The ironic thing about loss is that it stays.
Sometimes you have to cha-cha your way to change. 3 steps forward. 1 step backwards. 10 steps forward. 3 steps backwards. Forgive yourself for slow progress. Keep moving. You'll get there.
I invite you to slip off your old, worn out, familiar bad habits - which never really fit who you truly are - and slip into something new, and far more fabulous.
Every challenging experience we face in life hands us a two sided coin of choice and opportunity. We can use that experience as a reason to build us or bury us. If we learn to live with whatever life hands us, and transform it into something of value, we will become a better person because of the lessons learned. - Denise Bruna
Depression is a flaw in chemistry, not character.
Ask your anxiety this question: 'Why don't you just leave me alone?' - Jodi Aman
The future is no place to place your better days. - Dave Matthews
Do not take lightly small good deeds, for drops of water one by one, in time can fill a giant pot. - Patrul Rinpoche
Meet yourself in the quiet. - Nancy Rainwater
Love is more magnificent than a sword, a fire...it is a mighty force...powerful beyond imagination. Love, not hate, is the answer.
When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too. - Paulo Coelho
Sorry! Out getting my halo repaired! It could be a while. :)
Breathe in. Breathe out. Smile.

cute otter:)
ReplyDeleteGood morning Linda!:)Your post was a great way to start my day, with inspiring true stories and quotes.
ReplyDeleteI got hooked on a lot of the animal videos, and saw the eight year old little girl video twice, what a spirited and accomplished little girl she is. Thank you Linda, as always I enjoyed my visit. Enjoy the rest of your week!:)x
Wonderful post, Linda! I especially like these videos. Greetings!
ReplyDeleteGreat videos this time. The violin girl is amazing.

ReplyDeletegreetings
ReplyDeleteI like such a relaxing music. I very often listen this kind of nature sounds.
Greetings :)
Hello Linda and Happy Wednesday - don't the weeks go quickly!
ReplyDeleteLove your video choices and the music on the Bologna video was so soothing.
Thought these words can be quite apt at times "Sometimes you have to cha-cha your way to change. 3 steps forward. 1 step backwards. 10 steps forward. 3 steps backwards. Forgive yourself for slow progress. Keep moving. You'll get there."
Enjoy your day.
All the best Jan
"The amazing thing about loss is that it stays." What a poignant statement. Love the otter video. They're so much fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteHi. It was a pleasure to watch some great videos. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteforte la foca
ReplyDeleteThis one is my favourite today: The best feeling of happiness is when you're happy because you've made someone else happy...and the one by Patrul Rinpoche too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful videos an quotes, Linda!
ReplyDeleteLove the Nicki one the best. What a little trooper she is.
ReplyDeleteThe otter one is adorable too. What a nice visit that would be.
Have a fabulous day, Linda. Big hugs. ♥♥♥
The otter is so friendly and cute. The 8 year old girl is a great over comer and a great example of not giving up easily. Have a beautiful day, Linda!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Linda! Particularly loved the sweet violinist & the otter,
ReplyDeletethose great quotes always resonate with me.
Thank you! Have a wonderful day!
Jackson Galaxy's episode reminds me of a man I once worked with. I had discovered a feral cat in the company parking lot, and began to feed the cat, and spent a great deal of time on the edges of the grounds, which were wooded, but backed up to a subdivision. One day, while talking to my coworker in the far parking lot, an unknown cat came streaking by, and my friend simply jumped off his feet and into his car! I laughed and laughed...and am smiling as I type this. He could talk a good game, but when confronted with a real live cat, he freaked! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I love otters and love to watch them in the wild or even zoos. They are wild though and they have a formidable set of teeth so I'm not sure I'd fully trust one in my kayak climbing around on me... Niki and her 'disability' are a great example of what children can accomplish if they are properly nurtured! Fear of cats...not something I see too often. Dislike, yes but not outright fear. Jackson, like Caesar Milan with dogs, always does a fine job of conditioning his humans. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteWonderful videos and great quotes. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteMeet yourself in the quiet - that is really true!
ReplyDeleteHave a good evening
Nicky was an inspiration and is a great ambassador for what CAN be achieved with a disability. She was a joy.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, thanks for checking on me. My internet went out suddenly and I couldn't get it back for days. "They" kept telling me it was fixed but it wasn't and I still can't get on my new blog so I'm back posting on Ocala. Hope that all goes well with you. Lots of good stuff here. I can't imagine someone being afraid of cats. Must have had a bad experience with cats when he was a child.
ReplyDeleteAdorable otter! Braves young man to get over his fear of cats.
ReplyDeleteTake care Linda!
Robin
Got it! Slipping into something fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI want one of those otters.
The little girl playing the violin was my favorite. I can't imagine being afraid of cats but I guess some people are.
ReplyDeleteSome fantastic quotes too Linda. Have a wonderful day!
Quel beau moment cette fontaine, superbe! Bise, bonne soirée toute en douceur!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute otter!
ReplyDelete'Meet yourself in the quiet....', I often do, Linda, and I love it.
ReplyDeleteSaukko hyvin ihaana. Pidin kyllä kaikista. Terveisin :)
ReplyDeleteMy "halo" has been in the shop so long i forgot what it looks like! Heeheehee!
ReplyDeleteLove everything, but especially the last quote!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the mid week serenade :o) I never do not enjoy sea otters! They always make me smile!

ReplyDeleteIsn't that otter something? And what a marvelous little girl in the second video. Thank you, Linda, for all the delightful reminders and thoughts in today's midweek post! Wishing you a great week! xx
ReplyDeleteAnother great selection. The otter was so cute and the little girl amazingly talented. I feel for people with phobias and found the cat video very interesting. The fountain was lovely also, and those wise words? Always enjoy them. Thank you once again and have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that otter is so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you once more, dear Linda, for the great videos and quotations!
