Placing the blame or judgment on someone else leaves you powerless to change your experience; taking responsibility for your beliefs and judgments gives you the power to change them. - Byron Katie


If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain;  if I can ease one life the aching, or cool one pain, or help one fainting robin unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain. - Emily Dickinson


Once upon a time is here and now.  Get busy.


The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up. - Mark Twain


Never give up, because great things take time.


Happiness is always a choice.  You can't wait for circumstances to get better.  You have to create your own good fortune.  So look for ways to be happy every day. - Joel Osteen


Life laughs at you when you are unhappy.  Life smiles at you when you are happy.  But life salutes you when you make others happy. - Charlie Chaplin


When the heart is in the right place, one can never go wrong.


At the Humane Society of Missouri, kid volunteers comfort anxious dogs by reading to them.  :)


Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears. - Les Brown


Never let the sadness of your past and fear of your future ruin the happiness of your present. - Unknown


Don't let other people hold the key to your peace of mind.


You will never speak to anyone more than you speak to yourself in your head.  Be kind to yourself.


The fastest way to change yourself is to hang out with people who are already the way you want to be. - Reid Hoffman


It's going to be O.K.  You will make it through this storm, too!


Don't wait for things in your life to change before you feel better.  Feel better now and watch the things in your life change.



Thank you all so much for visiting me here!  I always enjoy and appreciate reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share!

  1. That is an amazing way of sorting the mails. I still can't understand how the machines can do it. I wonder if they do make mistakes.

  13. It's an interesting idea to have kids comfort dogs in a humane shelter by reading to them. I wonder how many of those kids wind up convincing their parents to adopt one of the dogs.

Great quotes - as always it was such fun to visit you. Hugs!

  29. Yup, I've had all the birds featured and many others as I've been putting out bird balls in the garden trees for 30 years. Even had sparrow hawks, cats and foxes feeding on the bird table lot as an extra add on to the food chain.

  33. Hello Linda, I hope you are feeling and being encouraged this week. : )

    The bird video is so soothing, the music is just lovely, birds are God's special messengers I think. : ) Love them. <3 The makeup video is cute, it was interesting how they really make things so precise!

    I enjoyed everything on the blog, the Emily Dickinson quote is inspiring and reading to our doggies? That is great! : )

    Enjoy your week dear friend, you're a gem. Much love, prayers and (((hugs))) amelia

  34. Oh Linda, one more thing...Do you think I could get one of those nap pods and bring in to the inlaws? ROFL

    ReplyDelete
  35. Linda, The bit about the UK garden reminded me of the UK robins...much different then those in North America and the pigeons...huge in the UK! The USPS sorting marvel is second only to the brilliant mind that designed the process and the equipment needed to get it done... I'm not sure that I worked anywhere where a pop up nap tent would have been acceptable! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  36. Now that I know the process of USPS, I won't complain about the stamp costs. Oh, that vintage makeup tutorial! Fun.
