Most people think all the time, and their thinking is all they see, they live in a fog, missing out on the miracle happening all around.
The sun shines on everyone, it doesn't make choices.
Sometimes, I'm not angry. I'm hurt. There's a big difference.
Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different. - C.S. Lewis
To have courage for whatever comes in life - everything lies in that. - Saint Teresa of Avila
Everything on this planet is in a state of constant change. You're not an exception. Embrace change.
A woman is beautiful when her passions define her more than her looks.
Patience is when you're supposed to be mad but you choose to understand.
Growth is painful, change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong. - Mandy Hale
Did you know? Most cats have 24 whiskers!
Desserted island. :)
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!
Nice posts. Wish I could hug my kitty right now...
ReplyDeleteI love the cat paintings!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your inspiration today. You always make me think.
Have a good day
Wildlife is really wonderful Linda! I wish you a very happy Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteLovely videos and wise quotations (as always!). Thank you, dear Linda.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy and sunny day! xx
I so enjoy those looks at the past--that YouTube on life in the 40's was nice. Did you notice how nicely everyone dressed? Gosh, I miss that.............
ReplyDeleteLovely shares. Thank you Linda!

Hi Linda, I am sure I wouldn't dare touch a tortoise. I didn't know that most cats have 24 whiskers. I hope to check it out one day.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I need to go count whiskers on all my cats now! Nice thoughts in this post!
ReplyDeleteHello, I enjoyed the tortoise and the deer videos. I think I accept change easily. Wonderful post. Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Linda, thanks for sharing all the great items! Love the slice of American life in the 1940's. The cars are great in the video, such style!
ReplyDeleteHave a good day!

I can't imagine that tortoises like being touched. Loved the video on 1940 small town life. That town looks much like the town in which I lived at the time (I was very young)...but I remember my dad bought a new 1941 Plymouth and I went with him to bring my mom and new baby sister home in it. That all feels like another world now.
ReplyDeleteLove the colourful collection of quotes, dear! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat miracles thing... I had a discussion with a friend not too long ago about them. It's funny how easily we forget the moments that change our entire worlds with only the passing of a couple days, weeks, or months. I believe in miracles. I'm grateful they occur.
ReplyDeleteTaas niin hauskoja kuvia Hyvää huhtikuuta :)
ReplyDeleteNice post, and beautiful art! I hope you have a nice day, Linda!
ReplyDeleteMuntjacs are so cute, love them, they are not very popular though☺
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs to be touched I think. A hug or scritches if you are a critters. I think it's healthy.
ReplyDeleteLove the deer.
Especially loved the 1940s video. Did you notice how everyone dressed. Suits and dresses. It was a different time.
Have a fabulous day, Linda. Big hug. ♥♥♥
Great videos and wonderful quotes and art work. Yesterday was a beautiful day but today we are under a tornado watch and it is raining right now. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteAnger and hurt are different, but I didn't realize that until recently.
ReplyDeleteInteresting about the tortoises and touch.
ReplyDeleteLove watching the interaction between people and animals. We have dominion over them and they should be treated with kindness, not cruelty. It's wonderful to see how the tortoise responds to respect and affection.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't we sometimes wish we could step into a time machine? (I wish that a lot).
Love all of the quotes, especially the one by CS Lewis, and that magical artwork. Thank you, Linda!
I usually think to myself when attacked by anger that the person must be hurt in some way. Fear and anger do a number on us!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! It was so cute to see that tortoise stretch out his neck to be petted. Who knew they liked such things?
ReplyDeleteI love the quote from St. Teresa, it is everything to be at peace and to accept what comes in our lives. And...bring on dessert island!!
Blessings,
Ceil
That torques look so scary but so cute at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI also like that understanding and patient quote! truly uplifting! Keep is up Linda!
I've been a bad blogger! It's been ages since I've visited! Thanks for continuing on with your fun and uplifting posts! Big hugs! ~ Diane
ReplyDeleteLinda, That tortoise is like a dog...or our cat. Loves having his neck scratched! The Muntjac or "Barking" Deer is native to south Asia and was introduced to England. They are tiny compared to other deer. I noticed that most of the men in that 1940's small town video were wearing suits or sports jackets...in contrast with today. I do miss trolley's! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeletebeau travail de Raphael Vavasseur ..Linda
ReplyDeletegreetings
Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different. - How very true, love this saying Linda.
ReplyDeleteMost cats have 24 whiskers, interesting next cat I see I must start counting :-)
Raphael Vavasseur Art, once again thanks for these pictures, they make me smile, and make me happy. Take care Diane
The turtle video is cute!
ReplyDeleteWonderful videos Linda. I like the one with the tortoises. They are huge and I've never seen them petted. Lovely quotes. Thanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful quotes and images. They are very thoughtful and uplifting.
ReplyDeleteIt's always such a delight to visit you here, darling Linda, you've created such a lovely corner on the web, so cozy and touching, thank you for welcoming me always with your love !

I did not know most cats have 24 whiskers! I need to count Cody's lol catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteHow nice, once more, Linda...
ReplyDeleteDeserted island would be wonderful. Great videos.
ReplyDeleteLinda que gran trabajo en localizar vídeos y las gran reflexiones que nos dejas.
ReplyDeleteLo de las tortugas porque lo vi que de lo contrario no lo creo.
Saludos.
Hello Linda! That tortoise is so cute, and I had no idea that they had senses in their shell. Fascinating, that tortoise was definitely enjoying his pets!
ReplyDeleteI did not know that about cat's whiskers!
Great picks today Linda! Hope your day is a good one! Blessings!
The embrace of the two differently colored cats is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThe small town video takes us to nostalgia - things belonging to the past - and in most cases it does us good.
Who wouldn't want to be stranded on a desserted island?! An interesting fact about cats...one that I certainly didn't know. The video of "small town America" didn't look like a very small town, with all the traffic. When I was young, our town had the buses that ran on overhead electric cables, attached by rods to the buses. It was fun to see those again.
ReplyDeleteOh??? Cats have 24? No more, no less? I didn't know that. Gee!!! We learn new things every day...even at my age. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind that desserted island! Yum.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I loved seeing the video about the tortoise and had no idea how much they enjoyed being touched... even on their shell, that was fascinating.
ReplyDeleteA lovely post and I do enjoy Raphael's beautiful artwork very much.
Cheers now :D)

ReplyDeleteJe craque pour la vidéo avec les tortues. je n'ai plus de tes nouvelles ... j'espère que tu vas bien ?
Je te souhaite une bonne soirée.
Brilliant collection Linda, wonderful videos, wise and wonderful words with lovely illustrations. Thank you my friend :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing tortoise video, you perhaps wouldn't think they enjoyed touch!
ReplyDeleteThe 'desserted island', now that was different!
Enjoy the rest of your week.
All the best Jan
I do enjoy looking at nature and animal videos. We have so much natural wonder on Earth.
ReplyDeleteI would love to rub the tortoise!!
ReplyDeleteHis (her?) smile is so cute!
Have a wonderful weekend, Linda!

Hi Linda! I hope you're having a great weekend! There are so many quotes I love on this post!
ReplyDeletePatience is when you're supposed to be mad but you choose to understand. Growth is painful, change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong.
Just two of my favourites! I love that kitty art! Big Hugs!
