SPARKS on Monday

Happy Monday!    After a wild week of protests and problems and maybe some solutions – here we are starting off another week.    Time for us 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.

Looking every week for the right message to go with my feelings is what SPARKS is all about for me personally.    I express how I feel at that moment in time.    Below is THIS moment in time for me and maybe it will “ring” for you too?

This probably means different things to different people…………but it really got me thinking!     This is a time for expressing yourself – everyone does that in a different way.    One thing I have noticed lately is that a SMILE means a whole lot – I’ve always known that really but it feels “bigger” now than before.    I’ve done a SPARK about smiles before.    I try to keep a smile on my face all the time.    I like to think that because I do and if just one person sees that – they might smile.    I sure prefer seeing lots of smiles to seeing a lot of frowns that’s for sure!

Have a happy week…………………………stay safe………………………..they are expecting some spikes in Covid because of all the huge crowds getting together all over the world…….I hope that you all can stay healthy and safe!

Happy week ahead………..Hugs, Pam and Teddy too

Teddy says don’t forget tomorrow is Tuesday Teaser……………..I think you all know that by now……………but just in case!     Post will be at a surprise time and this week we have a GUEST TEASER!

SPARK on Monday and Reminders!

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.

Simple thought but it’s true…………………it starts with one and spreads……………smile and watch what happens around you!

Hugs for the Holidays, Pam

As for the REMINDER part of this post – of course the Professors of Ding Dong School wish me to mention that tomorrow is TEASER TUESDAY and when you arrive at class (at a top secret, unmentionable time) you must COMMENT FIRST before you sit at your desk – you might win a PRE-CHRISTMAS BADGE!!!!!!
