Day 435 - Sparktitude

Sparktitude - my new word for gratitude the Spark way...

I had a great phone conversation with Jane today. I love talking to her - she always makes me laugh and her energy and positive belief is just infectious! I'm glad that the recovery from her knee surgery isn't keeping her from walking and inspiring the other guests at the care center!

My friendship with her, which is still relatively new, and with a few other people that I've met on Spark, just reminds me that there is something really special about this place. Our shared journey gives us a connection that we don't necessarily find in real life. And, interestingly, it's sometimes hard to convince our real-life friends to try Spark and discover all the great tools and guides to help them achieve the goals that we've been able to achieve for ourselves.

I love my SparkFriends, and I'm grateful for all of you every day. You inspire me and encourage me. I really wouldn't still be where I am without your continued support. I know that this is the time when I tend to fall back on old habits, but I'm counting on the new habit of exercise to keep me going every day.

So thank you all, and a special shoutout to a few of you who have been especially awesome over the past year. I couldn't have done this without you!

Keep Sparking, friends!
