Mid-Week Down Time

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

I Love Lucy Vitameatavegamin Clip

Tillman the Surfing Bulldog

Waterfall Dream Flute with Birds Singing

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.

I woke up.  I have running water.  I have food to eat. I have clothes to wear.  Life is good.  I am blessed. I am thankful.


It doesn't matter if the glass is half empty or half full...be grateful that you have a glass and there is something in it.


Fireflies are tiny magical messengers of hope...


Name one thing that you can be grateful for today.


Quick!  Think of a memory that makes you smile. That felt kind of good, right?  Next time you feel stressed or sad, do a "Mental Rental" and think about happy memories.


The problem is not that there are problems.  The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem. - Theodore Rubin


You know what is just as powerful as a good cup of coffee in the morning?  Starting your day with loving thoughts.  It can change how your whole day unfolds.


Being negative is like spraying yourself with anti-charisma.


Accept what is, let go of what was and have faith in what will be.


You deserve this.  Even when you feel like you don't. You do.  You deserve to have a healthy, loving relationship with yourself.  You deserve to stop hurting in secret and feeling shame.  You deserve to fully experience life.  You deserve to be heard and helped.  You deserve everything the negative voices say you don't.  You deserve to be happy.










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!

  12. Before I forget - that last painting by Raphael is just too cute! Those wee little mice! Heh, heh! Lucy we watched regularly back in the day. What a great character she was. Love that bulldog, too. He can surf in my sea anytime. And so many good posters about gratitude...you could have titled this post, "Gratitude."

    Have a wonderful Wednesday!

  29. Hi Linda. Who couldn't love the surfer? I'm guesssing that he has to be a British Bulldog?

    ReplyDelete

  36. The surfing bulldog is cute, but I can't even imagine how the surfing even started right back in the beginning. Did he just jump in the waves when he saw his owner hanging 10? ;-)
