Mid-Week Celebration

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

Royal Canadian Air Farce - Hockey Not in Canada  :)

Cats Plot to Get Rid of Elf on the Shelf  :)

A Very Friendly Octopus

This Dog Got a Standing Ovation on Her Adoption Day

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.

Leave room in every day for calm and joy to grow.


When things aren't adding up in your life, start subtracting.


Do not seek after love, but simply remove the barriers you have built against it. - Rumi


The only thing we can control in this world is our ability to choose one thought over another.


Take life day by day and be grateful for the little things.  Don't get stressed over what you can't control.


Go and love someone exactly as they are.  And then watch how quickly they transform into the greatest, truest version of themselves.  When one feels seen and appreciated in their own essence, one is instantly empowered. - Wes Angelozzi


Start where you are.  Use what you have.  Do what you can. - Arthur Ashe


Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it. - William Feather


Please don't let bad people convince you all people are bad.  There are many good hearts out there.


While in the shower:  2% washing, 8% singing, 90% winning pretend arguments.  :)










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!

  1. Daer Linda,
    they is so much truth in the sayings (That is maybe not the right word, but for the moment I can not find a better word). But when I'm in the situation I'm forgetting most of it.
    I hope you get what I mean.
    I wish you a very good day.

    Many greetings
    Wolfgang

  4. enjoyed the videos thoroughly !!!
    once i used to be scared from cats ,glad they too are afraid of this tiny cute elf!
    I never saw an octopus ,but i wonder if it was aggressive and could have attack the swimmer it gave me fright.

    Words of wisdom of lighthouses that spread light over the dark surface of sea.
    loved the most one about addition and subtraction truly applicable.
    Hugs!

  27. Linda, I grew up watching Hockey Night in Canada even though the Red Wings were our home team - thought the video was hilarious. Loved the other videos, too, along with the perfect choice of quotes. Appreciate you, Linda!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hahaha, cats and elf video is so funny!
    I love the Raphael Vavasseur art with black kitty very much. And the super-cat art is so cute, too :-)

    ReplyDelete
  29. So you know all those about simplicity and creating space for joy and such? Is there such a thing when you have 4 kids living at home, because I'm struggling to see it. We'll get there eventually, I'm sure. After they've moved out. In 18 years. =)

    ReplyDelete
  30. The Canadian Air Farce hockey was funny! And I like the cats fighting that elf. And all of Raphael's art work. Nice post, Linda. Note to Crystal: They may move out, but some move back, and you never, ever get totally rid of them! :)

  31. I feel so bad about the state of the world lately, I needed the reminder that "There are many good hearts out there." Thank you.

  33. Hi Linda! That video of the cats wanting to get the Elf on the Shelf is hilarious! My daughter and her family us it every Chritmastime, and they just labor over how to move it every day. I bet they'd love this! You are so creative in finding these little pearls :)
    Blessings,
    Ceil

  51. Hello Linda, and what is the plural of octopus? Anyway I think that an octopus is a very special and beautiful creature. It is simply amazing and quite wonderful how they can change shape and colouration. And they are I beleive, very intelligent. What a shame that we humans kill them to eat.

  56. Hello Linda! Oh my, that rescued dog and his mommy! That is so sweet! The old washer commercial is very interesting too. Wow, that is something, the combo washer/dryer and then clorox in every wash! lol I hope she didn't put her hubby's black socks in by mistake. : D

    The saying about stopping to enjoy and be happy is a good one, they all are. : ) The cat art is lovely too.

    I enjoyed my little visit! Blessings to you Linda!
