Neglected Bull was Chained His Entire Life, but Shows Tenderness and Affection to His Rescuer (I found this to be such a beautiful and heartwarming video!)
Gotcha the Cockatoo Running on the Floor Yelling Nonsense at Everything! (this had me laughing!) :)

Try not to get stressed about the family who doesn't treat you right. Feel blessed about the family who's always there for you.
Every time you thought you couldn't keep moving forward, you did. Take a moment to appreciate your strength.

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!
That cockatoo is funny :)

So touching about the bull. Crazy cockatoo!

ReplyDeletehave a nice day
Hahahaha ... Gotcha the Cockatoo is fun Linda.
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to have a heart of stone to watch that video and not feel moved to your very core.
ReplyDeleteThank you for another excellent, inspiring and very touching selection, dear Linda. You make the web a lovelier place.
Big hugs,

Hi Linda--LOVED the cockatoo. Certainly has a vocabulary!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend. Great selections as always.
ReplyDeleteGotcha the Cockatoo is a hoot!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Linda. I just loved the bull video. He seems so happy to be free of the chains. The Cockatoo was funny. Wonderful inspiring quotes. Thanks for sharing. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! Nice to meet you. Thank you for the fun comment you left on my blog. I see we're the same age, although you're a slight bit older. That probably means you're wiser than me. :-)
ReplyDeleteA super post, Linda. The cockatoo is too funny! But the bull segment is just plain heartwarming. Our animals have so many of the same needs and feelings as we do. And we do love our freedom. The Boyer Sisters bring me right back to my youth...that was one of my favorite songs. Our music today is mostly screaming into a mic surrounded by lots of crazy technology. Put them on stage with none of that and see how they would do.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Nice messages today. I especially agree with the one about standing alone. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteAmé las frases de Karen Salmansohn :)
ReplyDeleteAbrazos y buen fin de semana, Linda.
Loved the quote about being fueled by drama doesn't mean you have to attend the performance!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what goes through Gotcha's mind as he or she runs around yelling.
ReplyDeleteAwww on the bull. How precious is that. Very.
ReplyDeleteLove the nonsense from the cockatoo. He had a lot to say.
Have a fabulous weekend Linda. ☺
Lots of joy here -- I am really likeing those sisters! I wonder if they travel. We have entertainers down here in snowbird country who go from RV Park to RV Park providing entertainment for the 'seniors'....people would love this group!!
ReplyDeleteThe bull was so cute that my heart melted, the cockatoo.. I'm going to laugh whole night and those girls were amazing!! You chose excellent videos on your post, AGAIN! Thanks, Linda :) Have a sunny weekend!
ReplyDeleteTout est superbe! Bise et bon vendredi tout doux!
ReplyDeleteThe rescue video was as you say very heartwarming, the cockatoo is a hoot and those young girls have lovely visitors. Being a post WWII baby/toddler I grew up with those songs and still enjoy them very much. The quotes are always inspiring. Thank you for another wonderful post Linda and happy weekend to you :)
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful, as always. I cried happy tears at the bull romping and playing in the hay and I sincerely appreciated the quote about problems being opportunities to do your best, that reminds me to be a little easier on myself and know that my best is good enough <3 Thanks for a wonderful post! Hope you have a lovely weekend :o) Hugs
ReplyDeleteFabulous reminders, Linda! Thank you! We used to have cows, and they were all named according to their personalities. LOL They loved having their heads and ears scratched, and often skylarked in the cool (non-summer) mornings. We had to put a huge ring around our round hay bales because otherwise, they would trample the straw to death, and not be able to eat it LOL Thanks for the memories! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteI Linda, I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for another thoughtful post!
ReplyDeleteGreat videos and quotes. Have a blessed day and a wonderful weekend. Madeline
ReplyDeleteThank you for these. The first video about the rescued bull made me cry. Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteDear Linda- the video if the bull that had been chained made me want to cry. What a wonderful post friend.
ReplyDeleteOk Linda! you're mean! this is the first time I got emotional over a bull!!! What a sweet video.. too sad because it makes you wonder why he was chained his entire life! of course, the second video made me laugh and the third brought me back many years...so basically this was an amazing post...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post, with great quotes!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun weekend!

I like that! A human be-ing!!! Good one.
ReplyDeleteI sent the one about the bull yo my family and friends. So beautiful! Thanks, Linda!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having better days. xo
Today I really needed those Karen Salmansohn graphics. A couple of them are really personal to me. Have a great weekend, Linda!
ReplyDeleteAvoiding the drama performance is a great idea:)
ReplyDeleteI loved all of your graphics and videos today. That one about the bull almost brought me to tears. I've never seen a bull or a cow show so much expression and love. Very touching. Thank you too for your concern about the boy from Africa. That is touching too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday Linda... such lovely quotes, I really like this one:
ReplyDeleteEvery time you thought you couldn't keep moving forward, you did. Take a moment to appreciate your strength.
When you are going through it, it is hard to see your strength xox
Once again you fill my heart with warmth. Wishing you a very nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful post to go with...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful first clip. So heart-warming.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Belos vídeos.
ReplyDeleteGostei.
Um abraço e bom fim de semana.
Wow! The bull video is amazing, so touching...
ReplyDeleteLiked the bull video in particular. Very uplifting.
ReplyDeleteLinda, wonderful words of wisdom.
ReplyDeleteThe video of the bull was very sweet. Your choices are so nice – the words of wisdom resonated.
ReplyDeleteWhat a selection! I loved the video with the bull. It was just too much. I feel for the cows still there. It's apparent they are well fed and healthy, but a sad way to spend all their time.
ReplyDeleteLike the name of your blog, by the way! We all need a peaceful place.
Thanks for stopping by Caneyhead!

ReplyDeleteThe cockatoo sure had a lot to say. That was funny.

Perfect post to start my Sunday. Thanks!

Good morning Linda!:) With keeping bulls on the farm I know that their temperaments vary. We have just sold one on that was so fierce that he was a difficult even dangerous animal to approach, and he had a good life out in the fields with his harem of females.:)) The bull in the vídeo was a gentle soul, and it was a moving vídeo to see him so happy enjoying freedome for the first time, and showing no sign of aggression, just gratitude and affection. It was so moving and brought tears to my eyes. Animals can be so loving, and funny too, the Cockatoo made me smile. The girls have lovely voices,and they brought back memories of the WW11 when I was growing up and heard this kind of music on the radio. Thank for the memories, the tears and the laughter Linda, and have a happy Sunday.:)
ReplyDeleteI loved that video about the bull. One can just feel his joy at being free and the love he feels toward his rescuer.
ReplyDeleteYou shared some lovely, encouraging quotes too.

Just watching the bull enjoying his freedom and showing his affection to his rescuer, so heart warming and touching!

The video about the bull was very touching, and I loved that crazy cockatoo as well as the beautiful rendition of Apple Blossom Time ( which is about now, here in Illinois).
ReplyDeleteA neighbour had a cockatoo when I was younger and it would mimic the curses of people on the nearby golf course. Very funny.
ReplyDeleteLovely post Linda, l especially loved seeing the bull video, what a heart warming story...how much FUN was he having in the straw, almost dancing l thought and yes a special bond between he and his rescuer...lots of inspiration here, thank you for sharing. Oh and the cocky was hilarious wasn't he.
