SPARK on Monday

Monday is here and so is another month.    November is a wonderful month – it’s “Pre-Christmas”, it’s “Full On Fall”, and most importantly it’s the month we set aside a day to be THANKFUL for all we have.

SPARKS is a Monday tradition – how did it start and what IS IT?  “SPARKS” was started by Annie McGuffy of McGuffy’s Reader but ended when her blog was hacked some time ago.  It was meant to be a way to start out each week with with a meaningful thought – something that spoke to each of us and hopefully everyone else who read it.   Although Annie isn’t currently blogging, a lot of us who enjoyed her SPARKS decided to keep posting SPARKS of our own.   Why?   Because sometimes we need a little “spark” in our lives and these posts were meant to at least be a PART of that effort.   Please feel free to post your own SPARK on your blog and let everyone know you have…….we get energy from each other that way!

I really do love Thanksgiving – I am thankful every day of the year for what I have and who I am and WHERE I am…………….but on Thanksgiving Day I think a lot about it more than any other day.    It’s always ALWAYS a “happy” day for me.   Since I was a kid.   I’m sure back then (oh so many years ago!) I was thankful that it was almost time for Santa Claus to come visit, and almost time for presents and snowman building but these days I am truly – and I mean this – THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE.    That my friends is the reason that I am HAPPY NOW.

Hugs, Pam
