In the past some of you have asked me how I find and/or choose the videos I share on my posts here. I love YouTube and find it is such a great source of information and entertainment. I am actually very selective in the things I choose, because firstly, I want it to be family friendly so people of all ages can enjoy, and secondly, it has to be something I like myself. If it doesn't make me smile, laugh, encourage me, help me to relax, etc., I don't bother sharing it. YouTube makes recommendations according to videos that one has watched previously, so sometimes their suggestions are good and I use them, but for the most part I choose the videos myself.
As for the images I share, again, I am very selective. If I do not like the image or the quotation, I move on until I find something I like. I try to have something for everyone, and I try to make my posts enjoyable and choose a wide variety of things that interest me to share with you. As far as the images go, I even choose how I wish to place them so that there will be a combination of dark and light images, nice colours and helpful, humorous or encouraging things. Well, that is enough for now. Thanks for listening. :)
The videos I have chosen for this post are:
A Just for Laughs Gag/Juste pour Rire
2015 Motivation - Good Days and Bad Days - Nick Vujicic
Meanwhile in Russia - Wild Fox Came to Fisherman on Frozen Lake
Watching the Sea from a Cliff - Soothing Nature
For the following, I am providing the link sources beneath each photo. You just need to click on the images to see a larger view.
Thank you all so much for visiting me here! I always appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share.
The man with no arms or legs is very inspiring. A friend loaned me his book. Love the little fox coming up to the fishermen. He must have been very hungry.
ReplyDeleteInteresting and very to know all these.
ReplyDeleteNick Vujicic's video is very touching and he always inspire me and encourages me. I like the wild fox and the fisherman video too...the fox must be very hungry.
ReplyDeleteYou Tube is a wonderful thing!!! Louis Dean LOVES it!!! He jokes that he plays music with the masters! He plays along WITH the great musicians like Marty Robbins, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and so many others!! He has learned so much from doing this!!!
ReplyDeletelook at your rose with many colours, bright and beautiful, and your words, opening up our hearts to blog friends is a huge step, and I am sure we all understand each-other heaps better.Hugs, Jean.
ReplyDeletepas farouche le renard! ici il y a un cimetière dans Bruxelles avec des renards , ils sont protégés mais on a retrouve souvent des morts, sur la route ....
ReplyDeletec'est élégant un renard :)
passe un bon dimanche
I love youtube too. That's how I used up all my bandwidth, my former internet provider. Present one ok, unlimited, can watch as much as I want.
ReplyDeleteAll these quotes are so true, Linda. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice sunday. Greetings from the Netherlands, Joke (Dutch abridgement for Johanna)
ReplyDeleteThe gag gave me a big smile on Snday morning, Linda... ! Thank you ! I feel prettty... !
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that video of the fox on the frozen lake. The fox is too cute and the landscape in the beginning of the video gorgeous. Have a lovely Sunday.
ReplyDeleteNick Vujicic's story is so touching!
ReplyDeleteToday you got me with the fox. What a wonderful video...the poor thing must have been hungry and was able to stifle his natural inclination to fear humans in order to get something to eat. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFavorite today is: the one with the kitty...it is better to looked back on life! I have plenty of "I can't believe I did that's."
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Deb
I cannot conceive of the time you must spend on each post and yet they are there to inspire each day. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAwwww the fox is so cute! He must have been very hungry. Lucky him to get yummy food from nice fishermen :-)

YouTube is for me very good source of knowledge and nice music.
ReplyDeleteGreetings :)
I'm a big YouTube fan myself! I like to watch a lot of beauty gurus.
ReplyDeleteIt shows that even wild animals like a fox approach humans when they are hungry.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
A good laught today too:)
ReplyDeleteYes! Nick is an inspiration for many. I love him speaks!
Sweet little fox. I supposed he was so hungry:)
Anyway, thank you for all that you share. You give room for everyone and you inspires:)
I enjoy Youtube too. Your videos and quotes are always so inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLinda I love visiting your Blog! You always have such fun and interesting things to see! Today I'm in love with that wild Fox! They are smart and charming little animals! I'm surprised they haven't been domesticated, they seem to really like people!
ReplyDeleteI find Nic so inspiring! He puts so much in perspective for me!

I sure can see you spent lots of time putting this lovely post together! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI really like that Joan Mitchell quote.
ReplyDeleteI tend to use Youtube for something to listen to while I work- most of what I listen to are film scores.
the waitress was very bounteous and thirsty? :-)))
ReplyDeleteyou choose the video's and images very well, linda!
Your blog is always a treasure to read. It's inspirational, cute, funny, and uplifting - all in one blog. I am so happy I found you. Thank you for all the time you spend searching for the right thing to share - you do a great job of coming up with just the right items.
ReplyDeleteLinda, you pick 'the best of the best' and I do appreciate that.
ReplyDeleteNick is truly inspiring ...
Thanks for another great post... happy Sunday
xx
Thank you for taking time to pick out the nicest videos, Linda :)
ReplyDeletethank you for taking the time and care to seek out videos and photos that do help many of us by boosting our mood and encouraging us to think positive :)
ReplyDeleteI like the quote next to the cat
ReplyDeleteYou have chosen nice videos again Linda, you always surprise us with them.
ReplyDeleteI love "the wisdom of Nick" - have you read his book? Seeing his faith and outlook makes me ashamed to complain about minor things.
ReplyDeleteLove this post!
Hi Linda! I'll bet people rarely think about how much work it takes to put together a post that satisfies the one posting it. I really like how yours looks, especially with the dark background that sets your images off. I thought the waitress from hell gag was infectious. How could one not laugh along with all the laughing faces? I have to say though, that ocean from the cliff video would not be relaxing to someone who doesn't like heights! LOL! By the way, I finally made smoothies with your recipes using almond milk. They were super! I kept chickening out on the almond milk part ~ silly I know, but I don't always jump in. The milk didn't thicken and go weird with blackberries and blueberries like it does with regular milk and soy. Much fewer calories and more calcium. I'm going to be making many more smoothies in the mornings, now that Terry is retiring in eleven days. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGood to read this posts.
ReplyDeleteSo true that we get what we give. I think the Bible says something along the same lines...cast your bread upon the waters and it will come back to you (paraphrased, not an exact quote). I do appreciate how you choose the videos. If I go to the JustForGags channel I have to screen them myself--so much easier to just relax and enjoy the ones you choose for here!

ReplyDeleteAgree with what was said above.
I think I have not been utilising Youtube very much, but I do love Youtube for its wide selection of videos.
Love the quotes you shared here. Indeed what we give is what we get.
