Anything you can't control is teaching you how to let go.
You should tell people how important they are. Always.
We can all do better if we love a little louder. - David Guetta
Being happy is not about what you have. It's about the thoughts you have.
It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any. - Hugh Laurie
Don't wait for a photo to smile hugely! Say cheese for all the little things you're grateful about!
And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure if the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what the storm is all about. - Haruki Murakami
Relax now, rest, let go of trying to manage the universe...does your heart need your help in order to beat? Do you need to take thought in order to breathe? Surrender to the higher intelligence that breathes you and that operates the whole universe.
Your life is calling...it wants you to step out of your comfort zone and live it!
Remember, happiness starts with you. Not with your relationship, not your friends, not your job. But with you.
Thank you all so much for visiting me here! I always enjoy and appreciate reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share!
Nice, on an early morning, Linda.
ReplyDeleteLie(f)s.
Hahaha ... John Cleese, is always fun Linda. I wish you good Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteLoved all those wise words and the videos. Your posts are always a great pleasure. Thank you Linda. Thank you also for your very sweet comments regarding my father-in-law. So very much appreciated by our family.
ReplyDeleteAnother great post. As always I enjoyed the animal videos. The dog saving the baby's life is heart warming and it is good to see animals bringing smiles and meaning to the people in the care home. Keep safe, Linda.
ReplyDeletebeautiful painting, especially that Dowell-Irvine.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda--I have always loved those programs that bring animals into nursing homes. Such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteCara Linda, è sempre un piacere sorridere guardando i tuoi video!!!
ReplyDeleteCiao e buona giornata con un abbraccioe un sorriso:)

Wonderful messages. I love the cat art. :D
ReplyDeleteGreat story about Duke! I think animals can sense when something is wrong. Glad the baby was saved and doing well :-)
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Linda! I loved the story about Duke saving the baby. The animals in the Care homes is a great idea. Pretty art images and wonderful quotes. Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThat family hit the jackpot when they adopted that sweet dog, didn't they? So happy that the baby is all right.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Linda,
ReplyDeleteJ'ai bien aimé le premier vidéo, c'est très touchant ♡

Oh I love the one with the camera! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteGreat selection!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! :)
I enjoyed this post very much, Linda. The wonderful dog that saved the baby reminded me of how great these animals are. I have a niece with diabetes who sometimes passes out and she was able to get a specially-trained dog who lives with her and goes to work with her and knows immediately when she is in trouble and alerts he to take the necessary medication.
ReplyDeleteThe trip to Leningrad reminded me of my parents. My dad was born in 1903 and my mother in 1909. They went on a number of trips across country before I was born. I was going through a photo album one day and asked them why the only pictures they took showed them by their car on the side of the road. They explained that the cars would get one flat tire about every hour. So, while they were fixing the flat tire, they would take pictures. I guess that wore them out so they seldom had photos of the sights they had seen! :)
Cleese is always a riot! And you know he didn't swear hardly at all. Ah, for the good old days.
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the quotes you chose for today!
ReplyDeleteInteresting videos. Great quotes and beautiful art work. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful dog to save that baby. That was amazing.
ReplyDeleteLove the bank video. So very true at times.
Have a fabulous day my friend. ☺
Dogs are amazing animals ~ what a happy story. I found the "Sketches in Silliness" quote powerful, as was the Jackie D-I drawing (so evocative of the North). Have a lovely day, Linda! I'm ahead of you in time for once. Sending you bigs hugs!
ReplyDeleteI cried, friend Linda about the first video ... in remembrance of my black lab Piwo, who almost always knew a few hours before one of my migraines would hit ... he would stay so close to me, that I would sometimes almost stumble over him ... now I know he wanted me to remind me to take my preventative medication NOW ... RIP, Piwo ... Love, cat.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! Dogs are wonderful animals sadly I'm allergic to them as well as cats :(
ReplyDeleteHappiness indeed starts within us. It shows your inner glow basking the people around you with this warm sensation. In return, it's kindof infectious and it will definitely spread. Positive thinking begets positive outcome.
Tout beau, bonne soirée ma belle amie!
ReplyDeleteYes, they say it is good to have pets, therapeutic, for relief of depression - great for old people.
ReplyDeleteSo much inspiration. Thank you for the uplifting and good thoughts. I loved that first video and all of the memes. So awesome. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful quotes as always....but that first video was amazing! I have a rescue dog that I adopted 3 years ago that was flown from California to New York ....I never regretted a moment. LOVE my Cali !!!!
ReplyDeleteWatching John Cleese is always a whole lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteLoved your heart warming videos of the animals. That dog was amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh for the love of seniors...what a wonderful way to up lift their spirits.
Nice to visit with you, dear lady.
I've read a lot about the benefits of animals in care homes, including cats reducing blood pressure simply by being around. Enjoyed the Leningrad trip with the restored car at the end.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, thanks for coming by my blog! Sorry I didn't get back to you before this. Wonderful quotes and videos! Thank you! One of the biggest things a person can do in life, is to truly love themselves, after that, everything falls into place. I finally this January, started to love me! All my lumps and bumps and it is so freeing! No more covering up! Big Hugs and keep being you!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say, I love animals!!!
ReplyDeleteGood dog, Duke! I bet they won't be parents that get rid of a dog because there is a new baby in the house.
ReplyDeleteI am a big believer in pets at seniors homes. Sadly, most won't allow them because of allergies. There are so many ways around this and the benefits far outweigh the risks.
I love that you included topics about animals here, it's just refreshing because for me, they are innocent being and deserves to be treated well like humans.
ReplyDeleteHi, Linda. I liked the video 'Trip to Leningrad'. I learned about Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky and his wife Lily Briks. I wonder how they just got to the city when their car was broken all the trip :)
ReplyDeleteMy city is Saint Petersburg, ex. Leningrad and to get there from Moscow you need high speed and good car!
superbe travail de Raphael Vavasseur Linda
ReplyDeletehave a nice day
Yes... a good reminder to tell people how important they are.
ReplyDeleteLinda, you make me smile with your posts and I appreciate your efforts in sorting through the web to bring us something to start the day with cheer. :-)
Love these inspiring quotes! Have a good week, dear! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you for all this great inspiration - a wonderful way to start my day!
ReplyDeleteDuke is such a wonderful dog ♥

I enjoyed the thought-provoking quotes and happiness that resides here, Linda.
ReplyDeleteLos perros suelen cuidar mucho a los niños de la casa en especial y como ejemplo te pongo uno que tubo mi hermana el cual no perdía de vista a la niña cuando era pequeña.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
great job doggy
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminders to step out of our comfort zones, and to stop waiting for a perfect time! Probably that is a form of procrastination and we don't realize it. Hope you have a great weekend! XXOO
ReplyDeleteGreat selection!
ReplyDeleteToday I try to teach me how to let go!
Have a lovely weekend, Linda:))

That is a great little Duke. Good stuff. But they didn't say why the baby was having problems.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great dog. John Cleese always makes me laugh. Thanks for the great videos. Xx
