Welcome to the latest edition of Where Bloggers Live. It’s kind of like HGTV’s “Celebrities at Home,” but…Bloggers! Who doesn’t like to peek behind the scenes and see inside people’s homes and lives? For the last year, a group of six bloggers have been sharing all sorts of things – their workspaces, their homes, towns and more!
This month is what inspires me? That’s a hard one, and includes a number of different things. Mostly I’m inspired by people! There are so many people around that we take for granted.
Emergency Service Professionals: Police, Fire, EMS – whichever. If you put your life on the line on a daily basis to help protect and save lives you are surely an inspiration to me!
Medical Professionals: In today’s world with the pandemic raging they are risking their lives for others. Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Doctors… we depend on them now than ever.
the Military: They selflessly serve their country. And sadly, in a world that doesn’t have the patriotism it once did. I appreciate each and every one of them and I include the Reserves!
Teachers: I can’t even imagine how difficult it is to teach kids in today’s world. I admire the people who chose this profession and work to educate kids.
There are many others who should go on this list and all of these are “people helping other people”. What a blessing they are and I appreciate each and every one of them!

I agree with all of your choices for inspiration, Iris, and thank you so much for including teachers! When I taught I frequently felt like I was not respected by society so it is nice to see you include my profession! I will add that I am inspired by the many bloggers who work hard to bring interesting and informative posts to their blogs and that includes you!
Thanks Debbie – I couldn’t be a teacher – but I truly admire those who are. And, thank you for the nice compliment – not sure how informative ‘ramblings’ is, but maybe a tidbit now and then.
Take care and have a great week.

This is such a sweet post and it’s true, there are so many people who give up a lot to take care of us!
Hope that you are having a great weekend! It will be a quiet one here, we are all in a 3 day lockdown due to a case of the virus being found outside of hotel quarantine for the first time in 113 days.
Thanks Mica. I’m sorry you’re on lockdown. Our numbers just keep going up and up. I mostly just stay at home. Be safe!
Iris
Such a sweet post. I totally agree with you on this.
Thanks Daenel. It’s so easy to just go about our business and not even think of these people – until we really need them.

Oh, Iris, this is the sweetest <3

Ahhh, thanks Bettye.

What a great take on this prompt!! I am inspired by you sharing your inspiration. God bless the first responders, the military and our frontline health professionals. God bless our teachers, too. And God bless YOU.
Thanks Leslie – I think there are a lot of people out there that we tend to take for granted. I’ve been trying not to do that so much.
Iris
I love how you pointed out these people Iris. You’re right…we do tend to take them for granted yet they are so important in our lives.

I guess we take a lot of people for granted – without even thinking about it – but I’ve been trying to be more appreciative.
