Weekend Winter Wishes

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

Vintage 1953 Westinghouse Dishwasher Commercial

Hug A Sheep Day

What Makes Owls so Quiet and so Deadly? - Deep Look

Debussy - Erik Satie Gymnopedie No 3

Beethoven for Cats!  Create a Tranquil Cat Environment (the music is lovely and the photos of sleeping cats are beautiful!)  :)

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

Whatever you want to do, do it now.  There are only so many tomorrows. - Michael Landon




Time will pass:  these moods will pass: and I will, eventually, by myself again.


Jobs fill your pocket.  Adventures fill your soul. - J.L. Beatty


It was so cold even our ghost froze.  :)


Couch potato.  :)


Believe good things are on the way.


No matter what's happening...take time each day to remember all that's good in your life.


Wherever we go...we can always carry those we love tucked within our heart.


Love is when you see them at their lowest, darkest times and you still think their light shines.


We're not here to live in bliss 24/7.  We are here to learn how to feel, face and embrace our negativity, when it arises, without judgement and with love.


Take some time to unwind and relax after a long day.


Appreciate good people.  They are hard to come by.


We may not be able to start over, but we can always create a new beginning.


The world is changed by your example not by your opinion. - Paulo Coelho



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!

  1. You know, Linda, my cat awakened me and when I came here and played the music for cats, he calmed down. I'll have to look into that. Thanks!

  28. The frozen ghost made me laugh. Good one! I also like the one about doing what you want to do today. It reminds me of "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." - Pablo Picasso

  29. Hello Linda, Good evening! The retro dishwasher commercial is very interesting, I remember as a little girl seeing one of my mother's friends dishwasher that seemed like it was a pit of dishes, like the model above. I wondered how my mother's friend was every going to retrieve her dishes! lol My mom's dishwasher was the normal open door kind. I also noticed that the actress on the commercial seemed so dressy, almost as if she should have a long cigarette holder in on hand! lol ...She gives quite an air! : ) I can't imagine her with children! lol

    Hug a sheep! That is great! Really adorable..

    Aha! Gymnopedies. I like that one. : ) It's funny how he came up with the name. Beautiful, beautiful musics!

    Thanks for sharing, yes, unwinding in the evenings is a favorite of mine. I also agree on example, we wish there were more right?

    Good stuff Linda! Blessings!

  30. Wish I could be a part of Hug-a-Sheep Day. Such joy.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Oh if I see a sheep Linda, I will give it a hug. Might take me a while to catch up with him though ;)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Linda, Despite what that very early dishwasher ad said, even today with all of the technology that goes into them today, my wife still pretty much washes the dishes before they go into the dishwasher! Love that hug a sheep day... Nifty the way they all came running! As I've gotten older I have definitely bought into "Whatever you want to do, do it today." There are just too few days left to wait around and do it later! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    ReplyDelete
  33. Though the dishwasher looks so convenient but I still prefer to wash my own dishes. The sheep sure love to be hug and they came running! Now I know why owls are scary birds in the night! Have a great weekend, Linda!

  50. Hello Linda, the dishwasher commercial made me laugh, and I loved the ‘hug a sheep’ day. I had no idea sheep were so friendly, although I do remember helping my dad to feed baby lambs, and they were always very sociable.
    Thank you for coming over to my blog today. I put my post up a day early because I’m not around tomorrow, but I will be over to read your Monday post (assuming you do one) in a few days. I hope you are enjoying the weekend. x

  55. Very clean sheep there. Some of the ones I've seen recently in fields with all the mud and rain over the winter you wouldn't want to hug much :o)
