11/12/2008 - What age were you most inspired?

When I was 20, I had boundless energy, confidence in my abilities to tackle any obstacle, and the desire to try anything. I was privileged to travel to Central America and loved every moment. I was in love and glad for the reassurance that brought, but the prospect of life spread out in front of me was tantalizing and I was so glad for someone to share it with. I had a high degree of faith in god's leading, and while I recognized that I didn't know all the answers, I wasn't worried about what might happen. I look back now, and wish I had that optimism and inspiration, but I wouldn't trade them for the knowledge and experience life has brought me.
