It is a short English monologue by host Kim Gaskill offering a brief, uplifting/motivational message about the signs of spring (robins, daffodils) and encouraging listeners to find and anticipate small recurring joys in life.
It's a new day. I'm Kim Gaskill, and this is the Daily Spark. You hear that bird singing? The robins are out. The daffodils have bloomed. Spring is here. I love it. Those signs that tell you that spring is coming. For me, it's seeing the first robin hopping around in the yard trying to get the early worm. It's the daffodils that pop out and bloom. They're only here for a short time, and you wait, you see the green getting brighter and brighter on the shaft of the plant, and then you wake up and the beautiful vibrant yellow flowers have popped out. That's it. For me, that is spring. It makes me happy. Hopefully you can find something today that makes you happy. What do you have that you just wait for those signs and those signals, and as soon as they, they hit you, you know that thing is here? Think about that today. I hope you have something like that, and if you don't, find something. It's like a kid anticipating their vacation to Disney. Something to look forward to, something that brings you joy. We focus on our goals all the time, and sometimes we get a little discouraged and we get a little in our head, but you have to have those little things that bring you joy that only come periodically, and you can look forward to it, you can anticipate it, and you can celebrate it when it arrives. Find that for yourself today and enjoy the anticipation for its arrival. And join me again tomorrow for another Daily Spark.
