Mellow Monday

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

Hand Feeding Hummingbirds

Dinner Fork Door Lock

The Sole to Persevere

Here's to Today - Beautiful Alaskan Sunsets and Time Lapse Photography

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.

If we are not fully ourselves, truly in the present moment, we miss everything. - Thich Nhat Hanh


It's your very own journey, live it how you want to!


Today, take the time to slow down...live in the moment...appreciate your surroundings and celebrate all that is good.


Appreciate all that you have.


Today, know that the only approval you need to be worried about is your own.  When you accept how wonderful you are, your opportunities are endless.


It is up to you and only you to create the life you want, and to live each day surrounded by that which brings you happiness.


Be the change that you wish to see in the world. - Mahatma Gandhi


My goal is to build a life I don't need a vacation from.


Take care of the land and the land will take care of you. - H. Bennet


It's impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case you fail by default. - J.K. Rowling


I am so stoked!  :)


I have this weird feeling that I forgot to do something.  :)







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!

  28. oh my goodness- hand feeding hummingbirds- wow!

  29. NIce collection as always Linda. I guess I have gotten old enough to have built a life I don't need a vacation from (since we are retired and doing just about what we want to do)... of course the downside is being really old ;>). (I do know what the poster really means -- be working at something you love ... we did that, but sometimes you do still need a change/vacation when you are working no matter how much you love the job!!

    I love the red blanket background you have on your blog now -- it looks so warm and cozy for wintertime!
