Some of the deepest wounds never leave a mark...be kind; you never know the invisible hurts others might be carrying.
Greet the day with gratitude...there's always something to be thankful for!
No matter what's happened in the past...celebrate even the tiniest progress, laugh and move forward with gratitude in your heart!
My goal is to be as good of a person as my dog already thinks I am.
True friends are never apart, maybe in distance but never in heart.

Sadness, disappointment and severe challenge are events in life, not life itself.
Surround yourself with cheerleaders, not fear leaders.
Become the person you needed when you were younger.
10% of conflict is due to difference in opinion and 90% is due to delivery and tone of voice.
You either get bitter or you get better. It's that simple. You either take what has been dealt to you and allow it to make you a better person, or you allow it to tear you down. The choice does not belong to fate, it belongs to you. - Josh Shipp

ReplyDeleteThank you Linda for this wonderful post. This is what I particularly like and completely agree: Greet the day with gratitude...there's always something to be thankful for! - Have a good week! Greetings from Finland.
ReplyDeleteWater fountains are a pretty and soothing sight. They attract not only people but also pigeons. Wherever I go I like to visit the square with the fountain (the piazza).
ReplyDeleteIndeed we should greet the day with gratitude for the very reason that we were able to wake up and get off the bed to start a new day.
The Dusky Wood Swallow, is a beautiful bird, which we don't know here Linda. I wish you a good start of the new week.

ReplyDeleteI think my all time fave is the "Become the person you needed when you were younger" love it! Glad to see you are linking under those, I kept meaning to mention that to you, we have to link sources or we could be in deep copyright doo-doo as bloggers. catchatwithcarenandcody

Hi Linda! Thank you! I loved everything! Sending you big hugs and wishing you a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, Linda! As always I enjoyed your entire post. The story of the penguin and his rescuer was amazing! Wow! I had to laugh at the quotation: "10% of conflict is due to difference in opinion and 90% is due to delivery and tone of voice." That's very true when it comes to Terry and me and our disagreements! LOL Not that we have serious disagreements very often! Sending you lots of love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteWe really have a lot to learn from animals don't we.
ReplyDeleteMy mom what a roaster like that...But it was much latter then 49.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Loved your post. Happy week ahead!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDelete'Learning is a gift even when pain is your teacher' - Maya Watson,
How true! There are many ways in which people learn, some are more 'interactive', shall we say, than others. With the exclusion of 'no pain, no gain' re: exercise, which has been proven to be false, if one can come out of a painful experience stronger and wiser, then at least it has been worth it.
'True friends are never apart, maybe in distance but never in heart'. I can so relate to this. Thankfully, with the internet, my friends who live far away, are only a click away!
Have a wonderful Wednesday, my friend!
Poppy
Hi Linda. That made me laugh "My goal is to be as good of a person as my dog already thinks I am." How true is that? 100%
ReplyDeleteI love the video about a man and penguin. What a wonderful friendship they have! Thank you for your uplifting post as always :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the story about the penguin Dindim and thank you for all the inspirational words. “Become the person you needed when you were younger.” is my favorite words this time.
ReplyDeleteYoko
So many birds and animals I've never seen or heard of. The USA is a complete blank to Brits when it comes to the smaller wildlife.
ReplyDeleteI love the wise wisdom that you've shared here. Particularly the one about becoming the person you needed when you were younger.😂
ReplyDeleteOh Linda, I was so touched by that beautiful story of the man and his penguin! Life never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for the lovely inspirational quotes too :D)
ReplyDeleteI love the video of the penguin!
ReplyDeleteThey are so great friends each other.
Have a lovely weekend, Linda!!

ReplyDeleteI am grateful there's someone like you out there constantly reminding us to be positive, Linda. You are a gem of a person.
