Overthinking can destroy our mood. Just breathe and let it go!
Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move on. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness. - Steve Maraboli
Once you begin to acknowledge random acts of kindness - both the ones you have received and the ones you have given - you can no longer believe that what you do does not matter. - Dawna Markova
Be nice. And if you can't do that, just don't be mean. - Richelle E. Goodrich
Music doesn't always have to have words to touch your heart, sometimes just a melody can take you places you can only dream of.
Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure everything out. Surrender to what is. Let go of what was. Have faith in what will be. - Sonia Ricotti
Life is a journey, not a destination. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Anyone can run away. It's super easy. Facing problems and working through them, that's what makes you strong.
Repeat after me: my current situation is not my permanent destination.
Never underestimate the power of good morning texts, apologies and random compliments.
Stop focusing on how stressed you are and remember how blessed you are.
When someone is going through a storm your silent presence is more powerful than a million empty words.
Just a quick reminder: you can handle anything this day throws at you.
Stop overthinking. You can't control everything, just let it be.
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!
Happy Monday Linda... xox
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for dropping by and commenting on my blog xox... I think Tai Chi would be good for me too... I am going to start out with simple yoga... mostly just some stretching... I know swimming would help me if I could afford to go regularly... One day I can get back to walking when I become stronger... Have a wonderful week ahead xox
Oh Tim Horton! This was one of the first cafes I visited on my trip to Canada many years ago. It came highly recommended.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quotes today Linda, gave me lots to think about. The Scottish dancers were a joy to see particularly as I am in the process to moving to a Scottish Island. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, Linda!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the nice quotes!
Maybe I should start with good morning texts :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week!
Hello Linda, It was fascinating to see how much the bat was enjoying the cuddle, his/her eyes were showing it as much as the little noises!
ReplyDeleteThe 1940s house was so charming to see in its Christmas decorations. The enamel plates etc, all brought back memories.
Lovely quotations too.
Enjoy your week and cheerio for now :D)
I enjoy those look back video's of the 40's and this Christmas one was very nice.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful week, Linda
Another beautiful post to read through. It was nice to see the natural predator...
ReplyDeleteNature's Perfect, is very nice to see Linda, I wish you a good new week.
ReplyDelete"Life is a journey, not a destination".. une belle citation Linda
ReplyDeletegreetings
Nice selection today...I could use some Tim Horton's right now...Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Linda! Wonderful words of wisdom. Great quotes and post. Happy Monday, enjoy your day and new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I see a bat up close. After watching the video of the praying mantis, I no longer think of it as a harmless insect. Its scary how it attacks its prey. Have a wonderful day, Linda.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday Linda! I’m sitting in my office/book room looking out at the torrential rain – thank you for brightening my morning with all these lovely offerings. Barbara x
ReplyDeleteLife is a journey, not a destination. I had to be older to really appreciate this statement. That's part of the journey I imagine.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Linda :) Encore une superbe serie de citations: sage et optimiste. Excellent pour commencer la semaine. J'espère que ta santé se porte bien :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Linda. Nice to "meet" you. Loved the Scottish country dance video. Every time I watch a period piece, I have fantasies about doing some of those dances. There's just something about them, isn't there?
ReplyDeleteFabulous round-up! Have a great week, dear! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI've always been a quote person..it is as if someone is telling me these things.I loved many of yours today..
ReplyDeleteStay warm:)
I'm a sucker for the 1940's videos...so nostalgic. Sometimes I really would like to go back to those days even though I know there was a lot wrong. We've come a long way, especially in the area of medicine, but as I've gotten older I feel less connected to what I think is the craziness in society. Anyway, thanks for the video and those wonderful Salmansohn posters! Have a great day and a super week!
ReplyDeleteOverthinking is my vice.
ReplyDeleteI love bats. I think they're so stinkin' cute!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Linda. Another great post. Enjoyed the videos and all the quotes were great. Have a blessed day and a wonderful week. Madeline
ReplyDeleteSuch an interesting video about the praying mantis. They're such interesting creatures. But very efficient predators, apparently. I enjoyed the dance video, too. My favorite quote of the day: Surrender to what is. Let go of what was. Have faith in what will be.
ReplyDeleteCoffee you can curl on. That was very funny.
ReplyDeleteOh on the bat. So cute. I linked you to Awww Mondays. I didn't know bats were that cute.
Loved the 40s house decorated for Christmas. The music was perfect too.
Have a fabulous day Linda. Big hugs. ♥♥♥
I can't recall ever seeing that Air Farce bit before! Very funny!
ReplyDeleteThe Tim Horton video (watched it on YouTube) was hilarious. There was a great Tim Horton's near my old house in Michigan. Unfortunately, there are none in Oregon. I really miss it! Loved the sweet young bat & the 40s house, too. Great quotes - took many to heart. Great way to start the week. Thank you, Linda!
ReplyDeleteMerry Monday to you, Dearie, and thank you for filling the first day of my week with such a gladness !
ReplyDeleteHope your New Year is off to a good start,
I'm sending hugs and ever much love to you,
may the new week be filled with joy and blessings
Xx Dany
The Scottish Country Dance is really cute.
ReplyDeleteAgree with that - When someone is going through a storm your silent presence is more powerful than a million empty words.
Great videos and quotes! True about music. I in fact prefer music without words.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Nature's Perfect Predators.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, lovely set today. I do hope you are keeping warm.
ReplyDeleteLinda, Love the Tim Horton's comic bit. FYI...Tim Horton's is better than Dunkin Donuts here in the states! Love that sweet bat face...although I'm not crazy about bats. Our biggest bat experiences were in Australia when the Fox bats flew into town at night to roost. It was awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe 1940's house at Christmas reminded me a lot of our house at Christmas in the early 50s. I like the saying about overthinking. I use it a lot connecting it to worrying about things you can't change...just breathe and let them go! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
overthinking is something I ALWAYS have to work on. Have a great day! catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteHello. Lovely pictures you have put your blog. I really liked a lot.
ReplyDeleteMerci ma belle Linda! Gros bisous, bonne journée!
ReplyDeleteBuon lunedì anche a te e buon anno nuovo !!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo favourites today as I think they are all great. You amaze me how you find all these great sayings. Have a good week Diane
ReplyDelete'Be nice...' -> you are, Linda !
ReplyDeleteLOVE THE BAT VIDEOS!
ReplyDeleteI really liked all the quotes you posted today!
ReplyDeleteYes, I always tell my girl - she thinks too much, such a worrier...and it makes her moody. All in the head, I would tell her, all in the head!
ReplyDeleteI love all the beautiful quotes - so many gems of wisdom here.
ReplyDeleteThe Scottish Dance (Competition?) just blew me away, friend Linda ... it reminded me of my clogging completion days ... so much tradition, so powerful ... Love, cat.
ReplyDelete... as for the bat videos, me not so sure ... was bitten by a rabid bat in 1994, had 2 go through a whole series of shots for a couple of months ... have been scared of needles as well as bats ever since ... ya ... hmmm ... smiles ... Love, cat.
ReplyDeleteHey there Linda, I enjoyed all the positive things you shared here and I wanted to be able to say thank you for your visit to my space and taking the time to leave kind words for me, I appreciate it so much.
ReplyDeleteBreathing and letting go is my doctor's new perscription for me:)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, so many of those quotes were meant just for me, Linda. Thank you for sharing them. I'm going back to read them again. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteSo many clever quotes... :) I like it.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that bat video! That is really cute. My husband thought it was a dog, I had to convince him it was a bat. Very, very cute!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to come back and look at that preying mantis, it looks like a neat video as well.
You always post such interesting things Linda! The 40s home is always an interest. : ) We have to love those 40s right?
You take care now, the quotes are great reminders.
Blessings!
El vídeo de la casa adornada como en 1940 muy interesante, seguro que dentro de 80 años también les llamara la atención de la forma de adornar hoy día la casa.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Lots of food for thought! Good reminders for a balance in life and living on earth.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda - your Monday post is always something I look forward to - it gets my week off to a wonderful start. The one quote you shared about "life is a journey and not a destination" is something my Mom would quote to me. So true friend. Thank you for reminding me about what is important. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful words of wisdom and positivity to drink in. Love the quotes. How charming is that 1940's house. It is filled with a lovely festive air. Thank you so much for visiting my little place, Linda.
ReplyDeleteYou were so right about the hat going back and forth on the Tim Horton's commercial-funny! I also enjoyed the adorable bat <3 Thanks Linda!
ReplyDeleteI really like the "Anyone can run away. It's super easy. Facing problems and working through them, that's what makes you strong" quote. It reminds me of Mother Superior's advice to Maria in The Sound of Music about facing her problems. Have a beautiful day, Linda!
ReplyDeleteWhat a selection of videos you featured in this post, Linda, from the funny "Coffee You Can Curl On", to the sweet little bat, to the Christmas decorations (with thoughtful carrot, cookies, and shot of brandy for Santa and crew), to the terrifying praying mantis, to the Scottish Country Dancing. I remember just enough of the Scottish Country Dancing Terry and I did over thirty years ago to recognize that it was a strathspey. I have to admit that I'm finding Country Line Dancing much more fun, one of the unexpected pleasures I stumbled across in Bullhead City. I never know what to expect when I click on your blog, but I know it will always be informative, inspiring, and fun. These posts take a lot of effort on your part, and I thoroughly appreciate and enjoy the results! Take care, my special friend!
ReplyDeleteLOL @ the Coffee to curl on video =D (It's a miracle the ice was still so white..)
ReplyDeleteScottish country dancing reminded me of when my daughter did it at school. She sometimes competed with the other schools. It is quite a big thing here and a lot of fan. You can't beat a good ceilidh either. Thank you for the great quotes too. Xx
ReplyDeleteJust a quick reminder: you can handle anything this day throws at you. <--- with coffee..haha!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday, Linda. Wishing you a wonderful day ahead. Thank you for these encouraging words. :)
Thank you Linda! I love the bat! Big Hugs!
