As writers, we always have our antennae up and that’s a good thing, because inspiration is all around us, just waiting to be discovered. Just recently, I came across a load of it on a Cornflakes box of all places.

On the back of the box was this bold proclamation:

“FIND Big Inspiration IN THE LITTLE THINGS:

Watch the sun rise and set on the same day

Pack a picnic lunch

Go stargazing

Explore local walking/hiking trails

Have a bon fire

Set your favorite dance music as your alarm

Climb a tree

Eat with chopsticks

Tell someone you love them

Build a snowman

Do a random act of kindness

Fly a kite

Bake cookies for your neighbors

Get ice cream from an ice cream truck

Jump in a puddle

Watch the clouds

Visit a local museum

Learn a card trick

Finish a 1000 piece puzzle …
