Sparks on Monday!
SPARKS is the idea of my good friend Annie of McGuffy’s Reader. She thinks it’s important for us to share something uplifting to start our week and we think so too. We are happy to be part of this positive Blog Hop and hope you will join in – just click her badge above and enter your blog link and share your SPARK!!!
It’s Monday again……..already………another week gone but another week ahead. Time is like that – disappears then reappears and gives us HOPE. Speaking of HOPE, that’s the subject of my SPARK today. Something I keep in my heart as much as possible and it seems as time moves on I try to have MORE and MORE of it “standing by” in my arsenal of weapons to get through life one day at a time. HOPE is also a big part of my mantra of positivity. You can’t lose hope and be positive. At least I can’t!
Another Maya Angelou quote that speaks to me. I have room in my life for MANY things and always have in my 70 years here…….but given a choice between Hope and Fear and allowing one of them to RESIDE in my day to day living, I’ll choose hope every time. Fearing sort of says “I’m beat and nothing can help”…….Hope says “I may be facing something scary but I have hope and I will win”………much more powerful.
My “heavy thoughts” for this Monday! I am choosing to be HOPEFUL today – how about you??
Hugs, Pam

Yes – HOPE is solid and something you can hold on to…..fear is slippery.
