spunk
noun \ˈspəŋk\
spirit, courage, and determination
I love the trait of spunkiness. I love spending time around spunky people.
I hate when I feel that my spunk is getting squashed.
Spunk squashers, beware.
How do you keep your spunk?
I recommend exercise.
And don’t underestimate the power of some spunky music.
Good friends help, too.
And coffee, good coffee.
Here’s a look at our first day of spring in central Illinois:
Uhm, yes. Snow!
That’s okay, Spring is a spunky girl. You can’t keep her from busting her buds.
Just Make the Coffee 
Love your spunky post today!
Thank you, Dianna! Spunk is surely contagious, right?!
“Spunk squasher”…..thanks for expanding my vocabulary! I know that I don’t want to be a spunk squasher 😉
Spunk squashers are some of the worst types out there, Beth! 😉 They will suck you dry.
I love this post! And yes, it is contagious. 🙂
Just like negativity can be contagious. That’s why we need to guard who we spend time with.
Happy Spring you spunky gal!
You’re quite spunky, too and I’m glad you are finding your way back to it!
Dahlink – Even down here in Florida, we awoke to 48 degree temps. Agggghhh! My tomatoes are in the ground, beans coming up, corn planted and 48????
Your buds are much farther along than ours! Lucky you! And we are expecting some big snow this week! Hope it all melts by Easter!!! Enjoy your blog…glad you’re back with us again!!!
Thank you. This is an early spring for central Illinois. I hope we aren’t fooled. Good luck with the snow!
Your garden sounds wonderful – hope it doesn’t mind the cold too much. 😕
Spring sure is spunky! Lovely fun post 🙂
I hope you are feeling spunky, too.
You made me grin ..
One needs spunk when snow appears!
