Monday Sparks


 Even though McGuffy's reader is taking a break, we are continuing our Monday Sparks posts!  From the original Sparks posts:

Welcome to Sparks. Many years ago, it was my intent to post an inspirational thought each Monday. It would be my weekly meditation, and perhaps feed other people's spirit as well. Life got busy, and this fell by the wayside. Now, I feel a strong need to bring this feature back. 
The negative energy in the world has become thick and oppressive. Social media has become a part of this dark, negative storm. There is an obvious universal need for more positive energy and peace. And, we can all be part of this affirmative change. 
I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world!
I hope you will join us. Please link up a positive quote, thought, poem, or verse. The badge and code can be found in my sidebar. Add the badge to your post to invite others. The more, the merrier. I welcome your thoughts. Peace.

I often hear my voice chiding myself in Dutch or English, like when I do something that fails or makes a mess, etc...but I really don't bully myself, at least I don't think so.
We have to build ourselves up to not fall into the pity me trap.

That's a great spark and actually a little bit difficult for me to follow.

Wonderful Spark words to live by. Words can be very hurtful..and lots of people have no filter on their mind or what comes out

Sharon, I love this Spark. Sometimes our own negative self talk can totally undermine our self-esteem. I am upset I didn't have a Spark today. I just couldn't find what I wanted. Sawyer sends Noelle purrs, love and paw hugs. Hugs and love, Janet

Now that is a total winner of a spark! We ought to be mindful of that every single day.

That's good advice, but hard for me to follow.
