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.

That Spark is a comfort when it comes to anxious feelings/thoughts.

Learned this lesson when stuck at the airport, waiting to be transported home.
It all seemed so up-and-down, but in the end, it all worked out.

It like that Spark lots!

That SPARK is absolutely true - I've always thought when feeling anxious it meant to try and understand what about something makes me feel anxious.....is it new? Is it scary? Is it too complicated? Whatever it is, I think if I understand it, I won't be anxious. Sometimes that works!!

Hugs, Pam

Exactly. Feelings aren't facts, they are indicators.

The other place you could donate would be Cat Haven.

And yet sometimes they are ... check out our Thursday post. Mom suffers from anxiety and panic disorder. She was a mess until 2000 when she finally got on meds. It is a good Spark and reminder.
