Shine your light!
Never lose hope...the butterfly is proof that beauty can emerge from something completely falling apart.
It isn't the size of the gift that matters, but the size of the heart that gives it.
No matter how big your house is, how recent your car is, or how big your bank account is, our graves will always be the same size. Stay humble.
Some days I wish I could go back in life. Not to change anything, but to feel a few things twice.
The older I get, the more I realize I just need the simple things in life: a comfy home, good food on the table and surrounded by the people I love.
Happier days are coming.
Repeat after me: I am grateful for all I have.
By letting go...it all gets done. - Lao Tzu
Discussions are always better than arguments, because an argument is to find out who is right, and a discussion is to find out what is right.
It's not how big the house is, it's how happy the home is.
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!
A Blessed Christmas to you and all your loved ones. Joy to the world, cheers!!!

ReplyDeleteAh, dear Linda, I enjoyed these delightful videos so much. The Jars of Joy was a super idea, and the calf with his best friend was great fun to watch. Quebec looks like such a wonderful city, especially during the holidays. Thanks much for this fine post!

ReplyDeleteHi, Linda. As I watched the "Jars of Joy" video, all I could think about was how you've been doing that very thing on your blog for a long time. :)

ReplyDeleteHappy Friday Linda and I wish you a very Merry Christmas this year xox
ReplyDeleteI love this quote, it is one of my favorites: Never lose hope...the butterfly is proof that beauty can emerge from something completely falling apart. <3
Christmas in Quebec looks glorious. Hope your holidays will shine that brightly.
ReplyDeleteThe video of calf is so sweet! It's so lovely to see Brody being happy :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the art of kitty and koi fish. Happy Friday!
that's true about the happy home
ReplyDeleteLinda, That steer sure loves 'his' buddy the goat and all the other animals too. He's very playful! Can't help but feel sorry for that pit bull... He's had a sad life to date and desperately wants a bit of loving. Quebec City and Montreal are indeed beautiful at Christmas...but I'll never see it! As pretty as they are, I'm not going north in the winter. The less snow I see the happier I am. I totally agree that it's not how big the house is, it's how happy the home is! MERRY CHRISTMAS! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteThat poor pit bull! It was hard to watch him and see the scars on his body and imagine how much he had suffered ~ and then to see him responding to the gentlest touch. Just heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Thanks for sharing the lovely video of winter in Quebec City ~ They certainly know how to make the most of the holiday season. I loved the Power of Positivity quote; I have quite a few things I'd like to go back and experience again, just for the sheer joy of enjoying them again. Sending you lots of love and big hugs, my special friend!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!!! Great shares, very uplifting! <3 - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, I fully agree with the quote that says that the older I get, the more I realize I just need the simple things in life: a comfy home, good food on the table and surrounded by the people I love. May you continue to touch the lives of people you meet with your kindness and love. Hugs! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteSuper Christmas video. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
Hello Linda, Happy weekend! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteIt's a blessing to meet someone by chance and form a lifelong friendship. Wishing you a Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYou've picked a lot of beautiful things for Christmas this weekend :-)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I want you and all your loved ones wish a very merry Christmas and all the good and beautiful for 2017.
A hug Helma
Una feliz Navidad para ti y los tuyos y el próximo años te llegue cargado de ventura.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Merry Christmas, Linda!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I love all these positive messages! The butterfly is my favorite, because to me it symbolizes being born again. Here is a link to a blog post I wrote about that, and within it there is a link to a video of dancing to the same theme: http://savedbygracebiblestudy.blogspot.com/2014/03/new-creature.html
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas & God bless!

I wish you a Merry Christmas!!!!!

Merry Christmas! ^_^
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI had pushed preview and I think things were acting up and it never came up so I will try to remember.
The pitbull video reminded me much of our Buddy. He would make those same cute noises and behave much the same way...Very sweet creatures. I hope that pitbull made it into a sweet loving home. He deserves it. These things break my heart.
The calf..Oh how sad at first but it looks like he has a lovely adopted family. So thankful for folks who care for our fur angels. How can we not?
Your quotes are great and that springtime color print by Vavasseur is so pretty, I need to look more of his work up.
I hope you have a sweet and most Peaceful of Christmases.
May your Christmas weekend be a splendid one. You sure did put a lot to keep one busy in one spot! Thanks but I have to watch it in stages for it's a very busy time.
ReplyDelete"The older I get, the more I realize I just need the simple things in life: a comfy home, good food on the table and surrounded by the people I love," ...
ReplyDeletethis sounds so good to me!
Merry Christmas Wishes
All the best Jan

It will come to you
like the new moon silently sinks away at night,
when the mist descends above the lake…

ReplyDeleteIt isn't the size of the gift that matters, but the size of the heart that gives it.
ReplyDeleteI wholly agree. And it doesn't matter if we don't get a gift, their presence is enough. x
