These two tidbits of inspiration have spoken to me recently.

Simple Resolution for 2012

via we're all mad here

Besides running this half marathon in March, I think I have a good resolution for 2012, or maybe just something I should always try to accomplish, no matter what the year. See above.

Lifelong Inspiration: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Jacqueline Kennedy's style, grace and poise throughout her time as First Lady served as an inspiration to me before I was even old enough to understand all of the political and social issues surrounding her husband's presidency.  She is one of the reasons I have had a lifelong interest in post World War II American History.  For a recent class project, we could pick any topic to create a library pathfinder for, and I chose her.
