Mid-Week Battery Recharge

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

Four Black Swans Spotted Surfing in Australia

Oliver Jones - Over the Rainbow (Oliver Jones is a Canadian Jazz pianist, organist, composer and arranger who lives here in Montreal!)

Welcome Back, Kotter - Travolta Struts His Stuff

Henri Le Chat Noir - Politique

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.

Inhale.  Exhale.  Everything is going to be okay. Psssst...actually, it's going to turn out even better than okay.  You'll see.


I am not going to focus on how anyone else feels about me.  I choose to be joyful and simply love myself.


Sometimes I prefer not to talk about things until I figure out what I'm truly feeling and thinking.


What are the most powerful words in the universe? The ones you use to talk to yourself.


Healing happens when you observe your stressful thoughts and emotions without judgement.


Make time for the things that make your heart sing!


A world filled with so many opportunities should never be able to make you feel disappointed.  One closed door makes way for another one to open. Never lose hope.  Good morning to you!


I'm stronger because of my hard times, wiser because of my mistakes and happier because of my sad experience.


Life has knocked me down a few times.  It has shown me things I never wanted to see.  I have experienced sadness and failures.  But one thing for sure, I always get up!








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!

  18. I agree with Henri.

    Mr. Jones will be missed, now that he's retiring from the touring life.

  19. Those Krasi kitties are pretty cute! We used to watch Welcome Back, Kotter, on occasion. Travolta has a huge home here in Ocala and sometimes is spotted in Walmart during the middle of the night.

  25. Black swans. I think they're the "mascot" of Perth, Australia. Everyone coming back/here from there would bring those porcelain miniatures as souvenirs. I have a few in my house.

  29. Vänner är änglar som lyfter dina fötter
    när dina egna vingar har glömt bort hur man flyger.
    Ha en fin dag kram Night Lady

    Friends are angels who lift our feet
    when our own wings have trouble remembering how to fly.
    Love and hugs Night Lady

  32. Over the rainbow is a real classic - sung, played on an any instrument and just enjoyed by 100% of people. I hope so. Good choices today Linda.

  33. John Travolta... another secret love of mine ;-) I just watched an old movie with him a couple of nights back - Domestic Disturbance - it's a bit of a suspense thriller.

  34. PS... I remember seeing those swans! Seems everyone surfs in Australia, including the wildlife. ;-)

  43. I think I saw the video of the black swans on FB. Someone I know shared it on his/her profile :) So cute!

    I definite agree to the quote by Karen Salmansohn. As Rupaul said once on his show, we have to overcome our inner saboteur.
