Monday Sparks

                           


  Today is a special day for our Mom....it's her 26th Floridaversary.   26 years ago, she arrived here driving the Friends FurEver van, Dad was driving the U-Haul and pulling Mom's Miata.  She had our sweet Angels Baschert, Sniffie, Cory, and Tamir in the van with her, and Dad had her Eskie dog, Katie, with him.   Now we're going back to our nap and our Spark!


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.

Lulu: "Happy Floridaversary! That is a long time in one place!"
Charlee: "Our Mama and Dada have been here for 23 years and that's by far the longest they ever lived in one place. Before here, they moved about every two years."
Oona: "Hm. And they say Oona is busy."

Especially take breaks, something which doesn't happen often here.

I wish you many happy returns of your Floridaversary.

That is a purrfect Spark, and we absolutely love seeing Reesie and Noelle snugging. Happy Floridaversary to Mom Sharon. We had no idea she’s been there for such a along time. Our mom is feeling very sad. Four of the kittens may be leaving tomorrow. She’s lost her phone, which has now run out of battery, so she can’t call it or use find my phone. She has not gone anywhere since she last had it, so it has to be in the house somewhere. She has spent the last two and a half days searching to no avail. Sending love to all of you from all of us. XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona & Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Sawyer, Kizmet, Audrey, Raleigh, Gibbs & Tali
