What lifts your spirits?

Noses
No matter how awful my day has been, my spirits are lifted when my dog nudges my hand with her nose and looks at me as if to say, "Mama, I know you're upset." The cuddle effect cannot be underestimated!

What's been motivating you recently?

For the last eight and a half years, I lost sight of my individuality...something that (albeit necessarily) tends to happen when you serve in the military. Now that I'm a civilian again, I'm motivated to rediscover who "I" am...and have the freedom to focus on my education and my musical and artistic endeavors.

What was the last thing you smiled about?

I was stalked by a seagull this morning. I'm not sure if seagulls actually grow larger when near the ocean (or whether my bird paranoia tainted my vision somewhat), but I am quite sure that he was both the largest seagull I've ever seen...and that he was also eyeing my legs like they were French fries. So, I chased him away. That momentary relapse into the *ahem* maturity of my childhood kept me smiling all the way to my office.  *Note: no seagulls were harmed during the making of this anecdote.
