Today's Smiles

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

Watch a Clever Raccoon Knock on Door

Ravens Can Talk!

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.

You can't bring back or change the past.  You're not promised the future.  So focus on enjoying life while you can.


Hang in there.  No storm lasts forever.  Better days are coming.


Sometimes you have to accept that certain things will not go back to how they once were and trust the journey you're on.






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!

  9. That talking raven was interesting. I had no idea they could do that. I understood him better than I do some birds that are known to be talkers.

    Have a fabulous day Linda. ☺

  15. Wonderful job once again with your selections, those videos were so funny and cute! Love LOVE the raven-so cool! And good quotes :) Personally, I need to work on ingraining those ideas instead of "Oh no, some thing is wrong, the whole cause is lost!" Thanks Linda! Have a good day :)

  19. Well, you know I think highly of Karen Salmansohn, so thanks for these posters! She speaks to us in a special way. And I love cats. Raccoons I don't love but they are very smart and can be cute. When we lived in Pennsylvania, a bunch of them would climb a long wooden staircase to a landing where we kept our garbage and then they'd pry open to lids and help themselves, leaving us a mess to clean up! :) Hope all is well with you.

  27. Hi Linda! I love that cute raccoon. When we were on a camping trip when I was little I gave a Popsicle to a raccoon and it tried to wash it in the stream and it melted! It was so confused, poor thing.

  30. Ravens can talk? No, thank you - they're so big, bigger than our crows, also black - the same as our crows and also don't look all that likable. Our mynah can talk too, smaller and nicer - make ideal pets:

  39. je passe avec une chape de plombs sur le dos , et le ciel qui pleure ce matin ... on avait toujours stupidement cru qu'en ouvrant les bras a tout le monde , sans haine , sans guétto ...

    que nous serions protégés de la douleur et de la violence ....

    on avait vu les attentats en France , mais avant ça en Espagne ou a Londres et on pensait "mon dieu le mais pas chez nous ".... et hier ... Bruxelles ouvre enfin les yeux ....

    et voit le sang et la mort ...

    mais je veux croire qu'on va revoir le soleil ... que la haine ne gagnera pas , on ne laissera pas le règne de la terreur nous prendre la liberté ...

    la Belgique a comme devise "l'union fait la force" ...

  40. Trusting the journey you are on can be so hard; but what I have discovered so far in my life is that the worst things that happened to me always led to a much better place. Hugs to you my dear friend!

  50. Ravens and crows are such incredible, intelligent creatures. You can see it if you observe them in the wild. They always seem to be powerfully aware of the world around them. It's easy to see why Poe centered one of his most famous works around them.

    Many hugs & joyful start of spring wishes,
    ♥ Jessica

    *PS* And a big thanks for your wonderfully nice blog comment today. With all my heart, I hope that this new season is a better, gentler one for you, dear Linda.
