Weekend Food for Thought

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

Rats Show Kindness Toward Strangers

Victor Borge and the Opera Singer

Relaxing Nature Scene - Sunlight in the Forest over Calming Bird Sounds

Relaxation Music of Harmony and the Ocean for Stress Relief and Relaxation

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.

It's not about out shining others.  It's about letting your light shine bright enough to help those feeling lost find their own way back.


I over analyze situations because I'm scared of what will happen if I'm not prepared for it.


Our wealth lies not in what we have but in what we enjoy. - Unknown


To all the people who are loving and kind to me, thank you for the sunshine you bring into my life. - Brigitte Nicole


What do you do for a living?  I breathe...


There's one in every family.  :)


Those we love don't go away.  They walk beside us every day.  Unseen, unheard, but always near.  Still loved, still missed and very dear.


Coffee should be its own food group.  :)


A woman is beautiful when her passions define her more than her looks.


When you become calm and serene on the inside, the world becomes more calm and serene on the outside.


If there only was a vaccine to end meanness.


You can only see others as clearly as you see yourself.






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!

  3. Good morning Linda,:) I'm listening to the beautiful bird song in the forest as I write this, after laughing at the Victor Borge sketch,... he is a funny comedian and always makes me smile. Curious info about the rats, and lovely quotes, and art work. Thank you for sharing, and have a wonderful day.:)

  19. Hi Linda! I forgot how funny and deadpan Victor Borge was. Such a fun video. The image I really connected to was the one about overanalyzing. I am so guilty of that. Maybe I should learn to live with surprises!
    Have a great weekend,
    Ceil

  26. I like the study done on rats. Humans show kindness, too. Unfortunately, not on enough occasions. Victor Borge was always a favorite of mine...I guess I liked his snarkyness! :) Another wonderful post with many posters which speak to me and which I found helpful. Thanks much and I wish you a super weekend!

  31. Happy weekend, Linda xx I love the picture of the two cats close to each other. It gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. ^^

    It's not about out shining others. It's about letting your light shine bright enough to help those feeling lost find their own way back. <-- I hope I'm doing enough in this department. ^^

  36. I like this quote, "Our wealth lies not in what we have but in what we enjoy." Wealth is the little things that we get to enjoy and share with others, not what we have accumulated." Have a wonderful weekend!

  43. Oh thank you Linda! I loved the rats video and very much enjoyed Victor Borge and the opera singer as well. I had heard his name around but never really seen or heard any of his comedy and it was delightful. Thank you for lifting and lightening my spirits today :o) Love and hugs!

  48. Found the rats video very interesting as similar tests have been carried out with humans years ago and much the same findings occurred. You can see it all around in communities today where people used to living in diverse mixed groups like New York or London get on with each other far better, more or less, than mainly segregated groups where fear and distrust take over when any newcomers arrive into their midst. We are not that different after all :o)

    ReplyDelete
  49. Oh boy! I relate to the over analysis of situations! I know that I think too much, but even though I try to talk myself around it, those thoughts keep popping to mind.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I love those rats, Linda!
    As a child, I used to keep rats as pets...and they were so affectionate.:)
    I really like the quote about not outshining others. So, so true!

    Have a fabulous Sunday.:)

    Much Love & Hugs xoxoxo
