I imagine that you are all as pleased as I am to discover that I am 'proficient' in my 'positive professional ethos'! Actually I think that I am distinguished as I said yesterday (either that or 'unsatisfactory') and that they should build a statue to me somewhere on the grounds. (Hopefully, you realize that my tongue is firmly in cheek again when I say this!) However, I suppose that I should be happy that I've been identified as an inspiration to all, and therefore deemed at least 'proficient'. I would have to have achieved sainthood to have gone any further.
I just want to say that I don't think of myself as inspirational. In fact, I feel very uncomfortable when people say it. I do what I do because when you are sick, all you can do is whatever it takes to get better. I go to school because I won't get paid if I don't go. How can that be, in any way, inspirational? I suppose people can take inspiration from the actions of others but isn't it dangerous to call the person, inspirational. I don't know. All around us, people are coping in silence with the most dreadful situations. The only difference between them and me is that I am obviously ill (especially evident since I lost my hair).
Then there is this question: Do we actually take inspiration from others and if so, what do we do with it? I can't think of any instances in my life where the actions of someone else have actually inspired me to do something. Can you? I'd really like to hear about the experiences of others.

There is a state before sainthood. It's called beatification.
Well Mary Jane, it takes a girl whose been to a catholic high school to know that! Beatification, yes, I'll remember that and use it at the right moment!
Hey mum! Jesus inspires me every day. Or perhaps it's rather the love I have for Him and what He's done for me that inspires me. That inspiration causes me to live life entirely differently and I hope for the better!
