You cannot protect yourself from sadness without also protecting yourself from happiness.
It is not happy people who are thankful. It is thankful people who are happy.
When you have so much to do that you just decide to lay on the floor for a long time and call it meditation.
If you want to outdo where you are, you must outbe who you are, and outbelieve your limitations.
Before getting upset always ask yourself. Will this even matter in six months, in a year, or in five years? If the answer is no, just let it go.
No matter how much it rains...there's a place in you that never stops shining.
Don't live in the past, thinking about mistakes or changes you made. Think of your life as a book, move forward, close one chapter and open another. Learn from your mistakes, but focus on your future, not on your past.
Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.

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!
Wonderful Linda!!! I especially loved those adorable pigs bringing happiness to the Alzheimer's patients today.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda!:) I also enjoyed the pigs vídeo.My mother had Alzheimer's, and I cared for her for six years. How she would have loved feeding the pot- bellied miniture pigs, and seeing their little wagging tails. Full of flu today Linda, so I'll love you and leave you.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the piggies are so cute and adorable! This video reminded me of my young days when my mom rear pigs behind our house. And I used to play with the piglets and bathe them.
ReplyDeletethe videos are very enlightening - i liked spiced milk tea, but i've never known how it's prepared. the use of the potbellied pigs for patients is also a surprise...
ReplyDelete"We search for life on other planets and in other regions of our galaxy. Meanwhile, we destroy and ignore the other life on this planet." - Anthony Douglas Williams. The irony of it all, how very true! So sad, so tragic!
ReplyDeleteHi!, it is I the rat! I have come to visit yet once again! What a wonderful day! I actually achieved a couple of things without hurting to bad! the weather was beautiful. I am checking all my blogs and then going to bed for some rest. life is good! I knew a fellow that had a pig with a collar and he would walk it with a leash! I don't know what his plan was for when the pig got big, a saddle perhaps! ha ha ha ha Later!
ReplyDeleteConfettis is very funny Linda. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeletegreat videos, love those little V. pigs, K Salmonsohn's quote si today's favourite...happy weekend (i got a day behind somehow)
ReplyDeletebeau travail de Raf. Vavasseur Linda
ReplyDeletehave a nice day
I wonder if they mean spiced milk tea as in 'chai' or 'masala' tea?
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, Happy Friday! I've answered the poll. Thank you for today's words of wisdom. That's what I do sometimes - pretend I'm meditating when I have so much to do! Lol.
ReplyDeleteje te souhaite une douce fin de semaine , la météo est toujours grise ici
ReplyDeletebisous
Great post as always, have a lovely day:)
ReplyDeleteLove the gag. I've never been to that particular soda fountain, but soda fountains in general were part of my younger days. The Banana Bunch made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThere was such a soda shop on my way home from school. A good deal of my allowance went into peanut butter milk shakes.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, dear Linda! Surely that spiced milk tea tastes great, but I suspect most modern Americans are in too much of a hurry to make it themselves. I appreciated the images of classic 1950's soda fountains. They reminded me of my old hangout the Shady Dell which had a menu that included at least 75 sweet drinks and sundaes made to order. I agree that animals are magic and enjoyed watching the pot bellied pigs spreading cheer among those Alzheimer's patients.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear friend Linda, and have a wonderful weekend!
Oh how wonderful to be here again!
ReplyDeleteI just adore those cute little piggies...and your quotes are so uplifting and inspiring.
I love them all!
Thank you so much.:))
Have a great weekend.

"Wakeup World" has such an important message, Linda! The gag was fun, especially after being at my niece's recent wedding! Love the classic soda fountain video ...Life would be a dream ... shaboom! shaboom! We found one old 50s style lunch counter at the Dutch Bakery in Victoria. Have a lovely weekend, Linda!
ReplyDeleteForgot to say, you reminded me of wonderful memories when I was a young girl: my Great Aunt Maude taking me to a lunch counter in Charlottetown during the mid-1950s where we would have 7-Up and cheese and lettuce sandwiches. And of Dad taking me for hot fudge sundaes at various soda fountains in the Maritimes. I realized that that must be why I always want to sit at the bar on a stool or chair instead of at a table when we go to Parkway for drinks and dinner on Friday nights. Yippee! Today is Friday! Hope yours is awesome too! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday.
ReplyDeleteenjoy your weekend, love you.
ReplyDeleteYours is truly a peaceful place, that's why I do come here when I really allow me a moment of true rest to enjoy of everything you post, just for myself !
ReplyDeleteBless you !
Dany
The videos were so funny! The bride was excellent....
ReplyDeleteThank you for the laugh....enjoy your weekend!
The greatest strength is gentleness <3 Another great post, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI try to remember to put things into perspective by asking myself if what's bothering me will still be important a year from now. Most things aren't really that important.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Happy Sunday, dear! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHappiness and sadness squeeze themselves in through a similar door.
ReplyDeletethe pigs are adorable - love the quotes and i sure miss my youth and the soda shop up in town. My sis and I would go there every day after school.
ReplyDeleteD'une toilette à l'autre c'est marrant...
ReplyDeleteBon week end Linda.
