Ah, kindness.  What a simple way to tell another struggling soul that there is love to be found in this world.  - A.A. Malee


Make time for the "I love you," the "I appreciate you," the hugs, and stretch out all the good moments.  Leave no room for regrets of a kind word left unsaid.  Say them daily.


Bungee gourd.  :)


My goal is to build a life I don't need a vacation from.


Sometimes we can miss open windows trying to bang down locked doors.


Don't ruin a new day by thinking about yesterday. Let it go.


The hardest walk is walking alone.  But if you let it, it's the walk that can make you the strongest.


I wonder which mistake I'm going to learn from today!  :)


You should never fight for a spot in somebody's life.


LISTEN.  People start to heal the moment they feel heard. - Cheryl Richardson


Ban, shred, delete, obliterate the words "I'm not good enough."


A great future doesn't require a great past. - William Chapman


A secret to happiness - Never allow another person to control your emotions.


The more you appreciate your worth, the less you'll want to stay around people who don't.


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!

  12. The dog and cat video was so sweet. And I loved the little kids packing on the Candid Camera video. So cute to see what they wanted in their suitcases. Actually, the ones packing food reminded me of myself. I never like to be too far from food! I loved the thought: I wonder which mistake I'm going to learn from today. :)

  20. This is one of your best posts, Linda. The videos are all fun and entertaining and the one of Glenn Miller was very nostalgic and took me back to my childhood. I've been attacked by ducks before, but not by a swan...I've heard they can be very nasty. There were several posters here also that spoke to my heart. Thank you for sharing and I hope you are having a great day!

  23. Linda, Love that 'swing' sound as typified by Glenn Miller and his orchestra. I was attacked by a swan once. It was sudden and vicious...but I ran fast! Love those animal bits where enemies just snuggle together... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  28. I love Glen Miller, but of course I cannot play it here with our slow connection. Somewhere there is a disc I must go and find it. Beautiful sayings especially Make time for the "I love you," the "I appreciate you," the hugs, and stretch out all the good moments. Leave no room for regrets of a kind word left unsaid. So important.
    Have a good day Diane

  29. Hi Linda! I enjoyed watching the packing video from Candid Camera. I remember when my granddaughter was going on a trip, she packed her bags all by herself. It was full of hair clips (which she refuses to wear) and dolls. Definitely the essentials!
    I LOVE the meme of wanting a life that I don't need a vacation from, that is just perfect.
    Happy Wednesday!

  30. I wonder if you've ever practiced Tai Chi Linda? It's quite popular in this part of the world. I've never participated in a class though. It does look very relaxing.

  39. Happy Birthday, Linda! A few days late, but I hope that you had a lovely day! "I wonder which mistake I'm going to learn from today?" LOL That's the story of my life! I got a kick out of your videos, from the sweet cat and German Shepherd, to Glenn Miller (whom my father loved), to the cignet rescue, and Candid Camera. Darn, just what I forgot to pack, a bottle of peaches! You have to love kids! Tai Chi for women? I lost track of the video, because the Cubs just won the World Series, and I was jumping around our hotel room. Take care my friend! Sending you love and hugs!
