Enthusiasm is contagious.  Go out each day smiling and start an epidemic.  :)


A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows the public opinion. - Grantland Rice


I want to live a simple life without stress or worry.  I don't need a lot of stuff.  I just want to be happy.


I have decided to stick with love.  Hate is too great a burden to bear. - Martin Luther King


Look back in forgiveness, forward in hope, down in compassion and up with gratitude. - Zig Ziglar


The worst bullies you will encounter are your thoughts.


Never let the opinions of others become the measure of your self worth.


Body love is about self-worth in general.  It's more than our physical appearance. - Mary Lambert


When you can't control what's happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what's happening.


Rise above the storm and you will find the sunshine.


I may not be able to prevent life's storms...but at least I can walk through them in style!  :)


Be with someone who is good for your mental health.


Forgiveness is not an event.  It is a series of decisions made over and over again.


Sometimes life shakes you up to wake you up. Breathe and trust the process.


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!

  2. The grandma looks too young to be a grandma. Or maybe I'm just getting old.

    Adorable otter!

  17. Some super videos today, Linda. I laughed out loud at the Clydesdales having a snowball fight. Lots of great posters, too, which were very helpful. And that Canadian garden...so lush. Wishing you a wonderful day!

  18. Because I love horses I struggled to get the Budweiser Clydesdale Horses Snowball Fight to work eventually. One day they will speed up our internet! I loved it, so very cute. Have a great weekend Diane

  22. I believe that life shakes you up to wake you up, if I can figure out what I was being too sleepy about...

  23. I'd heard the story of the grandma who invites the wrong person to dinner and after discovering he wasn't her grandson, asks him to come anyway. Heartwarming!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I loved the story about the grandmother inviting a stranger for Thanksgiving. How cool is that.

    Loved the Budweiser commercial. I don't think anyone does better commercials.

    Have a fabulous day and weekend Linda. Big hugs. ♥♥♥

  26. Really love today's quotes - very encouraging! I try what's said in Higher Perspective. Sometimes you can't control things but you can definitely control how you respond to it with a right mindset.

  27. Hi Linda, That story about the grandmother who invited the wrong 'grandson' to Thanksgiving Dinner is all over the news here in the USA. It's a real 'feel good' story. Grandma ended up inviting his whole family so now she's cooking for 20!

    I wish that I had an otter for a friend. They are beautiful and smart plus they're fun to watch. As for the Mickey Mouse Club...those were true days of innocence!

    Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  46. Hi Linda. I hope you are enjoying a wonderful Sunday. I like that advice about having an independent point of view. Following the crowd is not a good way to go.

    Sweet greetings,

  49. Hi Linda! For some reason, my computer wouldn't load the videos today :(. But, I really connected with the meme about the most negative things we will ever hear come from ourselves. Truth! Gotta keep silencing that negative voice.
    Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday!
