Someone who inspires me

I was texting back and forth with Sharon today as we were working out the transporting of our sons from play practice.  We had begun texting before I left for work.  So on my way to work, I started thinking about her and what an amazing person she is.  We first met when her Libby and my Alyssa became friends in the 2nd grade,  They were best friends for many years, and shared years in the marching band.  The Warman family will always be so dear to Alyssa.  As luck would have it.  We also have another pair of kids the same age.

Sharon is one of those people;  I just sit back and look at all she does and I just can't believe all that she is involved in...and I often wonder how she does it all.  She is a ray of sunshine, always positive, always has a smile on her face, always appears to go with the flow, always laughing.  She's a scrapbooker...another way we connect... and has sold Creative Memories.  She inspires me to keep up with that hobby, she inspires me to photograph and design and to preserve our precious memories.

We were both  marching band parents and I would marvel at her involvement, energy and ideas.  I know she is involved in a bunch of organizations...and she is a speech pathologist by day.  She has 3 fantastic kids, a strong marriage, and a close knit family.  She is super woman.  When I talk to her, I always feel more grounded when I am done.  I know she has saved my life by helping transport Alex back and forth this year.  

I just started thinking today about what an amazing person she is, how much she accomplishes...what a beautiful spirit she has.  I am honored to know her....and she inspires me to be a better person.  I am pretty sure that there is some phone booth somewhere that she goes in to hide her superhero regalia.  I count myself so fortunate to have had the honor to know her!!
