I don’t have to tell any of you that pain can be tough.  There’s the pain itself, and then all the consequences of having chronic pain – on family, work, friends, hobbies, etc.

So what keeps you going?  After sharing with you a great inspirational quote I found, I thought I’d ask you what your favorite inspirational quote is.  What do you have on your mirror to look at every day?  What sets you on a good track each morning?

So how about an Inspirational Quote Contest???  Here are the guidelines:

1. Choose your favorite quote, and include the author
2. Send it in to me here, (not in the comments) by Friday, October 5.  Enter as many times as you’d like.
3. I’ll choose a winner based on inspirational-ness (neat word, no?), who’ll be announced on Monday, October 8.
4. The top 10 runners-up will also be published.

There are 2 prizes for the winner!! - donated by Meditation Station, the web site of the Meditation Society of America.  The winner will receive:

• a Guided Meditation CD
• 12  issues of their newsletter, The Inner Traveler, on CD

Meditation Station is a wonderful website that shares meditation concepts and techniques from all traditions.  At their site, there are dozens of “how-to” meditation methods for you to learn and benefit from.  They write, “if it helps you evolve in consciousness, self knowledge and well being, it will have served its purpose.”  Now that’s inspirational!

So get inspired and share your favorite quote!
