It's time for cozy fires, candlelight and hot cocoa...it's sweater weather!
Listen with an open heart.
A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal. - Steve Maraboli
You don't have to be ready to recover, you need only to be willing.
A head full of fears has no space for dreams.
Go on a "toxic conversation" cleanse. Vow not to complain or gossip for 7 days. Gain happiness, calm and more loving bonds.
Not responding is a response too.
Your speed doesn't matter...forward is forward.
There are some days I only feel like talking to my dog.
Stop holding onto people who keep letting go of you. Pay attention to faithful people. The ones you don't have to impress. The ones who always have your back. The ones who love you with no strings attached.
Food can make your taste buds happy. But it can't make YOU happy. Stop emotional eating.
There's a reason your windshield is bigger than your rear view mirror. Where you're headed is much more important than what you've left behind.
I have to plug my phone into the charger so much throughout the day that I basically have a landline again.
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!
Bonjour et merci pour tout ce que tu partages Linda !
ReplyDeleteBises et bonne continuation.
Good morning, dear Linda!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the tour of the Stanford Inn all decked out for Christmas. Mrs. Shady and I were early to bed last night and early to rise because I needed to drive her to another city for eye surgery. As we drove through our town in the pre-dawn darkness we were stunned to see the main street lined with Christmas decorations, block after block of trees and bushes and houses with strings of colored lights on them all glowing in the dark and lighting our way out of town. It was breathtaking! Mrs Shady is part Irish and we have often talked about visiting Ireland. Gap of Dunloe, Killarney, looks like a lovely, natural, peaceful, relaxing setting. I think it's been thirty years or more since I last heard "Nice To Be With You," the hit single by Gallery, the Detroit sextet led by Jim Gold. The record made it into the top 5 in the late spring and early summer of 1972 and stayed on the chart an impressive 13 weeks!
Thank you very much, dear friend Linda!
Great words for today! I especially find the one about the cell phone true and funny! Hope all is well for you Linda. :)
ReplyDeleteNice Christmas lights!
ReplyDeleteI can't open today's gag.
ReplyDeleteIt's not available in Britain. :(
Ireland is very beautiful Linda, thanks for sharing this video.
ReplyDeletebisous

a demain
Good morning, I love the Ireland video. Ireland is on my bucklet list, would love to visit. Great quotes and advice. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteDespués de un tiempo vuelvo a ver sus entradas y en esta al vídeo de Irlanda me gusto mucho ya que ese tipo de paisajes me encantan.
ReplyDeleteSus reflexiones siguen siendo muy acertadas y curiosas como la de ayer sobre los primeros 40 años de la infancia.
Saludos.
I'm sorry you're having trouble getting the JFL gags. I do enjoy them. So does my hubby. But I know you'll continue to have an uplifting and enjoyable blog even if they become unavailable.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the Ireland video. I always enjoy visiting your blog. Great quotes. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy your Blog Linda! Some days I only feel like talking to my cats! LOL!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! L'Irlande est vraiment un endroit magnifique
ReplyDeleteGros bisous

I like the idea of no gossip or complaining for a week. I need to try this!
ReplyDeleteGreat gag again. Hope we don't lose those. I love them!
ReplyDeleteGreat variety - love the quotes!! Thank you for making my day more beautiful, Linda!
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen this gag somewhere before. I know I've seen it somewhere before. They are all good though.
ReplyDeleteLove the Christmas tree lights. Beautiful.
Have a terrific day Linda. ☺
Dear Linda, you are so kind to go to all this trouble over the gags. I fear it might be a move on their part for more monetization! Argh ~ maybe I listen to CNBC , financial channel too much! I'm enjoying your music videos. I like to play them as I read through the quotes, so I appreciate where you place them in the blog. Terry told me that he has biked the full circuit in the Gap of Dunloe. It looks wonderful. Loved the Christmas lights.
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful quotes. If someone wounds you, a kind gesture of response to that person, can make you feel better too. Lots of times when people strike out, you are not the target. Our world is so hyper reactive and stressful.
I've been so behind in everything and barely lurching forward. forward is forward felt like a blessing.
Hugs to you, my Montreal friend. Have an awesome day!
I would love to spend a whole lot of time in Ireland.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, I have actually been hiking in the Gap of Dunloe in Ireland before! I can confirm that it really is that beautiful! And I definitely agree that there are some days when I only feel like talking to my dog or cat, haha--especially during the holiday season when there are soooo many people around!
ReplyDeleteNice log, Linda !
ReplyDeleteI always play the music ones for my husband because he is a music trivia buff. He usually gets them!
ReplyDeletej'aime bien "Your speed doesn't matter" Linda
ReplyDeleteIt’s lovely to come and visit your blog and read wonderful quotations and watch your great selection of videos. It is a breath of fresh air after watching the News on TV!
ReplyDeleteI think the Just For Laughs people owe you something for bringing their videos to so many people.
ReplyDeleteThe quotes from Karen are always so inspiring and on the dot. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIreland, just beautiful..
ReplyDeleteYes, it's nice to be with you Linda.
ReplyDeleteI'm still feeling amazed by your video about Ireland, I wonder how much I do love it !
ReplyDeleteEverything here is always so refreshing, fun and deep in the meanwhile ... Thank you my blessed Linda, you're truly wonderful !
Have a marvellous remainder of your week,
sending big big tender hugs

Oh, I think you are very talented. You should definitely showcase your blog.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting videos and posting. I voted my favourite flowers. Lots of orchids in Singapore but hardly any tulips.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
I like the forward is forward one
ReplyDeleteListen with an open heart - wisely said. Do not judge.
