...tell me what's inspiring you this week. What are your plans for the new year?" Sadly, I don't feel particularly inspired. I think my inspiration has been a bit sporadic this week... For instance, I wrote a poem recently and I thought it was absolutely wonderful. (No, I don't think I'll share it with you because it was written for someone.) I've had some ideas for some creative stuff... Ah ha! That's it! It's not a what that's inspiring me this week; it's a who.

My BFF Frankie celebrated his 40th birthday yesterday (yes, I told your age!) and I have been doing small things in honor of such a wonderful occasion - and person. Thinking of him inspires ideas of how I can show him how much he means to me and that's been my creative focus for this month and through the rest of this week.

Ahhh... I feel much better now that I remembered I have been inspired.

Now, what are my plans for the New Year? I don't have any well-laid out plans, but - as always - my goal is to get a job, contract and/or make more money through large writing projects, blogging or magazine work. So every plan or goal or thought I have right now is centered around making more money. Not very creative (except for figuring out how to make money), but oh so realistic.
You can read more of my Monday's Muse posts... I promise they're a lot more creative than this one. Happy Monday!
