To you...you're awesome. You're needed. You're alive for a reason. You're stronger than you think.
The future can be better. You have the power to make it so.
Someday, somehow, some way, you will find a path that takes you where you want to be.
I complete me.
Do not worry, my sweet one. Often it's just when you're ready to give up that your miracle arrives.
Move at your own pace and remember...a single tiny step you actually take is better than any big plan left undone.
Keep your heart filled with gratitude for all you have today...there's so much to be thankful for!
There is no magic cure, no making it all go away forever. There are only small steps upward; an easier day, an unexpected laugh, a mirror that doesn't matter anymore.
Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things more clearly.

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!
Aw. Such a sweet story about the ostrich and the elephant. We humans could take lessons.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda
ReplyDeleteI read your blog almost daily, it is an abundance of wisdom, funny or less funny videos, just as life plays. There is always something for me, with which I can identify.
I just can`t decide what I like most ;-)

Ekkkkkk!!! Mosquitoes! Didn't know they have so many needles. Shudders!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a nice weekend, Linda! :)
ReplyDeleteI do not like Mosquitoes Linda, they are nasty beasts. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Edward, and I don't know anyone who likes mosquitoes. Still, I found the video about them fascinating. :)
DeleteVideos fantásticos.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

The one about distancing yourself to see things more clearly is so true. Often it's hard to really understand a situation until you take a step back. Have a fabulous weekend :-)
ReplyDeleteI never realized 'til recently that elephants are very emotional animals and respond well to affection. The ostrich seems a bit out of place with the elephant, though. Love the 1940's kitchen...I reached high school in the 40s and it looks quite familiar. Those mosquitos are certainly blood-sucking good-for-nothings! Ugh! Bon weekend-a-tous.
ReplyDeleteI love the quotes today. It's inspiring to see so much positivity
ReplyDeleteAwww on the baby elephant and the ostrich. That's adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe 1940s kitchen. I'll pass. That's a lot of work.
I loved Bewitched. What a great show that was.
Have a fabulous day Linda. ♥♥♥
The kitchen, than..., wasn't it cosy, Linda ?!
ReplyDeleteThe ostrich and the elephant was a delight to see, such a lovely clip.
ReplyDeleteGreat videos. Love to watch baby elephant healing with friend ostrich. Bewitched was one of my favourite TV show when I was a kid. Over here we are fighting a war against mosquitoes.
ReplyDeleteHi. Great pictures and adorable the little elephant.
ReplyDeleteLinda, We used to watch Bewitched all the time...did't miss an episode! They don't make them like that anymore! The video on the English kitchen during the 40's and WWII was interesting. I can't remember our kitchens during those years but in the early 50's we did have a house that still had an outhouse (brick 2 - hole affair) instead of an indoor bathroom. Among my collectables, I do have a USA WWII ration book... Love the elephant and the ostrich! Animals are so much fun and so unpredictable too... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteCute and nice videos. Great quotes and art work. Have a blessed day and a wonderful weekend. Madeline
ReplyDeleteLove those encouraging words. I sure don't want to keep complaining about what I don't have...I definitely do "keep your heart filled with gratitude for all you have" :-)
ReplyDeleteBonjour Linda,
ReplyDeleteCet après-midi,je n'arrivais pas à te laisser un commentaire je ne sais pourquoi.
J'ai bien aimé la vidéo du Bébé éléphant et les cuisines des années 40. Elles avaient un certain charme.
Belle fin de journée à toi. Un beau bonjour de Haute Provence
I always enjoy that cat art.
ReplyDeleteLove that art...I just can't get enough of it!!!
ReplyDeleteAlways wonderfully, uplifting words and videos...thank you, Linda~
Great Quotes! So much Inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
un blog bien chaleureux que le tien, j'y reviendrai
ReplyDeleteamicalement
Really like the clock quote about keeping going! And I tried your cough syrup recipe and found it delicious-bonus! Thanks again :o)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to use this mosquito video on my blog and give you credit for finding it, if you don't mind. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi John, sure, I don't mind at all! Thank you so much, and I am glad you liked it and wish to use it as well on your own blog. Thanks, as well, for mentioning me, I really appreciate it. :)
DeleteOh the elephant and ostrich! That is so precious, I do wish more humans were more like that. : ) "Ask the animals and they will teach you."
ReplyDeleteSuch interesting things, wow, a 40s kitchen! the home I grew up in had an old kitchen.
You sure find some interesting and sweet things Linda to share! I always enjoy my visit to the Peaceful Place.
Blessings!
The elephant and ostrich were so cute!
ReplyDeleteCoucou Linda, impressionnant de voir ces maringouins de si près... Superbes citations comme toujours!!! Bisou, bon samedi tout en douceur!

Awesome video of the mosquitos Linda! Wonderful quotes!!!!! Enjoy the rest of the evening!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting friendship between an ostrich and an elephant, fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWeekend full of joy I wish you, Linda!
I hug you affectionately and thank you for visiting!
These are nice, Linda. My favorite is "Someday, somehow, some way, you will find a path that takes you where you want to be." That one fits, my Dad was like that too. He was always asking me if I thought that he could be doing what I was doing, what ever.
ReplyDelete..
I so love me elephants, Linda Dear!
ReplyDeleteMove at your own pace and remember...a single tiny step you actually take is better than any big plan left undone...
ReplyDeleteLovely collection...
Hay Linda,
ReplyDeleteOhhh....love love the first video so much...

A great post Linda. The videos are fun and interesting and always enjoy reading the wise words.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, wonderful post as always! Thanks for sharing the video and inspiring words. Happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteEl vídeo sobre los mosquitos muy instructivo no sabia que solo las hembras serian las portadoras de las enfermedades.
ReplyDeleteEl de la cocina de los años 40 interesante en especial para aquellos que lo vivieron y los que no para saber que no siempre fue tal como lo conocemos hoy.
El futuro si nos empeñamos todos realmente puede ser mejor.
Saludos.
Oh, my word, I so love the video of the little elephant and that of the kitchen of the '40 ... stunning !
ReplyDeleteWishing you a most wonderful weekend ever, Dearest, Wonderful Linda,
I'm sending my dearest love to you

beau travail de Raphal Vavasseur Linda
ReplyDeletehave a nice weekend
Oh, that first video. How lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Dear Linda - that orphan Baby Elephant video was so touching and enjoyed seeing the house of the 40's too. Things appeared so much different then...somehow we think it was a sweeter time and maybe it was! Hope you have a blessed weekend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSome excellent picks here again, thank you.
ReplyDelete"Keep your heart filled with gratitude for all you have today...there's so much to be thankful for!" So true!
Enjoy your weekend
All the best Jan
"Life is a journey and YOU hold the map." - I think that one is the winner today :) Greetings from Helsinki, Finland ! - Rita -
ReplyDeleteCoucou Linda.
ReplyDeleteMerci te ton passage chez moi.
Je découvre un blogue plein d’humour, la troisième vidéo est connue chez nous sous le nom de: "Ma sorcière bien-aimée" à l'époque j'aimais beaucoup...
Bonne semaine petite cousine du Canada, ☼ ☼ ☼
Hi Linda. Those mossies are really scary close-up like that. I never liked them buzzing around my head but I like them even less now. Thank goodness we have birds to gobble them up.
ReplyDeleteThe elephant video moved me to tears, as most elephant documentaries do, friend L ... I also remember a film about 2 old circus elephant ladies meeting and recognizing each other instantly after being many years apart ... another film was about how the herd took care of a sick newborn ... Love makes the world go round ... smiles ... Always, cat.
ReplyDeleteBewithced, a new movie. Certainly the remake.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip

Hello Linda!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful blog. I am so glad you came to mine which led me back to yours. What a find! I love the videos. Sweet story of the elephant. Nasty mosquitoes as you will know from mine. My son and husband have had malaria and my daughter was down for weeks with chickungunya. The side effects stayed around for two years and even now there are times when she goes into relapse. It messes with the immune system. We had a carpet sweeper like that in the 50s! And I remember ration books!!
Linda, you know I just finished reading a book about attachment issues - children who didn't form a bond with a significant adult at an early age. The bond must be both physical and emotional. Looks like animals need their daily cuddles too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed yes the 1940's kitchen! Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI got itchy from the mosquitoes! LOL! And, people look at me weird in the summer time, wearing long shirts! I am smart! I don't want those needles in me! LOL! Love the elephant and the quotes! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteafter watching the video of the 1940's kitchen, i'm off to google more images! I forgot in the 50's we had a bread box.
ReplyDeleteLove the elephant and ostrich video. :)
ReplyDeleteThe quote about an actual small step being better than a grand plan really hit home. I used it on my blog post today and gave you credit. Hope that was okay. But who is Princess Sassy Pants? I don't have grandchildren, so I'm in the dark a lot.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday next Thursday. We're going to toast you at lunch.
To Dear Linda. Thanks to your comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThe future can be better. You have the power to make it so...... very true.
ReplyDeleteThe elephant ostrich duo - wonder why they didn't get any video of them together.
Baby elephants are just the cutest! Grown-up elephants are cool too; we have much to learn from them.
ReplyDeletePositive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.
ReplyDeleteIt's is so true! Positive thinking yields positive results!
