Happy Monday………..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.
Since it’s President’s Day here in the USA, I spent quite a while reading quotes by our past and present Presidents to find something that “spoke” to me. There were SO MANY and many others that I had no idea were attributable to certain Presidents of my country. Quotes I’ve used for years but never knew WHO spoke them. My SPARK quote today is one of those. I’ve heard this before but did not know it was one of George Washington’s quotes.
Well time has proven this to be true…………………and even he knew it back in his day. Wise man was he………………………

Before I return to my nap I want to remind everyone tomorrow is TEASER TUESDAY. Remember to COMMENT when you get to class! The post is at a surprise (not regular blog) time so be on your toes (or paws as the case may be).
