SPARK and Reminder

Monday means SPARK day!    Just a way of starting the week off with a thought that just might get you through the week.  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.

The longer the virus issues are with us the more time we have to think about our friends and family and US too.     That’s why I have this SPARK to share today.

A lot of us aren’t able to get together with our friends and family right now  AT ALL or at least as much as we are used to doing.    Doesn’t mean they are any further away in your heart though!  Send an “old-fashioned” card or letter – now there’s a novel idea!  OR an email or do FACETIME or some other computer-visiting thing.   Stay in touch – one day soon we’ll all REALLY be TOGETHER AGAIN.

 

   

Hugs, Pam

Whatever you do, don’t forget tomorrow is Teaser Tuesday – the Professors would be UPSET if I didn’t remind you – brush up on your geography and GOOD LUCK guessing where the photo was taken.    Who knows – you just might win a badge to show off!!   GOOD LUCK.

Monday is here again………………..and it’s time to SHARE A 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.

I really love looking for a SPARK quote for my Monday posts.    I read so many extraordinary thoughts and words before I find “THE” Spark that I want to use.    This one really did grab me and reflects how I REALLY feel at this stage of my life.    Maybe it will speak to you too???

I would like to look back one day and be proud of myself…………..I actually am already proud of some of the things I’ve accomplished and gone through as gracefully as I could.   I’d like to finish up like that too.

Hope you have a super Monday………….a fresh start in a NEW week……………………………….perfect day for a SPARK isn’t it!

Love and Light, Pam

Professor Teddy asked that I remind all of you who attend Teaser Tuesday Class that tomorrow IS Tuesday and you’d better not be late to school (which is hard because the school bell rings at a random/surprise time every Tuesday!).    He and Professor Angel Sammy would be terribly disappointed if you didn’t show up………..you don’t want the Professors to be sad right?   Then stop by and try to figure out where the photo they will post was taken.   It’s rarely EASY but it’s always FUN.

See you in class gang – OR ELSE (hahaha)

SPARKS and Reminder

Happy Monday!   Time for us to post a SPARK for the week!  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.

Sometimes it’s tough to keep hope in your heart about something………..I’ve blogged about this as well as “SPARKED” about this (!) before but in tough times – and we all have those once in a while – it never hurts to remind ourselves about the value of HOPE.    Here’s the quote I found that touched me the most:

Well, I happen to believe in magic just like I believe in HOPE.    The words here describe just what I do when I am hoping for something – hold it like a light within you.    Focusing on it – making it shine bright and STRONG.    Miracles do happen and that is a lot like magic!

Happy, Hopeful Monday!

Love, Pam 

Calling all cats!  Don’t forget tomorrow is Teaser Tuesday – be purrrpared – when you get to class be sure and COMMENT!

SPARKS and a Reminder

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………………………

Hugs, Pam

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).

SPARKS on Monday And Reminder!

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.

 

So what’s the deal on this SPARK?    It’s our way of saying – EVERYONE should take a bit of a break.    Everyone includes US here at One Spoiled Cat.    Mom, Dad, and I are taking a few days off and we’ll be BAAAAACK to our usual silliness this coming Thursday, the 10th but no blog for Tuesday or Wednesday.    That means NO TUESDAY TEASER.     Can you STAND to be away from our craziness for a couple of days?    I can tell you that I’ll be at the fabulous Kitty Spa called Paws A While and my Mom and Dad will be in their “HAPPY PLACE” they visit every year.   Just a quick break…………..we all need that from time to time.

We will miss you though…………………..really!    See you on Thursday for Thankful and Poetic Thursday.

Teddy (and Mom Pam too!)
