How cute are THEY? This is my pal Riley and his new pet puppy. Before I went back to school after Christmas break we stopped by their house to meet the newest member of the Boyle family. Riley is one of the bravest people I know and a huge inspiration to me. I've known this cutie since he was a little baby and have enjoyed so much watching he and his older brother grow up and become their own people. Unfortunately, in the past few months Riley has been through hell and back again. The fears he had to face were fears that even I, at 20 years old, don't think that I could handle with nearly as much composer and confidence and this little boy did. Every time my mom mom gave me an update on how he was doing, I would hear every time about how brave and strong he was being. Riley is only in 6th grade but by looking at his heart and soul, you would never guess. He's inspired me to embrace life and what it has to throw at me, whether it be a bad grade on an exam or an illness, and embrace it with confidence in the idea that things will work out, and with a smile (that kid is always smiling). Its amazing how many people walk in and out of your life that have incredibly inspiring aspects about them that we don't even realize because we don't necessarily take the time to notice them. For me, at least, inspiration is what drives my life. I also believe that every person you meet has something inspiring to offer you. If its there, being offered, and its free, why not accept it? This year and for the rest of my life I want to allow myself to be inspired by as many people as I can.. you should too.
