I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. - Henry David Thoreau


Quit saying you don't have time.  You have time for what you make time for in life.


He who demands little gets it. - Ellen Glasgow


I don't mind differences of opinion.  I do mind hate.


Embrace uncertainty.  Some of the most exciting moments in life take us completely by surprise. - Lori Deschene


As for butter versus margarine, I trust cows more than chemists. - Joan Gussow  :)


Strong people don't put people down.  They lift them up.


Your child's mental health is more important than their grades.


Faith is trust without reservation.


The most beautiful eyes are those who see everything with love and compassion. - Nur Blessing


No matter how old your other parts...you can always be young at heart!  :)


The most memorable people are those that loved you at your most unlovable.


Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. - Anais Nin


Pause and remember - if you empty yourself of yesterday's sorrows, you will have much more room for today's joy. - Jenni Young


If you're struggling or feeling unhappy, know you're not alone.  We're all in this together, working on an amazingly awesome life;  trying to stay focused on what's good, finding ways to feel better and keep on moving on.


Be happy for no reason, like a child.  If you are happy for a reason, you're in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you. - Deepak Chopra


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!

  6. What a super post! I've always wondered about the difference between bar soap and body wash. I don't really like body wash. But, hey, whatever gets you clean, right? Some fascinating posters here, too. I don't mind differences of opinion either, so long as everyone realizes I'm right! :) And I worry a lot about people who claim "faith" is better than science. Faith had better be based on reason and the scientific method or one can get lost rather quickly. it's goo to had kitties, though, to help us over the rough spots! And may you have a super weekend filled with joy and peace and little kittens!

  24. I enjoyed all your videos this morning, Linda! I was watching the little bird in the background when the cardinal was checking out the vicinity. I knew the moment the cardinal left, it would swoop in for a bit of the booty. The elephant video was heartwarming. I can't quit saying, "I don't have time." I don't ~ LOL I have nightmares about not having enough time ~ LOL I have come to realize that I have always struggled against the clock and that it probably comes from being ADHD and a perfectionist. Not s good combination. LOL Have a good one, my dear friend!

  27. Hi Linda and thank you, loved the Cardinal video, they are such a stunning bird and I see them on a regular basis on a gents blog from Canada. Glad those poor Elephants were rescued.

  28. Ha, ha. I like the butter vs. margarine thought.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Linda, Great video showing the bluebird, squirrel and cardinal grabbing the peanuts. Good idea for filming birds close up. As for soap, I'm sticking with bar soap...but maybe I'll switch to Dove. Can't stand using body washes! Love the elephant rescue...second one in recent weeks. Cat destressing...dog destressing...all good! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  30. I just had a conversation today about butter vs. margarine! Always butter. Always. Or go without. 🐄

  31. Another great post but "Quit saying you don't have time. You have time for what you make time for in life." is my favourite and oh so true. Have a great weekend Diane

  32. Hi Linda,

    I so missed your always inspiring quotes, so carefully chosen for us, to put into practice what we read about theoretically. There are too many to mention in this post, but 'No matter how old your other parts...you can always be young at heart!', I can always identify with. I have copied and pasted them for positive energy and enlightenment.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

  37. Hi Linda. I was very taken by the quote "As for butter versus margarine, I trust cows more than chemists." Such wise words and so succinct. We try to never buy what we call "factory food" and just stick to ingredients that we can source as natural and local. If only everyone did the same.
