Christmas 2016 - How Christmas Feels When You Have a Cat :)
For the health of my mind, body and spirit, I choose to walk with: gratitude, not envy. Faith, not worry. Confidence, not fear. Kindness, not anger. - Charles F. Glassman
Deeds of giving are the very foundations of the world.
I can't today, I just can't....Toucan't. :)
Knowledge is not intelligence. In searching for the truth be ready for the unexpected. - Heraclitus
We can all feel a little damaged sometimes...but remember, a broken crayon can draw just as colorfully as a whole crayon.
Expose yourself to your deepest fear. After that, you are free. - Jim Morrison
Exercise is the most potent and underutilized antidepressant, and it's free.
Beautiful faces are everywhere, but beautiful minds are hard to find.
I don't chase after people anymore. If they like spending time with me, they will do so. If not, I'm content in my own company. - Barry M. Sherbal
You live longer once you realize that time spent being unhappy is time wasted.
What happened is done. Stop giving time to things from your past, which no longer exist, when there's joy to be found right in front of you.
Time heals all wounds, unless you pick at them. - Shaun Alexander

My daughter has had afternoon tea at the savoy when she used to work in London. My husband and I have stayed at the Dorchester on a trip to London but we had an evening dinner not the tea.
ReplyDeleteHow Christmas Feels When You Have a Cat is very nice to see, but sin about all that beautiful things.Ik wish you a nice weekend Linda.
ReplyDeleteHola Linda, como siempre gran trabajo. Muchas gracias. Me gusta todo pero en especial el baño del perrito, resulta divertido y tierno. Un beso y se muy feliz.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda--so true about exercise being the BEST anti-depressant out there. If I'm having a bad day, nothing fixes it better than a long walk!
ReplyDeleteLoved the Cats at Christmas video. Yea....that brought back a few memories of toppling trees and a mischievous cat!
Pug and the baby goat are so cute:)
ReplyDeleteOh! Baby goat is so cute! ☺
ReplyDeleteBelos filmes, gostei.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

I love your choice of quotes for this post and I've heard only good things about afternoon tea at the Savoy - certainly something I plan on trying this winter! :)

The goat was adorable. I loved watching it exhibit what comes naturally to a goat...head butting. I enjoyed the cat video...once I realized it was a commercial. And I enjoyed the lessons from a pencil.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW...I am totally uplifted yet again!
ReplyDeleteSo many truths here...where can I begin to express how these touch the very depths of my being...
"Earth was made for all beings, NOT just for human beings" how true is that??
And a most valuable lesson for us all to learn...and remember!
Hope you are well, dearest Linda...
And Much Love & Hugs xoxoxo
Fabulous sayings Linda but the one which won my heart today is 'Earth was made for all beings, not just human beings'. I just wish more people would take that to heart, no more hunting for fun or killing for 'medicines'. Maybe our wildlife would have a chance instead of so many being on the endangered list.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend Diane
How fun just to watch the pug having his bath! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI like the quote about exercise being the most potent antidepressant. So true!
ReplyDeleteThe pug, and the goat and horse are all adorable, Linda!
ReplyDeleteFunny toucan one
ReplyDeleteHappy Week-end! Exercise is on the agenda!
ReplyDeleteAfternoon Tea -> looks so good, Linda... !
ReplyDeleteOkay the cats and the Christmas decorations was my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLoved the goat and the horse.
Really love the dogs bath.
How about the two of us have tea at each of those hotels. It would be great fun.
Have a fabulous day and weekend Linda. Big hugs. ♥♥♥
I think the Savoy and the Dorchester might be a little too rich for my blood...but I wouldn't mind looking around in those places. I do like the goat and the horse. Our daughter has goats and a horse and they get along well. Thanks for some wonderful posters, again, too. I found just the right one for today! Have a wonderful weekend, Linda!
ReplyDeleteBonsoir Linda,
ReplyDeleteje suis venue cet après-midi mais je n'arrivais pas à déposer de commentaire.
Ton article est si beau. Il est remplit de jolies choses. Et toi as tu commencé tes décorations de Noël ?
Belle fin de semaine. Je t'embrasse
Hi. Awesome videos. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteTout beau!!! Bise, bonne journée toute douce!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting videos. Great quotes. Have a blessed evening. Madeline
ReplyDeleteNice reminders and good wisdom
ReplyDeleteWell I do love my cup of tea ...
ReplyDeleteAfternoon tea may be very nice!
Wishing you a good weekend
All the best Jan
Classy, the Savoy! I love those rich buttery scones with Devonshire clotted cream and fruit jam. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteAwww the baby goat is so adorable! And the pug taking bath made me smile :-) I really enjoyed today's videos :-)
ReplyDeleteAhhhh thank you! Soothing and smiles do me good :o)
ReplyDeleteHow true. Time being unhappy is time wasted! Thanks for the reminder, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that goats could walk on their back legs. So funny.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love afternoon tea. Makes one feel so civilized.
Love the little goat with the horse !
ReplyDeleteLove the goat and the horse video Linda. It's good to see friendships develop from nothing like that. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteBonjour. J'ai aimé la phrase sur les connaissances.
ReplyDeleteGros bisous.
Love the baby goat Linda! And wonderful quotes as always!!! Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Afternoon Tea. Those at the Savoy and The Dorchester must be so elegant and delicious. Have a happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! I love the tradition of afternoon tea -- so relaxing yet elegant! An experience to be savored, as is your lovely blog. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHi, Linda! Thanks for educating me (in your comment on my blog) about how you used to be able to respond to comments through your reader. Such a shame that option is no longer available. Your little goat meeting horse is darling! And I especially liked the quip about facing our fears. My uncle and I enjoy delving into those things we most fear - mostly because we know it will make us better people, with greater capacity at compassion and empathy. Being free to acknowledge our own fears (particularly our flaws) brings everything out into the open so that Shame has no grip on us.
ReplyDeleteSomething happened last week which triggered that icky Shame again. I offered the incident back to the Universe, and knew that the feeling would soon dissipate. But it is your (once again) timely reminder to let the Past remain in the Past that helped me tremendously today. THANK YOU, blogging friend! Thanks for always having the right words to pierce my heart... always for the better. THAT is what true friends do. hugs, de
belle citatin de Shaun Alexander Linda
ReplyDeletehave a nice weekend
Great work so inspiring! Especially on the days that have a bump in them!
ReplyDeleteI liked Baby Goat Meets Horse, thank you Linda!
ReplyDeleteHi,Linda!!!!!

Have a great Sunday Linda!!!!

Hello Linda!:) Those hotels are lovely places to have tea, and the cakes and scones look scrumptious. Loved the goat and horse clip, and the Pugs enjoyment of his bath was great to see. Thank you!:) Hugs from Portugal.X
ReplyDeleteThe pug is just too cute. I also love the goat and horse. I tend to gravitate towards animal videos. :) Very uplifting post. Have a lovely day.

Happy Sunday, Linda! I'm reading all the jaw-dropping quotes in this inspiring post ~ jaw dropping because they are so very, very true! I would have loved to hang the pencil one in my classroom, because my kiddos could connect with colored pencils and those three "learnings" are fundamental.
ReplyDeleteThe Jim Morrison quote, "Expose yourself to your deepest fear. After that, you are free," is absolutely true. It's taken me decades to mostly overcome my fear of heights, but I've exposed myself to scary areas and have come so far. Right now I working on a fear that has hampered me much of my life, and that is driving. Bullhead City is full of roads that have all the things that scare me, but the speeds are lower on the steep, long downhill stretches. So I'm forcing myself out to drive almost every day for longer and longer stretches of time. Maybe now I can finally overcome my panic attacks! I'm heading out in a few minutes to go at it again.
So many other things I could comment on in the videos and the quotes, but I'll stop now! Have a lovely Sunday, my cherished friend! Sending to much love and hugs!
Nice post, dear <3

I actually know two chefs that used to work at the Savoy. Apparently they even prepared food for the queen!
ReplyDeleteI really like the "Expose yourself to your deepest fear. After that, you are free" quote! Reminds me of my favorite quote from Mother Superior in the Sound of Music: "There walls were not built to shut out problems; you have to face them! You have to live the life you were born to live." As the scriptures say, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, of power, and of a sound mind! I pray for his courage, strength, and wisdom. Thanks for an encouraging post, and blessings to you, Linda!
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely and fun post, dear Linda. I so enjoyed the baby goat with that beautiful horse and the Pug getting a bath 😃
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy my visits here and I always leave feeling a bit lighter in my heart. Thank you, so much 💖
Linda, Those afternoon teas look very nice indeed, but I don't think that the Savoy would want me wandering in wearing my cargo shorts and a golf shirt with tennis shoes. Dressed up for me means black cotton slacks and a golf shirt...tops! Any more than that, count me out. Love that baby goat and the horse... I think that the horse was as interested in the goat as vice versa! That Pug in his bath reminds me of the daily full massage that our cat receives from my wife! What a life! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better Linda!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for another terrific post! I wonder why that baby goat kept going up on it's legs?? So cute! And, I love that pug! LOL!
Big Hugs!
I do hope you're better. How are the two older ladies? Thanks for a wonderful post and have a good week!
ReplyDeleteI can't today, I just can't....Toucan't. <-- Funny! ^.^
