Without rain there would be no flowers.
Be brave. Say how you feel, leave the job you hate, find your passion, love with every ounce of your bones, stand up for what you believe in, don't settle and never apologize for who you are.
Be the one who nurtures and builds. Be the one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart, one who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them.
Happiness always look smile while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is. - Maxim Gorky
Perhaps the greatest risk any of us will ever take: to be seen as we really are. - Cinderella
Enthusiasm is contagious. Go out each day smiling and start an epidemic!
Be a light to the world...so others recognize the light in themselves.
It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. - Aristotle Onassis
Some of the deepest wounds never leave a mark...be kind; you never know the invisible hurts others might be carrying.
Health benefits of cacao
Equal access to nature for all is a social justice issue.
Give freely to the world these gifts of love and compassion. Do not concern yourself with how much you receive in return, just know in your heart it will be returned. - Steve Maraboli
If your life has no ups and downs, it means you're dead.
Slainte! Irish coffee. :)
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!
Ha, ha! Anyone who's ever had a pet that hated baths will love that video.
ReplyDeleteLovely quotes to start the day beautifully....I like this one "Enthusiasm is contagious. Go out each day smiling and start an epidemic!"
ReplyDeleteNice Thai dance. I love watching these cultural presentations.
ReplyDeleteMERCI pour ce beau partage Linda
ReplyDeleteBises et belle journée à toi
Just stopping by to say hello!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm home sick today, so I was able to watch the videos. Very interesting ideas for how to re-use old candles. The Bucket woman also made me laugh! Hope you are having a nice week.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha .... Amusing Ways, is so sweet and nice Linda. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, the avoiding bath video is so cute. But I am glad that my boys love taking bath. I am learning to stand up for what I believe in and not to apologize for who I am. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHyacinth Bucket ..reste populaire chez nous Linda
ReplyDeletegreetings
Marvellous piece of work on those ice candles, Linda! That's so brilliant! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove the ice candles.
ReplyDeleteI like the qoute from Agape. Give is better than receiving.
'Go out each day smiling and start an epidemic...'-> I often try, Linda, but it doesn't work...
ReplyDeleteHaha, the video about avoiding bath time is very cute! I attempted bathing my kitties long time ago, but one of them climbed me like a tree. No more bath for kitties...!
ReplyDeleteYou do find so many beautiful things. My favorite this morning has to do with the health benefits of cacao. In fact, I just may have a Snickers bar for breakfast! Just kidding! Have a great da.
ReplyDeleteEverything old is new again--my sister and I used to make candles, some using ice.
ReplyDeleteyou are a true blessing to my heart
ReplyDeleteAvoiding baths is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteEl vídeo del baile tahilandes me gusto siempre es bueno conocer otras culturas.
ReplyDeleteLo del baño de las mascotas creo que los gatos siempre fueron poco amigo del agua, aun siendo muy limpios.
Saludos.
Mr. Blobby....bwahahahahahahahahaha. Like a bull in a china shop.
ReplyDeleteLove all the ways to avoid a bath. So cute.
Have a fabulous day Linda. ☺
Bonjour Linda,

i like watching folk dances, and even though thailand is quite close to my country, i haven't seen a thai folk dance before in real life :)
ReplyDeleteHyacinth had her hands full didn't she? What a hoot. Always find your videos enjoyable, along with the quotes and pretty illustrations.
ReplyDeleteOnce again your choice of videos and quotes were great. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteHello from Spain. I hope you stay free from the cold and ice Linda. Thanks for visiting me in Lanzarote.
ReplyDeleteBe a light to the world. That's YOU, Linda.
ReplyDeleteLovely post as usual!
ReplyDeleteI just love the Northern Thai folk dance video, I love Thailand and Thai people, go there every year when I was still living in Singapore, three years ago, I visited Northern Thailand, we just love it and looking forward to go back again!
Bonne fin de journée
ReplyDeleteici le matin gris puis là un peu de ciel bleu pour le coucher du soleil mais il annonce pluie et vent pour la nuit ....
demain je présente des photos de Bruxelles ... prise entre deux ciel gris :)

My FAVORITE blog because it is a reflection of You, Linda! Thank you for every minute you spend enriching our lives, making us laugh, making us think...
ReplyDeleteI remember visiting Thailand years ago. There was a restaurant that had native shows you could watch...truly beautiful to witness.
ReplyDeleteTout est super beau Linda! Bise et bonne soirée toute douce!
ReplyDeletea very good post as always! I appreciate the choice of your videos!
ReplyDeleteI love the one about happiness seeming small in your hand. So true. Sometimes we don't stop to think about how happy we are and to enjoy the moment. Once we lose something that made us happy we see that it took up a lot more space than we realized. Thanks for sharing. :)

Sacrosante verità : nessun fiore senza la pioggia!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm happy for the ups and downs then! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI watched "Keeping up Appearances" for years, and had many a side-splitting evening following Hyacinth's escapades! She was a treasure!
ReplyDeleteLike the Cinderella quote!
ReplyDeleteSilly coffee, I don't speak Gaelic
ReplyDeleteMrs. Bucket :)
ReplyDeleteHa..."Keeping up Appearances" has always been one of my favourite comedy series...and Hyacinth so reminds me of my ex mother-in-law!! lol
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Linda, for enriching our lives with your beautiful blog...and for being you.:)
xoxoxo
Some of the deepest wounds never leave a mark...be kind; you never know the invisible hurts others might be carrying.
ReplyDeleteI heart this. It is so easy to judge others based on what we see.
