Depression isn't a choice, but stigma and ignorance are. - Matt Haig
By being yourself, you put something wonderful in the world that was not there before. - Edwin Elliot
Quit trying to please other people. If the people in your life don't like who you are and what you do, get new people.
May abundant blessings shine on you this day!
I love those people who can make me laugh during those moments when I feel like I can't even smile.
Motivation is something has has to come from within. Someone can help you light the fire. But you've got to keep it burning. Cherish that flame. Don't let anyone blow it out. You're in control of how bright you shine. - Cassey Ho
Sometimes a door that looks like great loss is really the threshold to freedom!
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
Ring bell. If no answer...pull weeds.
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!
I can relate to rock and roll granny - my great grandma used to play the mouthorgan, piano and drums!
ReplyDeleteenjoyed Thursdays thoughts.
ReplyDeleteQuit trying to please other people --- that's a good principle!
ReplyDeleteAmazing gag, Linda, lovely !
ReplyDeleteMuahahahaha!!! That's one cool granny!
ReplyDeleteA stunning video of Costa Rica, I look under my bed tonight, or there is not a snake .... hahaha!
ReplyDeleteVery important issues here - thank you for these Linda. I like particularly this: Depression is not a choice, but ignorance and stigma are.
ReplyDeleteAll are lovely like always but i like 'Depression isn't a choice, but stigma and ignorance are. - Matt Haig' very much
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteIt has been quite a while since I visited your blog... I spend my time in nature watching and photographing animals!!
Thanks you for your king comments on my blog and for sharing all those thoughts with us!
Naturally I was very impressed with magnificent Costa Rica, we were supposed to get there in january but since we still haven't sold our french property we are stuck here... :(
Keep well, love from France :)
Good Thursday Thoughts, Linda. Every blessing on your day.
ReplyDeleteI need to get that weed-pulling sign!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day
The granny is cool, and the chicken - awesome!
ReplyDeleteHave a good day, Linda! ☺
Costa Rica is stunning and the colors of everything, wow! Great post Linda.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Linda! I have to say that when I click into your profile and see your profile photo, I just smile and laugh, seeing that cat look in the mirror only to see a LION! LOVE THAT.....
ReplyDeleteYour shares today are diverse and fun. I truly loved rereading Meryl Streep's piece. I think it is good when many of us come to a point where we have weeded out what is truly important to live happily and contribute something meaningful of ourselves to the world. Bravo for her, bravo for any of us who have learned this, the hard way.
Thank you kindly for coming to visit my post!
Aw! The kindness video touched my heart. What a great guy! Love the sign on the door. I wonder if that would work. :)
ReplyDeleteCoucou Linda,
ReplyDeleteLe poulet croustillant semble très délicieux!!
Bisous

Beautiful quotes, Linda. Oh no! I won't be watching the snake video..lol!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, dear Linda!
ReplyDeleteThe old lady rocker in the gag video reminds me of a television show I saw in the early 60s in which an old man became young again when he heard "The Twist." He threw away his cane and performed the dance perfectly. Costa Rica looks like a beautiful place and I'd love to see it someday. The man who played with the autistic girl on a plane flight deserves all the praise he is getting because it isn't easy to be that patient and set aside your own interests for 2.5 hours. I also appreciated the report on the origin of the mental health stigma. People with mental health issues should not have to hide in the shadows.
Thank you very much, dear friend Linda!
I like that saying...the greatest pleasure in life...know many people that it fits too..
ReplyDeleteCosta Rica Is a beautiful place but it has to many snakes. Love the old lady rocker in the gag video. The man you played with the autistic girl on the plane deserves a medal. Love all the quotes. Have a blessed day. Madeline

ReplyDeleteLoved the guy on the plane that entertained that little girl for 2.5 hours. What a cool guy.
I've had that fried chicken many times. Come from a southern background to that was a staple in our home for many years.

Being positive means overcoming the negative.
Linda, you just made my day with the Train Passengers Sing Over the Rainbow. Believe it or not, I was singing along with the song. The people were singing along and enjoyed it greatly. That is what life is all about, enjoyment with each other.
