Life is better when you laugh a lot, cry a little and are thankful for everything you've got.
My life isn't good or bad. It's an incredible series of emotional and mental extremes, with beautiful thunderstorms and stunning sunrises. - Jaeda Dewalt
Sometimes you just need to relax and remind yourself that you're doing the best you can and everything is going to turn out just fine.
The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done, we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change. So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger, but in wisdom, understanding and love. - Jennifer Edwards
What people never understand is that depression isn't about the outside; it's about the inside.
Every moment offers an opportunity to start anew.
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. - Walt Disney Company
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. - Mark Twain
Our most significant opportunities will be found in times of greatest difficulty. - Thomas S. Monson
Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit. - Vince Lombardi Jr.
Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity. - Will Smith
Anyone that suggests to me to do less is either not a real friend or very confused! - Grant Cardone
Take charge of your attitude. Don't let someone else choose it for you. Your life is what your thoughts make it. - Marcus Aurelius
Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action. - Unknown
When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves. - William Arthur
The healthiest response to life is joy. - Deepak Chopra
Very good, informative video, the one on depression!
ReplyDeleteBeing realistic is ..the road to mediocrity?! I don't quite get it.
One can be realistic (good trait) and still have a rich imagination to help him be creative and outstanding.
Yes!!! "Life is better when you laugh a lot, cry a little and are thankful for everything you've got." Give thanks and praise always for every little blessing that come our way.
ReplyDeleteCute little baby squirrel and the friendship with a cat must be unusual. Thank you for sharing, Linda!
ReplyDeleteThe best response to life is joy. I know, it's very important, but not easy (of course I think about me).
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Linda :)
Hello Linda!:)Lovely to watch the cute baby squirrel needing the warmth and company of a furry friend, and the amazing fireflies. The mother and son video clip was incredible,..what an amazing story! Thank you for all the wonderful uplifting quotes too, and have a wonderful day yourself.x

Hello, what an inspiring post. The birth mom and son story is awesome. Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteHi, Linda! Wishing you a great mid-week greeting, and a gentle, warm hug as well. Waving hello, and with gratitude for today's goodies! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteGood stuff today dear Linda. I hope you are having a great day and that things are looking up for you my friend. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteGreat reminders, and love the video of mom and son. I hope you are joyful today.
ReplyDeleteThe healthiest response to life is joy. - Deepak Chopra <--- I so love this, Linda. Good find! ^.^
ReplyDeleteLinda, Fireflies are big here in East Tennessee and we get a lesson on how they 'work' every year. Tourists flock to the area for our rare synchronise firefly display every year. Love the baby squirrel and the cat. All of the indoor/outdoor cats in my earlier life would have killed the squirrel. Animals can really surprise us!
ReplyDeleteDepression isn't in the cards for me or my spouse. I did have an anxiety attack once over 20 years ago and that wasn't fun... I fall asleep in a flash...no insomnia...and I could only wish that my appetite would lessen. The story about the birth mother and her son working together at Lowe's without knowing it was very neat indeed. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Super videos friend as well as quotes...love the one that every moment allows us to start anew. Thanks for a wonderful mid week post. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAwww on the squirrel and the cat. Unlikely friends, but so very cute.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Linda. Big hugs. ♥♥♥
'Baby Squirrel Befriends Cat' -> how nice, Linda !
ReplyDelete@So nice for you...
Inspiring post, as always, Linda! The quote "Sometimes you just need to relax and remind yourself that you're doing the best you can and everything is going to turn out just fine" really spoke to me. I have a tough time allowing myself to relax, and I must do it more and remind myself I am doing my best and everything will turn out. btw, I've made the roast potato recipe you shared recently twice now. I adapted it a little, but the techniques of boiling the potatoes with a bit of baking soda and roughing them up are awesome. Terry LOVES these roasted potatoes. Poor guy, he's Irish and could eat potatoes with every supper. I'm going to play around with the seasonings for different tastes. this is going to become a staple!
ReplyDeleteWho'd have thought a squirrel and cat could get along.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda! My life would be so different without your beautiful blog!
ReplyDeleteVery heartwarming videos. Great quotes. Have a blessed day. Madeline

The mother and son video is my favorite. It worked out for both of them and that's great. Wonderful inspiring quotes. Have a wonderful day Linda. Thanks for sharing this post!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great reunion story with the mother and son coworkers. Love that little squirrel with the somewhat confused-looking cat. And fireflies (or, as we call them, lightning bugs) fascinate me. I look forward to their appearance every summer...and then wonder where they go when they're not flying around and lighting up anymore.
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful and inspiring words and pics today, Linda. I especially love, 'Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action. - Unknown. Really makes sense, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday!
Poppy
