Use the other door...the goose will attack if you go through this door.  :)


A litter of kittens is also knows as a "kindle."


Scrub-a-dub-dub.  Let self doubt go down the drain! And don't forget to wash behind your fears!


Every step of today will chase a dream tomorrow.


Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing. - Barry Finlay


Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream. - Malcolm Muggeridge


Don't mix bad words with your bad mood.  You will have opportunities to change a mood, but you will never get the opportunity to replace the words you spoke.


When we see life from the heart, life becomes more beautiful.


Opportunities await...seize them!


The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg.  It's about what you're made of, not the circumstances.


I'm at a point in my life where I now prioritize inner peace.


Without a struggle, there can be no progress. - Frederick Douglass


You cannot calm the storm.  Do not waste your energy.  Calm yourself...the storm will pass.


A man who is pleased when he receives good instruction will sleep peacefully, because his mind is thereby cleansed. - Buddha


The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed. - Lloyd Jones

  2. Humans are capable of the most horrendous acts, but also of the most beautiful acts. All we can do I suppose is keep highlighting the good and try to inspire others with acts of kindness.

  4. Morning Linda, I’m so pleased to see the bear in a better place. I hope the people who had her were punished, but I don’t suppose they were!
    There are some really good people in the world, like the divers who shaved the sharks and then there are the other kind who have no business being alive.
    I’m sorry that makes me sound so grumpy but I just cannot stand cruelty in any form.
    Have a lovely week.

  11. One cannot stay indifferent at the sight of the girl without arms and how she's using her toes instead. Her perseverence in doing everything: driving, playing the piano, etc..is indeed amazing.

    I like the quote about the boiling water - that's so true!

    "You cannot calm the storm...". Right. We can do nothing about climate; we're helpless when facing Nature's fury. We can do, however, things about ourselves .

  19. That 2nd video was awesome. I remember some years back my mother wrote about a women in one of the Dakotas who had no arms or legs but had become a painter of some renown. Some people have a lot more inner strength than I do. I always love those "Meanwhile in Canda" posters.

  36. Yes, my neighbour in my younger days reared a lot of them - geese. Very fierce birds...would chase and attack...kids like me. LOL!!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. The goose one is so funny. Ask any Canadian if it’s true! Mean and ornery fowl. Foul fowl! 😂

    ReplyDelete
  38. Three inspirational videos I enjoyed. (Can't see the point of constantly updating mobile phones unless your work calls for it. I prefer proper large computer screens to watch anything interesting. Never understood how people can spend their life glued to a tiny hand-sized screen for free time entertainment.)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Good morning, Linda ..the warning about the goose is funny! Reminded me of the time one chased me when I jogged past his home ;P

    ReplyDelete
  40. It's helpful to see an inspiring and positive post on a very sad day. Thank you! Sending you love and hugs, Linda.

  41. Hello Linda!
    I liked the video about bear rescue and Use the other door.. Ha ha, what a goose!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Feeling much sadness for America, feeling much sadness for Tom Petty, friend Linda ... feeling much happiness about your blog post ... Thank you ... Love, cat.

  43. "When we see life from the heart, life becomes more beautiful".
    What a beautiful sentence, but it's not easy :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. Another bear is rescued, I love it!
    Have a wonderful day Linda.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Linda, The bear rescue story is heartwarming...but it boggles my mind that the bear was being used to train dogs to hunt bears! The whale shark rescue was nice too. The woman without arms...heck, I have enough trouble typing on my computer keyboard with 2 hands...much less with my toes!
    As for the Google Pixel smart phone...heck, I don't even have a cellphone...much less a smart one. Loved the image of the deer in the shade under some kids trampoline! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  46. Keep climbing!
    Have a good evening

  47. I love that quote, "Every step of today will chase a dream tomorrow"!!
    Have a lovely weekend, Linda <3
