Kindle for Droid: Today I started reading "Pride and Prejudice" again (free book) using my Kindle Android App. A Droid is a bit small, but not bad.
Motivation: I saw an ad for John Maxwell this morning on FB - he is my favorite motivational speaker. Being a speaker in his organization would be a rewarding job, truly making a difference in the lives of others (I presume there are such jobs). Then again, it would probably be a lot of travel. If you were going to pick one of his motivational (CDs/MP3, books, whatever) I would recommend "The Difference Maker". I think I gave most of mine away to someone who needed them. You can buy a used CD for as little as $7.63 on Amazon, hardcover used book is $3.49. http://www.amazon.com/Difference-Maker-Making-Attitude-Greatest/dp/0785260986/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1299504542&sr=8-1.

One day I will write a few blogs on motivation. I have motivation for everything except exercise and cutting back on calories. I now believe it is genetics from my father's side of the family and I have very little control over my destiny.
ART. I just purchased Picasso's "the Bathers" today. (Yes, my bonus was a good one!) I love ART...all kinds of art. Maybe I should write a blog on art (without being artsy-fartsy). Carol and I could write together, she knows more about art than I do. We both share a passion for art. (Lightbulb over head, shining brighter!)

I love the post! Motivation is contagious; therefore, I think you should write something about it... I agree completely with genetics. Can I use that as an excuse as well? :~)
I also love art! However, I prefer music and poetry to pictures. I love expressing myself through words. Great way to vent and free myself... However, Taylor has the creative drawing bug. She just showed me a beautiful artwork that she created. A piece of cardboard covered in pictures and words. Priceless!
A Book I gave Becky Sunday had a lot about genetics and the twins studies from the U of Minnesota in it. Pretty much proves you cannot fight genetics, no matter how much "nurturing" you give. Nature wins out every time.
Still working my way through Pride & Prejudice. But I enjoy having Kindle on my phone.
