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.

Love this thought and we practice it - every morning - Mom is a "smiler" and our house cheerleader. Dad can sometimes be grumpy in the morning but Mom's smile makes HIM smile which makes ME smile so we always start out happy!!

Hugs, Teddy

Wonderful Spark. Mom has taken a screen shot of it. She asked us to tell you that Sawyer’s urn has been shipped. She thought she might get a final photo before that happened, but she didn’t. Anger Sawyer sends Noelle his forever love.
