What exactly IS this Monday SPARK thing we do? Well, most of you know that Annie of McGuffy’s Reader – who started SPARKS – was hacked and has been on an extended break from blogging although her idea to spread some inspiration on Monday of every week goes on. Many of us who participated in her SPARKS Blog Hop and found value in sharing a thought on Monday continue doing that to hopefully give each other a “Monday boost” – perhaps something to think about to inspire us in the week ahead OR help us deal with something that’s on our mind. Why not join us by sharing something that SPARKS you? It might just start a spark in us too.
I realize that a lot of my SPARK quotes are inter-related but if you think about it – MOST positive and inspirational things ARE. Perseverance? Positivity? Yes – both and sometimes a lot harder to travel through live WITH those traits but it’s so worth it. The old “if at first you don’t succeed, try – try again” quote might have been the very first one that STUCK with me when I was way younger. Maybe that was the “germ” that started my positivity. I don’t know but it’s worked for me. This quote which is today’s SPARK is a beautiful photo and thought combined:
I’ve never been sorry that I have chosen NOT to ignore that little voice in me……………I might not ROAR but I definitely TRY!
oh we agree… it sometimes is just a whispering in our ear… and it says tomorrow we fail better ;O)))

That is a good Spark. Not everything is always achievable on the day you want to do it, but we must all be grateful for our tomorrows to try again.
I may be late tomorrow because I have my scan this evening and not allowed to eat after 12.30. That means I would miss my pub lunch after shopping! We will go shopping tomorrow so I don’t miss out.
