I wanted to thank you all so much for your kind responses to my post yesterday! It really means so much to me and touches my heart. It is great that even though many of us have never yet met one another face to face, how we can care for one another and offer our love and support. Once again, thank you so much!

Whoever angers you controls you.
Do not give up. It's amazing how things can turn themselves around.
You have it within you to rise above whatever is bringing you down.
Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place. - Kurt Vonnegut
If you want peace, you won't get it with violence.
- John Lennon
Sometimes there are things in our lives that aren't meant to stay...sometimes the changes we don't want are the changes we need to grow.
I've been stabbed in the back by those I needed most. I've been lied to by those I love. And I have felt alone when I couldn't afford to be. But at the end of the day, I had to learn to be my own best friend, because there's going to be days where no one is going to be there for me but myself.
Starting today, I need to forget what's gone, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what's coming next.
Wishing you a day that's buzzing with joy.
It's not the size of your house that makes a home, it's the size of your heart!
You're not crazy, you can do it. You're awesome! But you should probably get a second opinion, because I'm just an eggplant.
single socks meetup :)
Thank you all so much for visiting me here! I always enjoy and appreciate reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share!
Indeed! Violence begets violence! Same thing applies in child upbringing too.
ReplyDeleteJ'aime toutes tes jolies publications. merci. Bisous Linda
ReplyDeletethat video from 70 years ago instructing housewives how to prepare a buffet supper is fascinating ... it feels like a relic from a culture that's vanished in this 21st century :)
ReplyDeleteBonjour ma chère Linda,
ReplyDeleteUne nouvelle jolie publication. Du rire, de la délicatesse, de la sensibilité, tout est réuni pour passer un excellent moment.
Je vous envoie des petits nuages français accompagnés de petits coeurs !!
Gros bisous ☼
"What ever angers you ... controls you" ... that just totally blew me away, L ... in fact it made me cry ... so hard ... so hard ... here I am, trying to be strong and I am fighting, believe me ... and now that I read this saying ... I realize what controls me and has controlled all along ...I am a peaceful person with anger simmering inside .. but no more, because from now on I will work on that ...thanks for opening my eyes, L ... your blog is a god send ... blessed be ... Love, cat.

ReplyDeleteje te souhaite une douce journée
ici le ciel oscille entre nuage blanc et nuage noir!
c'est deja bien l'automne ..... les feuilles de mon cerisier deviennent jaunes et commencent a tomber ....

The glowing fish is mind blowing.
ReplyDeleteThose single socks. I think mine's there. And I don't know why it always used to happen to me when I was a student.
These packing videos are intriguing. They make it look so easy.
ReplyDeleteGosh, the glowing fish is extraordinary! Wish to rear some too. Hahaha! xoxo
ReplyDeleteA thought provoking post Linda, always so interesting and entertaining!
ReplyDeleteYou're right--we're always there for ourselves...my dog is always here for me, too. She seems to know when I need her and she cuddles close! Dogs are awesome that way...people, not so much.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Linda,
ReplyDeleteJ'aime beaucoup la citation de Kurt Vonnegut

Another lovely post. I am so glad you got lots of messages yesterday and trough this way I am sure you feel at least a bit better. Take care love! Liuba x
ReplyDeleteHi, dear Linda! How are you today? I very much enjoyed your selection of videos. The 1946 tutorial on Arranging a Buffet Supper reminds us how much formality and correctness there used to be compared to now, how many rules there were to follow to ensure that we made our guests feel respected. I am amazed to learn of all the species of ocean life that glow. I wish we knew for sure what purpose it serves. The tutorial on the best way to pack a suitcase offered very valuable advice which I will follow next time Mrs. Shady and I travel.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear friend Linda!
Dear Linda, I'm very happy that I noticed your post and the image with the text "Whoever angers you controls you" in my blog's Reading list. It is so true!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing these wise thoughts... and the great packing video! xx
Hi Linda, the glowing fish video is good. Yes, it is true that anger can control a person. Love the quote - its not the size of your house that makes a home, but its the size of your heart!
ReplyDeleteWho knew a lot of fish glowed in secret?
ReplyDeleteA wonderful list of motivations. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletebelle citation de John Lennon Linda
ReplyDeletehave a nice day
Loved the gag. The looks on peoples faces is something else.
ReplyDeleteI love the buffet table setup. That was amazing. We are so different now aren't we. Thank goodness. I've done a lot of these and not quite like this, but still acceptable.
Have a terrific day Linda. ☺
The Glowing Fish video is beautiful. I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI've concluded from the gag post that it is important to know what your boomerang is going to end up!
ReplyDeleteWhoever angers you controls you... I can agree with that.
ReplyDeleteA very good selection as always loved to know the kind of fish! Have a blessed day, kisses.

the single sock story is a nightmare sometimes ! Enjoy Your Tuesday Linda
ReplyDeleteHahaaa..., good gag, Linda !
ReplyDeletexxx.
great caption
ReplyDeleteBonjour Linda, que les citations sont belles, comme toujours! Bise et bonne journée toute douce!
ReplyDeleteMuchas gracias querida amiga, tu compañia es maravillosa y relajante. Un enorme abrazo.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I'll be there are not very many homes or places who worry too much about the etiquette of setting up a table or a buffet.
ReplyDeleteThat buffet video is a gem. They really went out of their way to set up that buffet. The video with a different soundtrack could be a clip from a horror or scifi film about humans controlled by some outside power. Kind of creepy in a way.

Thank you so much for brightening my day, Linda! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteOh Linda, I am having a bad day today, and your quotes just simply made me feel a whole lot better. I really loved "whoever angers you controls you" and the "BE SOFT" quote has always been a favorite of mine. In fact, I was thinking of putting it on a post real soon.
ReplyDeleteThat glowing fish video was very cool too. There are amazing creatures under the sea, aren't there? Thank you for shining your light today.
~Sheri
I really have to remember that quote about anger today!
ReplyDeletethe size of your heart is veryyyyy big, linda! ;-))
ReplyDeleteAnother great post. Great videos and quotes. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteYour quotes and videos make me smile :)
ReplyDeleteThe first two quotes are so true. Thank you Linda.
ReplyDeleteUnos vídeos muy bonitos, el gag muy divertido.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
the second quote is a reality, enjoy your Wednesday Linda
ReplyDeleteyou are a blessing.
ReplyDeleteWow, how did you find the 70 years old how to video? Compare to more current, how to pack your suitcase, it feels like slow motion, and they dressed like going to church or something....I'm saying in positive tone. Thanks for the really nice quotes.
