Friday Fun

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all!
The videos I have selected for this post are:

A Just for Laughs Gag/Juste pour Rire

Old Dutch Christmas Song

Sniffer Dogs in Action at Gatwick Airport

Christmas in Killarney - Irish Christmas Song


Could it be Magic - Barry Manilow

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.

Why feel blue when there are so many other colours you can feel.


There will be haters and doubters and then there will be you proving them wrong.


Do not let yourself be surrounded by people who will peck, peck, peck you to death like a duck. - Maya Angelou


If someone is stupid enough to walk away from you, be smart enough to let them go.


It's been a while.  I'm not who I was before.  You look surprised.  Your words don't burn me anymore. It's just a brand new kind of me.  I found a brand new kind of free. - Alicia Keys


Despite how open, peaceful and loving you might be...people can only meet you as deeply as they've met themselves.  This is the heart of clarity.


Challenges make great compost for growing a better life.


I am going to be happy.  I'm going to smile a lot.  I'm going to be easy.  I'm going to count my blessings.  I'm going to look for reasons to feel good. I'm going to dig up positive things from the past. I'm going to look for positive things in the future.  It is my natural state to be a happy person.  It's natural to be a happy person.  It's natural for me to love and to laugh.  I am a happy person. - Abraham Hicks


Inner peace comes from the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions.


We all feel heartache and pain.  It just comes in different forms.


It takes a strong heart to love.  And it takes a truly strong heart to love again after being hurt.


Don't worry about people who aren't happy for you. They probably are not happy for themselves either.






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!

  2. Barry Manilow, another favourite of mine...and at this time of year, his song, "It's just another New Year's Eve" comes to mind... Love it!

  20. I was surprised to see how many people became irritated at the old man and his soccer ball. How much effort does it take to give a little joy to a simple old man by joining in a game with him? At first, I thought the girl was just sad over something in her own life; but then she seemed to be vindictive. I enjoyed the video, but it didn't make me laugh this time. Love the sniffing dogs, though. I really enjoy watching working dogs work.

  24. The old Dutch Christmas song is quite familiar.

  25. The younger generation seems to be so indifferent and annoyed at that old man wanting to play ball.
    Thanks for your comment on my blog and have a great day.

  33. Oh those Irish, they are a jolly bunch, aren't they? I was married by an Irish Catholic Priest, and he was such a joyful man. I really liked your quotes on here today. Some of my favorites were "peck peck peck." Maya Angelou is my very favorite. "Why feel blue" was another good one. I also loved "It takes a strong heart" - do you know who wrote this quote?

    Wishing you a wonderful Christmas, Linda. So glad to have met you in this grand blog land of ours. ;)

  37. Love your new header photo. That old man in the gag is lucky someone didn't toss that soccer ball toward his head! :) Some nice music but again, Salmansohn comes through - she's got so many ways of saying things that are very helpful!

  38. The graphics really ministered to me today, Linda. Especially the ones by Karen S. Amazing how you find this stuff that lifts my heart and makes me smile!

    Hugs,

  40. ... the sniffer dog video was precious, L ... reminds me of my black lab Piwo (rest his soul) ... he sure as hell knew a day before my migraines would start ... he would never leave my side ... sometimes he would walk so close to e, that I would stumble over him ... he sure prevented many of "explosions" in my head that way, as I was taking the migraine med in time then ... Love, cat.

  41. A long time ago, my part Irish husband and I were looking for a house and found a special house on Kilarney Lane on St. Patrick Day...we bought it of course. The Irish Christmas song reminds me of that.
    My husband and I went to Berry Manillow concert...he was so funny. He was young, we were young...time flies, right?
