SPARK and Reminder

Standard

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 was looking for a graphic to express how I feel right now with all the uncertainty over the virus and worrying about it and the future then I realized as I actually already know (I do know it I just forget that I know it) – that we can’t worry because it won’t change a thing.    That kind of led me to look for something more along the line of “expectations” and I found this – which I LOVE LOVE LOVE:

Oh boy this one is really very true isn’t it?   Think about it…………..I know I’m guilty of looking back and seeing much of my past as some shining light of perfection when it was far from it……and I sometimes think about NOW as just about as bad as things could get……….and what’s ahead as something elusive and somewhat frightening because oh my goodness what if it’s worse than the present?????     Well, it’s all kind of silly really.    Our past is GONE………our future can be just about ANYTHING……and our present is SOMEWHAT in our control.    It’s not horrible – it’s just different than we probably thought it would be – who could have predicted the pandemic?   Probably some scientists could and did but the rest of us?    We will just COPE because that’s what we do – and if we do it together – our share of the load will be LIGHTER.

Hope you all have a great week……………………………..and resolve that today – the first day of this week – is the start of something BETTER.

Hugs, Pam

Whatever you do, don’t forget tomorrow Professor Angel Sammy and Professor Teddy will be holding TEASER CLASS at a surprise time.   Be there or be square (!) and be ready to examine a photo from SOMEWHERE and be the first to guess correctly where “SOMEWHERE” is!
