Sparks
Annie of McGuffy’s Reader is hosting Sparks, an inspirational and positive thought for the week link-up, every Monday.
“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, we can all be part of this affirmative change.” ~ McGuffy Ann Morris
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Melody Beattie

Sandee,
WOW, isn't this the truth! Gratitude definitely makes the life/heart fuller and places one's perspective on track. Excellent "Sparks" and what an adorable "Aww Monday" pix. Have a blessed week, dear friend!
It sure does, Cathy. You have a blessed week too. 🙂
That's a lovely quote and a good thing to keep in mind as we start a new week. Love the kittens. I'd be grateful to have them 🙂
You can have both of them, Ellen. Yes the quote is one to live by. 🙂
A lovely Awww picture, and that is so right about gratitude!
I think so too, Mimi. I love these Sparks posting each week. 🙂
A little gratitude can go a long way. Love those two little cuties in the picture
Often much further than we know. 🙂
Gratitude sure makes one feel so much better. Great Spark Sandee. And those two kittens are just adorable. Sandee, you and Zane have one wonderful day.
It sure does, Marg. So simple too. 🙂
Very cute kittens. Excellent spark too, gratitude does make everything even better than it already is. Have a great week! XO
Gratitude does make everything better. You have a great week too. 🙂
Adorable kittens ~ but not sure where to link up ~ here or McGuffrey?
A ShutterBug Explores
I didn't bother to put the linky on this post even though I did it in my side bar. Brain fart I guess. 🙂
Cutie kitties under the carpet…wonderful colour combination!
Have a great day!
I thought so too. Very unique coloring. You have a great day too. 🙂
Cute kitty picture! And how much happier we are when we are grateful for what we have!
Yes indeed. Being grateful is a good thing. 🙂
Annie of McGuffy's Reader is totally correct and it occurred after the American election. My cousin is an American and he's frustrated with what is going on with the results what is going on in his country. I worry also because it can affect my country Canada. I see the problems all sit in the White House because there is no respect to anyone. I pray that eventually life will come back to show respect with one another. See ya.
Cruisin Paul
PS Those kittens were cute.
No it's been occurring for a very long time. Trump isn't the problem, Paul. You and I will disagree on this. He's upsetting the apple cart and it so needed being upset. I will say it again, I voted for Donald J. Trump. I couldn't and wouldn't vote for Hillary. I've told you this before.
Yes the kitties are cute. 🙂
There's always one who isn't looking at the camera..always. Have a blessed day.
They just don't care about cameras. Good for them. You have a blessed day too. 🙂
Aw kittens! So true about gratitude, and how hard to maintain an attitude of gratitude and contentment.
If we work at it we can have an attitude of gratitude and contentment. 🙂
Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzz from NY! Have a bkessed and magical holiday season Sandee..you deserve it !! xoxoxox 🙂
Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzz back, Angel. You have a blessed and magical holiday season too, because you deserve it. Love you. 🙂
Powerful Sparks. I could not agree more. This is the key to much of what we seek. Thank you, Sandee. I love the way you think. HUGS!
I'm glad you like the way I think. I like the way you think too. HUGS back. 🙂
That is definitely an Awwww photo for a dreary Monday in my corner of the world. I love the gratitude quote. It speaks so well of how adopting an attitude of gratitude can improve how we view everything! Hope your week is a good one.
Yes, approach to things is key. We can see the best or the worst. Let's see the best and be thankful. 🙂
Wonderful thoughts and thank you for sharing!
You're most welcome. You have a great week. 🙂
Aww this is super cute! Happy Monday and December to you my friend 🙂
December is marching right along. You have a happy Monday and December too, Jen. 🙂
Aww! you find the cutest kittens Sandee
I totally agree ith all the negative energy in the world it's at it's peak here in the UK at the moment too
Have a positivelytasic AMS :-f
It seems to be running amok everywhere, Steve. I'm so tired of all the negative stuff. Find some good to talk about and leave the negative behind. 🙂
So much cuteness–makes me almost want to get a kitten…almost
I would have kitties if I wasn't allergic. They are most fun to have. 🙂
super cute.
Yes indeed, Mike. I like super cute. 🙂
Big Awwww!! Whenever I see kittens I can't believe my Princess was ever that small.
Love your spark and I really believe that practicing gratitude every day can do all that and more.
Have a really great week.
Yet they were that small. They just grow up so very fast. Oh well. You have a great week too, Pamela. 🙂
A snug as a kitty in a rug.
Exactly. You're dealing with chocolate issues and these two are dealing with a rug. Yours is more fun. 🙂
I LOVE the gratitude quote! I am going to put this one on my wall as I think I need to look at it when I write in my Gratitude Journal.
Thank You!
Love Barb
Excellent idea. I think I'll do the same. Have a great day Barb. Scritches to Marv. 🙂
It's that time of the year. We're all so busy with all the holiday things. It's hard to stay ahead of the curve. 🙂
The kittens are so cute!!!
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life". Wise words, Sandee.
Kisses, my friend.
Thanks, Mia. Gratitude does unlock the fullness of life. Well put. 🙂
What an adorable pair.
I thought so too, Rhonda. Love the colors. 🙂
I like what Melody Beattie wrote about Gratitude. Cute kitties!
A very wise woman indeed, Nancy. 🙂
I'll take one of each, please. 🙂 Have a wonderful week!
I would love to have both of these cuties. They are most adorable. 🙂
Awwww, indeed. ~grin~ What a lovely quote! Thank you for sharing.
I love Awww Mondays. I too love the quotes. 🙂
Social media is full of negative energy its a sad thing. I am a part of this affirmative change, I do my best to spread positive energy everywhere I go 🙂
Great post Sandee!!! the Kittens are so sweet.
We all need to love each other more. It's that simple. Respect and love. 🙂
Brian the Snake says to tell you Sandee that he could unhinge his jaw & swallow both those kitties whole. He wants to know if you're impressed by that amazing feat?
I'm impressed by everything Brian the Snake does. 🙂
Wnderful quote, so true. And the kittens are definitely an AWWW!
Two good things to do every Monday. 🙂
