Weekend Wonders

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all! 

The videos I have selected for this post are:

Cow Who Won't Stop Crying in her Pen Breaks Rescuers' Hearts When They Find Out Why

Biggest Toothbrushing Mistake

This Walmart Closed and Left the Building Abandoned so the City Decided to do this with it

Dog Rescued from Meat Farm who Slept Sitting up gets her First Real Bed

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.

Ah, kindness.  What a simple way to tell another struggling soul that there is love to be found in the world. - A.A. Malee


Life is not a spectator sport. - Jackie Robinson


The best view comes after the hardest climb. - Unknown


The more we genuinely care about others, the greater our own happiness and inner peace. - Allan Lokos


What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, more unashamed conversation. - Glenn Close


Bad news is:  you cannot make people like, love, understand, validate, accept or be nice to you.  You can't control them, either.  Good news is:  it doesn't matter.


I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same.  People will never know how far a little kindness can go. - Rachel Joy Scott


Every morning, look in the mirror and affirm positive words into your life. - Lailah Gifty Akita


Every act of kindness is a piece of love we leave behind. - Paul Williams


We are not here to judge others.  We are not here to decide what someone deserves or doesn't deserve. We are here to help others in need, to lift those who need a lift, to restore the broken hearted, to help heal the hurting and to share the abundance of God's love.


Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365 page book. White a good one. - Brad Paisley


There is an Indian proverb that says that everyone is a house with four rooms;  a physical, a mental, an emotional and a spiritual.  Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time, but unless we go into every room every day, even if only to keep it aired, we are not a complete person.


Do not underestimate yourself.  Remember, without your presence, someone else's life won't be complete.


Baby porcupines are known as porcupettes.  :)


The key to wellness is to accept personal responsibility for your health and well-being.


Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time. - Sir J. Lubbock


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!

  3. I was impressed with the posters today. You included something for almost everyone. I know several spoke to me in a meaningful way. And you really hook me with stories of animals and suffering and people who help heal them. Who would think a cow would cry?

  4. Once again great sayings Linda, I do not know where you find them all.
    "I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go." Oh so very true and let us hope this happens often,
    "Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." Enjoying nature is one of the joys of my life. :-)
    Hope all is well, take care, gentle hugs Diane

  18. Linda, We recently spent the night at a B&B in the countryside of Scotland. It was surrounded by cattle who were mooing their heads off. It turns out that the mama cows had just been separated from their babies. They seemed to settle down by the next day... As for brushing one's teeth, we love our electric toothbrushes...and we use them as directed in the video. Nice story from McAllen TX and their reuse of abandoned retail space. I worked in retail most of my career and the companies I worked for shut down thousands of stores over the years...always a sad event and hard on the local communities too. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  25. belle le frasi di oggi ^_^

  26. Many animals are much smarter than most people give them credit for and I'm not the sentimental type. Probably cause all sorts of problems though for society with a culture of eating them which is why they are labelled 'dumb.'
    Really like the library idea.

  27. I love the Indian proverb!
    Have a good weekend

  40. Bad news is: you cannot make people like, love, understand, validate, accept or be nice to you. You can't control them, either. Good news is: it doesn't matter. <--- Best advice ever!
