A true friend doesn't care if you're broke, upset, what you weight, if your house is a mess, what car you drive or if your family is filled with crazy people. They love you for who you are.
I was going to take over the world this morning, but I overslept. Postponed...again! :)
We are put in each other's lives to help each other.
A strong woman may remain silent when people talk behind her back, but that doesn't mean she doesn't notice. It simply means she chooses not to waste her energy on foolishness. She has more important things to do.
When I look back on my life, I see pain, mistakes and heartache. When I look in the mirror I see strength, learned lessons and pride in myself.
Always find a reason to laugh. It may not add years to your life but will surely add life to your years. :)
As you think, so shall you become. - Bruce Lee
Be strong and move on. It's time for you to be happy again.
When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we get to write a brave new ending. - Brene Brown
It's okay to be scared. It means you're about to stretch yourself out of your comfort zone and grow a little.
Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand. - Chinese Proverb
We don't have to agree on anything to be kind to one another.
An over-indulgence of anything, even something as pure as water, can intoxicate. - Criss Jami
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens. - J. R. R. Tolkien
We don't have to agree to be kind! True!

Ciao e buona serata cara amica con un forte abbraccio e un sorriso:-)

ReplyDeleteHello, Linda! I love the cute duckling video. Wonderful images and quotes. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend. I wish you all the best in 2017, Happy New Year!
ReplyDeletethank you of being blog friend Linda:) Happy New Year 2017!
ReplyDeleteSuch a positive collection today, Linda. Happy new year to you.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda! What I wish for you, is to believe that 2017 will bring you "the best." Let not lose hope - that is the force that moves us - and be able to always be happy with the less good things, believing that the beginning of a new year allows us to believe that anything is possible.
ReplyDeleteOh the 13 year old that volunteers at the VA hospital. He's awesome.
ReplyDeleteAwww, on the ducklings. We love watching them in the spring at our marina. So precious.
I too hope your 2017 is filled with many good things.
Have a fabulous day Linda. ♥♥♥
Laughter adds life to your years...I like that. Happy New Year, sweet Linda.

Happy Happy Early New Year to you!!! xoxo catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteThat PBS video was fascinating! Reminded me of my EEG and how I thought to myself, "I don't really know how all this works, but it must mean something if they're going through all this trouble to take a look at it!"
ReplyDeleteI also really appreciated the quote about feeling fear and that being okay, it's just a sign that you're about to challenge yourself and grow :o)
Thanks Linda! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you too Linda, thank you for all the thoughtful and fun posts you share with us :D)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!:)

The cute ducklings reminded me of my younger days when mom used to keep pigs, ducks and chickens behind our house in the village. I love to hold the cute ducklings and chicks in my hands. They are so soft!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you, dear Linda!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Linda!
ReplyDeleteWonderful videos and quotes Linda!!! Happy New Year and I look forward to many more of your videos and quotes in 2017!!!!
ReplyDeleteBonne année chère Linda, dans la joie, la douceur, la tendresse et surtout la santé! Gros bisous!
ReplyDeleteHi LInda, I hope you had a nice Christmas and I wish you a wonderful New Year! Thanks for having such a fun blog!
ReplyDeleteLinda, Love that teen volunteer talker at the Veterans Hospital! Autistic but he found a purpose that brought him way out of his shell...Good Story! Ducks do nest in the darndest places...median strips, planters, under bushes in front yards, etc., wherever they think might be safe.
ReplyDeleteThe "Nuttin for Christmas" song took me way back...and it reminded me just how old I am! Yikes! I remember that one clearly.
As for oversleeping like that dog...as a retired couple, there is no thing such as oversleeping unless we have a golf outing, we're on a trip or we have a doctor's appointment! Heck, we lose track of which day of the week it is!
Have a Happy and Healthy New Year! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Hello dear Linda~ always such a joy visiting with you.
ReplyDeleteMy grandson and his choir class sang the song "I'm getting nothing for Christmas "and that was the first time I had ever heard that song. Thanks for the video.
It has been a joy to follow along with you and I look forward to seeing what you share with us in the New Year.
Blessings♡
I am going to take over the world while day dreaming.
ReplyDeleteA great fulfillment.
Happy New Year 2016 to you, Linda.

Thanks for stopping by to visit, Linda - lovely to see your post from Montreal, Canada - i.e. 'The Far Side'. Cheers, Win
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Linda! I thoroughly enjoyed your quotes today, especially about conquering the world LOL One of my promises to myself this year is to not procrastinate in the little things. Somehow, I fell into the habit of thinking that if it was not immediately needed, it was not advantageous to tackle it. So a few months ago, I started, and it has been great "conquering my world" in this way. Especially those times I just don't have it in me to do the work. You know what I mean? I just force myself anyway, and work on it a little at a time until it is done. Amazing how much administrative and deep cleaning type of things I've gotten done in 5 minute increments!
ReplyDeleteI also appreciate the sentiment about those who talk behind our backs - it always amused me that they would think I was oblivious, when I was just being kind and compassionate. Maybe Graciousness and Kindness are beginning to seem like weakness to many of our society's people. Or perhaps those of us who fall through the cracks are a tad more sensitive to seeing the insecurities of others who feel they are superior or righteous?
I'm probably trying to convey too much in tiny sentences that make me sound UN-nice - but I think you know me well enough to catch the gist of what I mean - thank you for the encouragement and the reminder in your final quote to keep all things in moderation.
Happy New Year, sweet friend! Hoping your year is a big improvement and that the nasty D stays away.
hugs,
de
Happy New Year, Linda! I'm not much of a morning person so I can definitely relate to the "Postponed...Again!". HA!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the visit and kind comments from Montreal! I also have some Twinings tea in my cupboard!
I always love the videos on your blog, Linda.
ReplyDeleteHappy New year 2017! С Новым годом!

Happy New Year!
The Cat Art by Tammy Fleetwood Moody was one of my favorites today - I'm teaching that next week and I'll show the kids that picture.
ReplyDeleteSorry that I've been away, sweet friend. My mom is suffering from a rapid decline with dementia. Every time I get off the phone with her, I'm in tears. She is SO confused and has turned into a different person. It's sad and drains me.
But it's a new year and I am going forward, looking for the positive in all this. It's there, somewhere.
Hugs and love, my friend. May God bless you richly in the new year. You deserve it!
You always have the most enchanting quotes and cute pictures on here. Happy New Year, Linda! I hope much goodness comes your way this year. :)

ReplyDeleteI was going to take over the world this morning, but I overslept.
