Thursday Thoughts

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all! The videos I have selected for this post are:

A Just for Laughs Gag/Juste pour Rire

Stunning Lady Gouldian Finches Feeding

Vintage 1963 Canada Dry Soda Commercial

How Meditation can Help Heal Depression

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.

Today, I will choose joy.


Extra! Extra! Adding one cup of gratitude sweetened with a spoonful of kindness at the start of every morning, has shown evidence of increased positivity!!!  Side effects may include: (but not limited to) a change in attitude, spontaneous burst of laughter, an aura of love and light, happiness in abundance.  May make your mind, heart and soul feel good!


I still have a long way to go, but I'm already so far from where I used to be and I'm proud of that.


If we would just slow down, happiness would catch up to us. - Richard Carlson


I let go of the past, embrace the present, and joyfully look forward to the future!


You should never have to convince someone into loving you and wanting to be with you.  You deserve someone who can easily see what's special in you.


Nothing is more important than this very moment, because in this very moment you are here.


Every thought you put out into the world, puts out a vibration.  Do not be sloppy with your thoughts!


Give of yourself to others.  You are the greatest gift.


Trade your expectation for appreciation and the world changes instantly. - Tony Robbins


It's my time to blossom...and I'm blooming ready!

Sorry, they didn't have rain boots in your size. It's not about the boots.


Life has no remote.  Get up and change it yourself.




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!

  2. I had to chuckle over your "meanwhile in Canada" with the bear, too cute!
    The bear looks like our little"yogi" bear that hung out with us last year. He was young and constantly looking for things to do in our yard.

    Bless you~~ Debbie

  13. Linda - have tried leaving a comment from my mobile phone but for some reason I am unable. Just wanted you to know I enjoyed the Darlings on Monday from Andy Griffith. Such a delight to hear them. Your quotes today are especially just what I needed. Love the one about slowing down so happiness can catch up...sounds good to me. Love Lori Seibert's art. Going to check out her web. Hope you have a wonderful day friend. Hugs!

  16. Good morning, dear Linda!

    It was hilarious to see the shock and terror on the faces of those adults as that boy disappeared beneath the surface of a mud puddle on their watch. I never saw such beautiful finches as these. As I told you before, I once owned a series of zebra finches. They are dear little birds and the ones you showed us today, the Gouldians, must surely be the most brightly colored finches of all. Isn't it jarring to watch TV commercial's produced in the 1950s and early 60s? The man and woman at the dance were nicely dressed and behaved in a dignified manner. The voice-over announcer delivered his message in a straightforward, no-nonsense manner. I miss those days!

    Thank you very much, dear friend Linda!

  24. You've outdone yourself today, Linda...so many wonderful quotes and sayings...I especially like the one about still a ways to go, but...

    And those finches! Marvelous colors!

    Have a great day!

  25. "Life has no remote" - that's a good one Linda. Do I need to tell you which is my favourite creature? I don't think it will win though.
