Some days inspiration is hard to come by. It is always available in one form or another but can be hard to recognize depending on your mood and circumstances. When I am having a stressful morning or hit a road block in my work, inspriation takes a hike.
Have not figured out why inspriation is so fickle, or where it goes when it leaves, but I have a few guesses.
A lot of everyday things inspire me; my surroundings, my cat, my neighbors, music. So many strangers have inspired things I have written here and will probably never know they had a part in something I produced, something I felt.
For those feeling uninspired today, here are a few things to try to get inspiration to come back from his/her sabatical:
Go for a walk.
If you have a pet, quietly observe it for a while. See how content your dog/cat/other can be to sit silently in the sunshine.
Do something normal like wash dishes or clean out your sock drawer. Sometimes all the mind needs is a chance to relax while your hands are busy.
What inspires you?

"A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting."

Pretty much the same that inspires you–walks, animals, paying attention while doing simple chores, having thought-provoking conversations with friends, finding a really great book to read…

I find inspiration in the people that I spend the most time with… for instance, my wife is an inspiration to me.
