Weekend Escape

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

Koko's Kittens are Growing

Mr. Bean at a Restaurant

Teen Invites Twin Brother with Down Syndrome to Share the Stage at his Graduation

Morning Birds - Churchbell

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.

Relax and enjoy the journey.  There is no need to rush through life.


One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you can't change.


Living with anxiety is like being followed by a voice. It knows all your insecurities and uses them against you.  It gets to the point when it's the loudest voice in the room.  The only one you can hear.


Love dissolves hate.  Kindness melts cruelty. Compassion calms passion.  Cooperation evokes love.


Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.


One of the sanest and most generous joys is to be happy over the good fortune of others. - Archibald Rutledge


Best friends stand by your side...through the good times and the bad.


Got wings?


She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines.  She was beautiful for the way she thought.  She was beautiful for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad.  No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks.  She was beautiful, deep down to her soul.  She is beautiful. - F. Scott Fitzgerald


Fear (F.E.A.R.) has 2 meanings: forget everything and run or face everything and rise.  The choice is yours!


Please know this now:  although you might be struggling right now, some day you'll look back and see how all you went through changed your life for the better.


Feeling stressed?  Close your eyes and imagine ocean waves.  Quiet your mind by envisioning the waves getting quieter and quieter until there's not even a ripple on the surface.






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!
