Mid-Week Selections and a Birthday Coming

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all! Tomorrow...Thursday, October 27th is my birthday, and I will be 60!  :)  Since I post on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I just wanted to mention it today.  :)  For this post I thought I would give a look back on how I celebrated my birthday four years ago by sharing this old post from 2012. Enjoy!  Just click on the following link:  My Birthday at Chalet Bar-b-q in 2012

And I am asking for your prayers and thoughts on my behalf.  I went to my doctor a couple of weeks ago because I was having quite a bit of pain.  Some of you know that I already have osteoarthritis and the beginning stage of osteoporosis.  Well, the pain I was having was arthrosis.  I have been having quite a bit of pain and I even had a migraine headache last night, which thankfully is extremely rare for me. Thank you all so much for your love and support, it really means a lot to me.  Love and hugs to you all!

The videos I have chosen for this post are:

Trending:  Mother Goose Calls on Police Officers to Free Her Baby

Karl the Courtroom Therapy Dog

Solitude - Gheorghe Zamfir

Weinherbst in Lower Austria


Le Chateau - Starring Filou - (Le Chateau is a fashion company with retail stores throughout Montreal.  It sells clothing for both men and women).  Filou is a beautiful Jack Russell Terrier.  This TV ad was done here in Montreal over a year ago.  Enjoy!

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.

Having real friends is so much better than having more friends.


Sleep doesn't help if it's your soul that's tired.


Don't push away the people who truly care about you, because one day, they won't come back.


Happiness blooms from within.  Have a great day.


Make a decision to talk about why you're blessed, not stressed.  You give life to what you focus on. - Kristen Butler


Choose people who choose you.


Don't let past ghosts spook away present gifts.


Be patient.  Things will change for the better soon enough.


Being afraid of things going wrong isn't the way to make things go right.


Do good for others.  It will come back in unexpected ways.


Let it hurt.  Let it heal.  Let it go.


Yes, I have my challenges.  But I will breathe and know that I am acting at my highest level of intelligence, intuition and emotional intelligence needed to find a way to the best solutions.






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!  :)

  12. Hello Linda, first of all, I want to wish you the very happiest birthday for tomorrow! Then to say I’ve just read and enjoyed your post from 2012, thank you for sharing the link. Thirdly but probably most importantly to tell you I’m thinking about you and hoping you get relief from all that pain. Osteoarthritis is such a horribly painful disease. I don’t suffer from it but my dad did, and I know how horrible it can be. He also had rheumatoid arthritis in his hands so a real doubly whammy! I’ve been having treatment for osteoporosis for almost ten years, which culminated in daily injections for eighteen months – now thankfully finished and back to twice yearly infusions at the hospital. I got very good at injecting into my tummy or my thighs each night but am glad not to have to do it anymore. N of the pills I was on helped, but the injections have really made a difference.
    Now to look at today’s treats from you. I’ve seen Solitude by Gheorghe Zamfir, but all the others are new to me.
    Thinking about you and wishing you a very Happy Birthday, hugs Barbara

  21. The Filou movie was the best! This morning, Lois Anne and I went for a bike ride and we came upon a beautiful young dog who followed us for a long way...it had no collar so we don't know to whom it belonged. Finally, it saw a truck with some workmen nearby and ran to greet them. We sped on our way. Have to wonder, though, where it came from. Hopefully, it will find its way home.

    So many good posters and a couple that I really needed to read again today.

    Happy Birthday to you! I'm to the point where I count every birthday as a blessing as I know there aren't very many left. Enjoy! And I hope that your pain is alleviated and that you can enjoy the wonders of this life to the fullest extent!

  39. Hi Linda, Happy Birthday... Today is the Day! 60 years old...just a youngster. I turned 74 back in July. Wishing you the best with your ailments, especially the pain which can wear a person down. Since I've retired, it's been a hip replacement, with another scheduled on 11/1, 2 carpal tunnel surgeries and prostate surgery for cancer. The pain is the real downer...not all the repairs. Loved that mother goose story. One smart dedicated moma, that's for sure! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  40. Wishing you a happy birthday and all the best in coping with your pain. I find that a combination of ice, heat, gentle massage and meditation help. I hope the package for your friends reaches you soon.

  41. Bonjour Linda. Je te souhaite un très bon anniversaire et j'allumerai une petite bougie pour toi pour que tu aies une bonne santé et croquer la vie à pleine dents ; 60 ans jeune ça mérite un délicieux gâteaux ma belle ; ) Bisous et merci pour partager tes trouvailles avec nous. ;)

  43. Have a wonderful day Linda! Sending you many prayers and healing thoughts. Thank you for visiting my blog.

  44. The painting of the kittens is beautiful. I hope you are enjoying a very happy birthday! Sending prayers your way for better health. Headaches are no fun.

    You had several great quotes today. I liked the ones about doing good to others, and focusing on the blessings.

    Choosing people who choose you is a good point as well. When I first started blogging, I visited a lot of blogs and commented. But some of the bloggers I read basically ignored my comments and very existence. It is a lot funner to have blogging friends like you who actually communicate!

    And real friends are much better than more friends. Quality conversations leave me so happy, but quantity of conversations without quality is just draining. :)

    Have a beautiful day! God bless.

  45. Bonjour Linda,
    Je te souhaite de tout mon coeur un très bon anniversaire. 60 ans, tu es encore toute jeune ! (je me dirige vers les 64 ans !!!!) Oh ! que le temps passe vite ... Je te souhaite une bonne santé puis des tas de petits bonheurs tout au long de cette année. Félicitations également pour ton très beau blog. "Happy Birthday Linda" Je t'embrasse

  46. Hi Linda! I'm so sorry for your medical issues, I had to look up arthrosis. I'm glad you have a good diagnosis, and I hope you will get the therapy you need, you will be in my prayers.
    I loved the pan flute video, 'Solitude'. I have a CD of pan flute music, and it always calms me.
    I hope you have a good day today my friend,
    Ceil

  47. Happy birthday Linda. Hope you get some help with the pain you are going through. I find those slow release anti inflammatory capsules are more beneficial than regular pain killers, not suitable for everyone though. Well I must say mother goose fairly tickled me, we may all get quicker response if we kept a goose.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Dear Linda Happy Birthday. Hope it is wonderful. I will also be praying for you to be pain free and well. I have heard migraines can be so painful. By the way I turn sixty in a few weeks. So we have a mutual celebration! Loved seeing the police officer rescue the baby. How smart was the mother goose! Solitude was so beautiful. Thank you for the lovely post. Now I will go check out your birthday celebration of 2012. Hugs!

    ReplyDelete
  49. YAYYYY! Today is your birthday! Aren't you excited to see 60? I just turned 65 4 days ago, and I feel so thrilled to be this age, at this time, around the people I enjoy, and just to experience life at all! I hope your day was extra special! xo

  50. I hope you had a good birthday today Linda and that you felt well for it. (i'm late to your party as it is 8 p.m. pacific time, so your day is probably over.. at least I know mine would be). Thank you for giving us the gift of your fun links and uplifting messages.

  53. That was an amazing story about the goose. I'd never have expected that. I'm glad the police officers followed her and were able to help the youngster. I'm so sorry you've been feeling poorly and hope relief is around the corner. Sixty is a big milestone, but I'm way ahead of you, paving the way. :)
