Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith.
I'm the type of girl who smiles to make everyone's day...even though I'm dying on the inside.
Imagine you are a lake...the surface of the lake changes according to weather, wind, rain, etc. But the depth of the lake remains always undisturbed. The depth of the lake is your inner state, not dependent on external things. - Eckhart Tolle
Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world would do this, it would change the earth. - William Faulkner
Today take a few minutes by yourself and simply listen.
There's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking.
Sometimes you have to just hang on and trust that life's storms are carrying you to better shores.
A long sleep and a good laugh are the two best cures for anything. - Irish Proverb
Don't change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love you.
I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life.
Do not give up. It's amazing how things can turn themselves around.
It is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything.
Stop overthinking. You can't control everything. Just let it be.
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!
Perhaps I should get a pool like that, lots of birds in my garden, no pool but then again, we are not allowed to have stagnant water outside the house - breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Perhaps the birds will eat up all the larva so it's ok?
ReplyDeleteThe kitty and donkey are so loving to each other. It takes a lot of strength and courage to smile when one is dying on the inside.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful week, Linda!
ReplyDeleteSleep and laughter - something I can always do with more of. :-) May you have sounds dreams and lots of giggles too Linda.

Another wonderful post to start the week, Linda! Leroy Anderson was one of my favorite orchestra leaders, and I love to see birdies playing in their bath. The posters, again, are very helpful.
ReplyDeleteLoved the bird pool party. The music made it even better.

ReplyDeleteYou have such a kind and loving blog- take care!
ReplyDeleteDearest Linda,
ReplyDeleteafter this period of 'interlude' which I had to allow myself due to work reasons - the Short Lets I manage here at Tenuta Geremia, the speech about the Empress of Austria I had to prepare and to perform at the conference which was held last Saturday at Madonna di Campiglio, in our Dolomiti, some works of restoration here and the family to join and follow took me far from the pc for more than a month and a half - it's such a treat to be here again, I've been missing you and your so beautiful, amazing blog so so much, sweet friend !
Hope you're doing well I'm wishing you a most wonderful new week ever, sending my dearest love to you
Xx Dany
Bonjour Linda, tout est superbe! Tellement mignon ces petits oiseaux qui prennent leur bain dans le basson... Bise et bonne soirée tout en douceur!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I love that "sleep and laughter" saying. So true. Have a wonderful week my friend!
ReplyDeleteThe kitten and donkey are a sweet pair.
ReplyDeleteI just got back from the oral surgeon and I was feeling so crummy until I watched your videos. Nothing like a kitten, a donkey and a bird bath party to take away the pain. Much love to you, Linda. XXXOOO
ReplyDeleteLove the Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith quote--good advice! And Flo putting an APB out on Santa Claus really made me smile. She has a great accent!
ReplyDeleteThe kitten and donkey video s so sweet. Looks like they are very good friends!
ReplyDeleteLove the bird bath. Thanks for the uplifting messages.
ReplyDeleteSuch loving animals, Linda! Seems they've become the best of friends ^_^
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,:) I've had toothache all weekend, and spent most of this morning at the dentist,.. now taking antibiotics, which are making me feel drowsy

Love the bird bath, and appreciate many of the verses.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week
All the best Jan
The "Imagine you are a lake..." really resonated with me. Thanks for the visit, Linda!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is about the Raphael Vavasseur Art, but I get such pleasure out of each image you post, Linda! I know the vibrant colors and stars are part of it, and they always make me relax.
ReplyDeleteThe donkey and the kitty were very cute, but they reminded me of the grizzly and the kitty in the previous post ~ which scared the heck out of me! I'd have been in a cold panic if that were my cat! Yikes, when that grizzly was picking the cat up or sliding the cat's tail through its mouth.
I've lived my life according to the William Faulkner quote ~ although I haven't heard it before. I was strongly impacted by the treatment of Jewish people during WWII and by the treatment of Aboriginals in Canada's North. I've been speaking out from the time I was little.
I hope you have had a good evening, Linda! I don't know about you, but I am glad to feel it cooling down. Sending you a big hug!
I love this - A long sleep and a good laugh are the two best cures for anything. - Irish Proverb
ReplyDeleteTrue! ^.^
You've touched my soul again! Thank you my friend! Big Hugs!
