SPARK on Monday

Posted on October 26, 2020 by onespoiledcat

And another week begins……………….maybe a little thought for the week is in order? That was the idea that Annie McGuffy of McGuffy’s Reader had when she began the SPARK posts a few years ago – before her blog was hacked and she stopped posting. We hope she will be back soon – we miss her but in her honor many of us have been carrying the SPARKS torch on Mondays. Just something to make us stop and think – prepare us for facing a new day.

I hear from so many that they are feeling many things just slipping away. Missing friends, feeling isolated as we stay home more, wondering when we’ll see the light in the end of this tunnel. I guess for me anyway it’s more important than ever to have HOPE. I love this quote. Really.

Being a positive person I pretty much have hope in my heart every day but more so now than EVER before. Try to keep it alive in your heart too.

I know it’s not easy – believe me I really do – but I think it’s important enough to make it my “mantra” for the week…………….HOPE.

Make it a GOOD and hopeful week! Love, Pam

Hi everyone! It’s me with a quickie message – TODAY is the last day to enter the Halloween Costume Contest! Tomorrow we have Teaser Tuesday class and there will be a voting poll with all of you who have entered in it and people will be voting for their favorite. Do you want to be in the poll? Then get your photos to us TODAY! Voting will be all day tomorrow………..with the winner/most votes being announced on Wednesday’s Teaser Tell All post!

Don’t forget – there’s a prize for the winner. Hope to see you in a costume in our inbox TODAY otherwise it will be too late.

Hugs, Teddy

When you lose hope life loses meaning. We must all keep hope burning in our hearts.
My hope for the moment is that they will let me home again tomorrow.

Yes, hope — the very best of the four-letter words, haha. We, too, feel hope each day and love your sparkle and good heart coming to us often. Love from us all. Sometimes a little bite of chocolate helps, too, haha.

  Yes you’re right – it is life crushing to feel hopeless and we just have to avoid falling into that dark pit if we can – keeping our thoughts on the LIGHT side helps!

Hope is a little hard to come by these days, but the alternative is totally not acceptable. We pray that once this stupid election is over, our government can get back to working toward getting this virus under control and helping those who are jobless with no more unemployment benefits available. Our country is hurting so badly. Thanks for a great Spark. Love to all.
