Weekend Encouragement

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all! The videos I have chosen for this post are:

Shark Asks Several Divers for Help (this video touched my heart)

Orangutan Asks Girl for Help in Sign Language (this is such a beautiful video)

Grandson Sends Pizza Delivery Driver to Check on Grandmother After Hurricane

In That Great Gettin' Up Morning - The Jordanaires



For the following, I am providing the link sources beneath each photo.  You just need to click on the images to see a larger view.

The pain people show.  The pain nobody talks about.


I never knew how strong I was until I had to forgive someone who was not sorry and accept an apology I never received.


Don't shrink your dreams.  Super-size your courage and abilities.


Being alone may scare you, but staying in a bad relationship will damage you.


Whatever happened in the past is old news...it's okay to turn the page now.


Yes, the blues can come and go...sometimes they can sneak right up on us...so remember when they appear, be kind to yourself, reach out to a friend, go for a walk...focus on something you love to do!  Most of all...take care of you!


We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty. - Maya Angelou


To be enlightened doesn't mean that you won't have any negative thoughts anymore, it means that even while entangled in these thoughts, you allow them to be without believing in them and they will dissolve.


Note to self:  I don't have to take this day all at once, but rather, one step, one breath, one moment at a time.  I am only one person.  Things will get done when they get done.


Choose to be optimistic, it feels better. - Dalai Lama


Everyone you meet has something to teach you.


Remember, when you choose your behaviour you also choose your consequences. - Eva Trinity


One's destination is never a place, but rather a new way of looking at things. - Henry Miller


Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best. - Henry Van Dyke


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!

  16. Positive Energy quote is so true! I'd rather be alone than being in bad relationship.
    Happy Friday, Linda!

  17. Love those Jordanaires but of course I grew up with them! That grandmother is lucky to have such a nice grandson! And the message this morning seems to be "Love yourself" even if it may seem you don't deserve it. Amen! Have a super loving weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Videos of wild animals asking for help from humans are amazing! Shark, turtle, swans, ducks, deer...anyone who says that they have no feelings or intelligence is kidding themselves.

  21. Thank you for your inspiration today.
    Have a lovely weekend

  22. I love all the quotes and the images representing them. One thing I really think is outstanding is that you wrote out in the post what was written in the photos. Sometimes I visit German or Dutch sites and have no idea what the message is. Google can't translate photos.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Celle de la souffrance est très bien (enfin c'est ce que j'ai interprété).
    Bon week end, Linda

  24. Great story about the pizza delivery Linda. I hope our grandkids think to do that for us should we ever need it.

  30. The Jordanaires? If I am not mistaken, they used to be the back up band for Elvis Presley.

  31. As one who enjoys all the birdsong in the woods, I love that last thought.

  33. Hello Linda, and a happy weekend to you.
    My computer is being naughty and refusing to play videos! I shall come back and see these, so I'm thanking you in advance.
    Love all the quotes - quite a few really resonate.
    Cheerio and thank you for all the time you invest in your posts :D)

  34. Very touching video on the shark seeking help from humans. The grandson was very creative in trying to find out about his grandma through the pizza delivery service. Have a beautiful day, Linda.

    Belle fin de semaine Linda.

  38. Linda, There are sharks and then there are SHARKS! While most sharks are all that dangerous to humans, Tiger Sharks, Bull Sharks and Great Whites can be very aggressive. When my wife and I snorkeled off the Great Barrier Reef, there was a helicopter up all the time on the look out for great whites... Nice story about saving that shark though...

    Love the Orangutan story but the communication between the 2 was just a bit dark! That pizza delivery story was about caring and about ingenuity... Smart grandson!

    We have a friend who just begged her verbally abusive husband to stay with her. She needs to realize that "Being alone may scare you (as it does with her), but staying in a bad relationship will damage you"! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  39. Always be optimistic is a great idea. Have a wonderful weekend. My new blog URL is at https://chic-delights.blogspot.com.

  40. It happened to me once to forgive someone who never apologized. I didn't feel strong but generous. Generosity is a good feeling.

    I was quite impressed by the orangutan communicating with the girl in sign language. Great video!

    Good voices - the Jordanaires, and their song a lovely one!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Dear Linda - the videos were wonderful. The last quote from Henry Van Dyke really spoke to my heart. So much wisdom in this one friend. As always thank you for a superb post. Have a great weekend. Hugs!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Great collection of quotes. There's something here to inspire everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Wonderful, uplifting post as usual. I especially appreciated the butterfly quote, so true. I'm glad you were able to forgive that person you mentioned, its so hard sometimes, isn't it??

    If you would still like to help me with a couple of french questions and my learning pursuits, can you send me an email to:

    veggiecook@myway.com

    just a couple of things that have come up with duoLingo that I'd like to ask about, thanks if you can!!!

  44. Hi Linda! The videos are fascinating. That Orangutan video is amazing, I'm guessing they were communicating a game of sorts? Very intelligent. The shark video is very neat, how neat the shark was able to receive help and comes back to say 'hello!'. The pizza delivery is great. What a creative idea! The oldtime singing is great, a much sweeter time.

    Those saying are very good. The one on pain? Yes, I think it is very true.

    On being alone? I always tell our daughters, not to be in a rush to just get married. They would be better by themselves then to be with someone who does not treat them kindly or doesn't have the same convictions. All very good quotes and sayings! : )

    I hope you are having a nice weekend there Linda!

    Blessings! Thanks for sharing! : )
