Be yourself. No one can say you're doing it wrong. - Charles M. Schulz
Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You're doing just fine. - Charlotte Eriksson
Let today be the day you stop living within the confines of how others define or judge you. - Steve Maraboli
The secret of getting ahead is getting started. - Mark Twain
Believe in yourself a little more.
Pain is real, but so is hope.
If you do not recognize an ingredient, your body won't either. Try to eat food made by planet Earth, not a chemical factory.
Everything comes to you at the right time. Be patient and trust in the process.
A beautiful face will age and a perfect body will change, but a beautiful soul will always be a beautiful soul.
A true friend's creed: If you need me, call me, I don't care if I'm sleeping, having my own problems or angry with you. I'll be there for you.
Strong people don't put others down. They lift them up.
Greet the day with gratitude in your heart!
When others try to get your tutu into a twist...just twirl around and keep dancing!
When you're busy taking care of everyone...make sure you include yourself!
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!
Love the little ice skater...Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteFiquei encantado com a jovem patinadora, LINDA !
ReplyDeleteE o meu dia já vai ter mais motivos par correr muito bem.
Agradeço-te, por isso.
Um beijo amigo.
The little girl was amazing! Thank's for sharing, Linda :)
ReplyDeleteI could not believe that such a young child could ice skate so well, I certainly wish I was as competent on the ice. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteBe yourself - I like that.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week
It's always such a delight to welcome my new week together with you, Dearie, thank you most sincerely !
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great day today
XOXO Dany
The little ice skater is incredible, such a joy to watch.
ReplyDeleteI get very annoyed listening to people describing pigeons as vermin and calling for them to be culled – they should be forced to watch these films and remember how useful they were in the past.
The ‘resurrection plants’ are incredible! I’ve often wondered how apparently dead moss springs back to life when it rains, and now I know. Amazing, thank you Linda. :)
'Resurrection Plants',is particularly and nice to see Linda. I wish you a happy new week.
ReplyDeleteHello! Interesting your blog. Excuse my poor english.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Galicia.
What an amazing 2 year old ice skater! Now I know why the "resurrection plants" grow back so quickly. Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, the little ice skater is adorable. I always enjoy your wise words. Great post and videos. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteGood day Linda, what great and interesting videos. That little girl is adorable. They do start them early. I only hope she really enjoys skating with all the practice she'll be doing. Enjoy your day dear friend.
ReplyDeleteThe 2-year old russian skater is amazing, but she's not a rarity . In Russia they start sports and music almost in...infancy.
ReplyDeleteWell, I believe that when face and body age, the soul changes too. I've known good, kind people that with time became wicked, bitter, souless.
Petite patineuse de 2ans ... mais elle est fabuleuse !
ReplyDeleteBon début de semaine Linda avec un bisou de France
Oh my goodness, that little two year old girl was amazing. Made me smile. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteWonderful post! Video about the pigeons was very interesting. I also love the Russian girl :). Greetings!
ReplyDeleteHow a 2-year old girl can ice skate is beyond me. Most toddlers can barely walk upright for long! I've read about our use of pigeons before. We think of them as useless and dirty but perhaps that's because we have never fully realized their capabilities. Thank you again, Linda, for your wonderful comments. They warm my heart and I wish you a wonderful week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThat little ice skater is phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteThat little ice skater is amazing!
ReplyDeleteFeeling better now after visiting your blog.
ReplyDeleteLove your entire post - especially the video of the future Russian Olympian.
We all need to eat better, especially 'real' food. Food is medicine, after all.
ReplyDeleteI use to ice skate but nothing fancy
ReplyDeletela première vidéo est vraiment surprenante linda
ReplyDeletehave a nice day
Awww on the two year old ice skating. She earned her link on Awww Mondays.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Linda. Big hugs. ♥♥♥
Hi. I do not believe that the girl is two years old.
ReplyDeleteI love those about healthy place☺
ReplyDeleteHello Linda!:) Thank you SO much for your visit today and your kind words. My rheumatism has become gradually worse over the years, and especially painful this year. I needed a boost to lift me from the situation I find myself in, and your post has done just that. Thank you Linda. I am hopeful, and do believe that everything comes at the right time, for a reason. Lovely clip of the little girl,.. it really brought a smile to my face. Have a good week!x
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Happy new week!:)

The little Russian girl skater was amazing. Interesting pigeon videos. Great quotes. Have a blessed day and a wonderful week. Madeline
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice log (again!), Linda !
ReplyDeleteThe little girl is really amazing on the ice!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post Linda! The little ice skater melted my heart... So adorable!
ReplyDeleteTroppo tenera la bimba che pattina
ReplyDeleteI love the one about ingredients.......catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, I hope you're enjoying your week.
ReplyDeleteThe little Russian skater was so sweet to watch... I especially loved right at the end when she went back to pick up something she'd dropped during her routine! So gorgeous, I can imagine her looking at that clip years on when she's a professional skater.
The way pigeons have helped in communications over the years has always been fascinating - great to see those videos!
Thanks too for your inspirationals. Cheers now :D)xx
Linda, I love that little 2 year old skater. I've never been able to do much more than stand up and hold still on skates. When I taught mentally disadvantaged children back in the 60s, most of them could skate a bit but their teacher couldn't.
ReplyDeleteI knew that pigeons were used during WWII but I didn't know how many or that their 'backpacks' were made by Maidenform.
Somebody needs to tell my wonderful wife that my way of doing things isn't necessarily the 'wrong' way. Thanks Charles Schultz...
Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Hello Linda!
ReplyDeletela petite fille est magique :)))
bon temps de carnaval pour toi
Angie
The little ice skater is adorable!
ReplyDeleteHellllloooo Linda! Hope you are having a nice Monday! : )
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, the little Russian girl is a little doll. The pigeon videos are fascinating, and isn't it great that the little birds actually received metals in the war?
The quote on being ourselves is a good one, I think it was Bette Davis who might have said, 'Be a first rate imitation of yourself.'
The quote on people lifting others up is great. : ) It's true.
Have a great week Linda! I'll have to glean more from this blog this week, I missed the resurrection plant.
Blessings!
Have a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteI remember ice skating as a kid....not this good...but still fun!
ReplyDeleteWow, c'est incroyable cette petite patineuse et tellement mignonne! Bisou, bonne soirée tout en douceur!
ReplyDeleteWow! Two years old!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDear Linda – My favorite this week is the adorable little skater. I guess when she started walking, she’d have been smoother on ice than on ground. Thanks for the words of wisdom. Have a happy week ahead.
ReplyDeleteYoko
All wonderfully positive stuff, Linda!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great videos and quotations, dear Linda!
ReplyDeleteI think there are many things about plants we don't know yet and will amaze us.
Loved all the quotes. Perhaps, perhaps "A beautiful face will age and a perfect body will change, but a beautiful soul will always be a beautiful soul" is my favourite.
Hugs and blessings!
Wonderful uplifting videos and sayings.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic week :)
Very sweet little girl in the skating video! Thanks for sharing all the uplifting quotes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a talented tiny girl, accomplishing so much at an early age (or any age at all!) Thanks for today's movies, and especially the pretty sentiments and quotes, Linda. It's a joy to find a place where beautiful things are happening and loveliness is extended to one and all! love, de
ReplyDeleteWhat a great video about the plants. They really make a great metaphor for life! :) Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda...I especially enjoyed the resurrection plants. We have resurrection ferns around here ..l it is amazing what water can do. Loved the posters with all their wisdom. Especially the one about Washington ngboff the day and being happy.
ReplyDeleteLa niña patinadora un encanto parece que aprendió a patinar y andar al mismo tiempo.
ReplyDeleteEl uso de las palomas como mensajeras tanto en tiempo de guerra como de paz fue de gran ayuda, por su capacidad de sortear obstáculos.
Saludos.
I love pigeon series video, Linda!
ReplyDelete'Every thing comes to you at the right time...'
makes me relieved!!

Both the pigeon videos were fun, Linda! I loved the Mark Twain quote: "The secret of getting ahead is getting started." So true. I hope that you've had a great day, my dear friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda! Loved everything! These two quotes are excellent!
ReplyDeleteEverything comes to you at the right time. Be patient and trust in the process.
