Country Sunshine - Dottie West
Can You Feel the Love Tonight - Elton John
Smile a Little Smile for Me - The Flying Machine
Try a Little Kindness - Glen Campbell
Aime - Bruno Pelletier (this is a French song, "Aime", which means "Love". It is a beautiful song and you don't need to understand French to appreciate the beautiful tune. The lyrics are lovely, and I am sure my French readers are familiar with this song). :) Bruno Pelletier is a francophone Quebec singer.

There's always something to be grateful for and something good coming. (please remember that!)
Inside all challenges are golden nuggets of insight and opportunity.
Coffee: a warm, delicious alternative to hating everything and everybody every morning. :)
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself. - Groucho Marx :)
There is something in even the darkest situations that we can make a positive in our lives. - Deborah Norville
With love and patience, nothing is impossible.
The wound is the place where the light enters you. - Rumi
A bad mood is never an excuse to use cruel words. Never. Moods pass but cruel words wound the soul.
When you are depressed about the past or stressed out about the future, bring your attention back to your breath. Breathing is a here and now experience, it takes you back to what is happening this very second.
Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. - Dr. Seuss
Love is a meeting of two souls, fully accepting the dark and light within each other.
Like a lotus flower we too have the ability to rise from the mud, bloom out of the darkness and radiate into the world.
In a world where you can be anything...be kind.
Life is good because I decided to make it that way.

Hello Linda,

Country Sunshine is beautiful Linda. I wish you a good new week.
ReplyDeleteHa-the coffee quote is really relevant right now as I am WAITING on my pokey slow coffee maker! Have a good week, Linda
ReplyDeletela chanson de Elton John me plaît beaucoup Linda
ReplyDeletehave a ice day
There is always something to be grateful for and something good coming, and today it’s your blog and all the lovely videos I’m enjoying right now. xx
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, wonderful songs and inspiring words. I am grateful for each day I wake up. Life is good! Thanks for sharing. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI remember this song - try a little kindness. Its been a long time I have heard this song playing. Beautiful song. This world needs more kindness.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! I loved all the music - that's music I listened to as I was growing up (well, except for the beautiful French song)...and all the posters were relevant and significant. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThe coffee one made me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteAs always, very ispiring:)
ReplyDeleteI grew up learning how to fight and defend myself, and it's taken me a long time to realize that I still fight, even when there is no need to. Turning my thoughts to a positive frame of mind is an ongoing journey.
ReplyDeleteI loved all the music videos. Very good choices.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day Linda. xoxo ♥♥♥
Linda, Your upbeat videos and positive messages are always welcome...especially when the day isn't going well. Here in the USA we need some positive vibes right now given our political situation and divisiveness. But, as the man said, "You can't fix stupid." Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteI love the Lion King! Thanks for posting the cute video.
ReplyDeleteNice quotes and videos! I happened to read your comment up above about you being 60 and your birthday a month ago and then I thought, wait, that's not that old (but older than me) as I will there in January.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words all of them but 'With love and patience, nothing is impossible' so very true I have done things which I never though possible (especially with horses during my riding days).
ReplyDeleteWish I could play the French song but.....
They keep promising us faster WIFI but then they tell us there is not money available for it!!
Hope you have a fabulous week. Diane
Great musical videos. Wonderful quotes. Have a blessed day and a wonderful week. Madeline
ReplyDeleteI loved the quotes, especially the 1st one and last one. I try to be always positive. Being negative won't go anywhere.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely new week, Linda!
That last image really speaks to me!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! I remember Dottie West, and it was fun to see her video here. The meme about not speaking in a bad mood is such a relatable one. Moods pass, words stay forever. Those are such wise words.
ReplyDeleteMonday blessings,
Ceil
Hello Linda, you always find so wise quotations!
ReplyDeleteConsciously or unconsciously, I try to choose a favourite to remember, but it's difficult because everyone is more beautiful and useful than the other. :)
Thank you very much for these fun and uplifting posts. Have a happy new week! ♥
Nice quotes, Linda !
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, Thank you for visiting my blog~I appreciate your kind words. You too have a lovely blog-what great & important sayings with the perfect graphics. May your week be filled with smiles and love!

These are so good! I like the one about learning from others' mistakes because you can never make them all yourself!
ReplyDeleteThank s for the uplifting post as always and especially now. and for your kind comment.. my hands are healing, I can type using a stylus with my left hand! Much to be grateful for.
ReplyDeleteMerci Linda pour ce beau moment! Gros bisous, bonne soirée dans la joie et la tendresse!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more with the coffee quote!
ReplyDelete"Smile a little smile for me" was a hit here a long time ago but it was the version by a guy named Tony Christie. Love that song!
ReplyDeleteI recognize all but one of those singers...pretty good for me:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful selection here. I particularly like the Elton John music and your quotes too are excellent, if I had to choose one it would be 'In a world where you can be anything...be kind'
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of Monday and have a good week ahead.
All the best Jan
I love the wisdom about kindness.
ReplyDeleteVery uplifting as usual, with wonderful reminders of how to respond to challenges.
ReplyDeleteThe one about moods never being an excuse for cruel words is so true. Words can hurt people--or help them--so much. We have to use them for good.
ReplyDeleteI also really like the quote "Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself." That one made me smile!
Thanks Linda!
Yes about the coffee!
