Hello Monday! Time to SPARK………………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.

With holidays coming quickly (is it just me or is time speeding up???) it always hits me that we need to remember not just the “Reason for the Season” but to try and keep positive and upbeat not just for US but for everyone else too – those we see every day – strangers on the sidewalk – why is that? Because it will make you SMILE. People notice that. People like that – and it’s contagious. That’s the best part – everyone is smiling………….the SPIRIT has “got them” !!! That’s what’s behind this little message I’m posting today – when we carry the spirit in our hearts, WE put Christmas in the air – for everyone.
