Happy Monday! SPARK time…………….“SPARKS” was started by Annie McGuffy of McGuffy’s Reader but ended when she stopped blogging 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.
I had a tough time choosing a SPARK for this week…………I found so many that really SPOKE to me. Since I had to choose one, this is the one I chose……It reminded me of a time in my life where I was “forced” to change. I thought changing would be a horrible experience but instead it put light back in my life when I thought I’d never have it again.
Actually I really LOVE this message……………we all want to feel secure but sometimes if you don’t MOVE along you miss out on the BEST things……………….

Oh, we are so glad you are cruising on a big ocean of life and surprises and sweet days with your darling husband and Teddy and friends and family. A great spark.

And how would we ever meet any other ‘fish’ if we stay in a tiny pond.

That’s right – we just have to avoid the sharks. LOL

Change is inevitable …. embrace it. Have a good week.

Yes I do the embrace thing now but had to LEARN that!

I find I need to be chased into the next thing— I’m stubborn. But, it was always for the better when I made a move out of the pond.

Changing isn’t easy – usually. But sometimes we’re “forced” out of the pond and whaddayaknow…..things worked out after all! We are more resilient than we think we are sometimes. I know I admit to that!!

Really, we are. We many of us just hate to go another path when the one we’re on is so well-marked and tested. Why…there may be alligators on that other path…we wouldn’t want THAT now…
LikeLike
No alligators allowed! Our comfortable path is tried and true and safe but sometimes we miss an incredible garden or a welcoming bench in the shade OR even meeting a special friend on another path…..STILL, you are right that there’s no place like HOME.

I don’t think I have ever been afraid of change. I packed up my car and followed Tom halfway across the U.S. after only a few dates. Guess that worked out okay. Two months until 50th anniversary. 😘🫶🏻 Janet
