If you love someone let them know.  Hearts are often broken by words left unsaid.


When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you. - Unknown


And I knew it was bad when I woke up in the morning and the only thing I looked forward to was going back to bed.


Live your life from your heart.  Share from your heart.  And your story will touch and heal people's souls. - Melody Beattie


Right now, this very second, wonderful things are happening all over the world.


Be so busy doing what you love that you have no time for bitterness and hate.


It is what it is.  But you have the power to turn it into an...isn't so bad.


Create a life based on choice, not the momentum of the past. - Rod Stryker


If you want to love yourself completely, don't hate experiences from your past.  They helped you to become who you are today. - Steven Aitchison


Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you.  Do not worry if your life is turning upside down.  How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the side to come? - Rumi


Sometimes you have to unfollow people in real life.


If you have time to whine and complain, they you have time to do something about it.


With each new day we are given new hope, new possibilities and new opportunities.  Each new day is a miracle.




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. Baby animals of all kinds seem to have the same "cute" factor and react in such similar ways to all kinds of things!

  3. The baby otter is so cute. It is so amazing to see the little kitten and little duckling sleeping together. I love the "doggie in the window" song when I was just a kid. Such a long time ago!

  15. I LOVED : When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.

    I think so often we get caught up in this whirlwind of purpose and forget to stop and listen. Real life has plot twists.

  16. The Cleese, Sellers, and Starr video is hilarious! I had an OMG moment the moment he starts cutting into the painting.

  17. Hi Linda, more wonderful choices today. The surfing video is inspirational, sweet little otter, kitten an ducking. I have never seen the Starr, Sellers and Cleese video before. The Doggy in the Window, my mom and I would sing that together. And I always enjoy reading those wise words and looking at all the pretty illustrations. Thank you and have a wonderful day :)

  28. Beautiful my friend! Thank you so much! Many wise words said!! Big Hugs! I hope you are well!

  29. LOL!! Love the quote about whining, Linda! So true! Besides, when we complain, we are trying to blame someone else for our lot in life, or thinking we have it worse. Thanks for the encouragement, Linda. Just think, every time you publish, you have revealed yourself, and revealed our true selves to us, AND BEST OF ALL, you encourage us to be our best selves! Thank you for being such a good friend! XXOO

  39. Hi Linda! I hope you are having a good week! Mine's been very busy! I'll be glad when it is behind me. The Starr, Sellers, Cleese video was so funny, the amputee surfers inspiring, and that baby otter just adorable. I used to sing "How Much Is Tat Doggie in the Window" a lot when I was little. I'm really tired, so I'd like to curl up with that kitty ~ move over duckie! On second thought, I'll take the kitty on the clouds! Sending you hugs and love!
