Don't listen to people who tell you what to do. Listen to people who encourage you to do what you know in your heart is right.
One of the best lessons you can learn in life is to master how to remain calm. - Catherine Pulsifer
There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others. - Mandy Hale
Don't re-live the past. Don't pre-live the future. Live fully now.
Laughter is the best medicine.
No matter how dark it might get...hope and faith will always light a way.
Hope is a waking dream. - Aristotle
Sad hurts but it's a healthy feeling. It is a necessary thing to feel. Depression is very different. - J.K. Rowling
Be an encourager. The world has plenty of critics already. - Dave Willis
Just for the record darling, not all positive changes feel positive in the beginning. - S.C. Lourie
It's never too late for a new beginning in your life.
The highest form of intelligence is the ability to observe without evaluating. - Jiddu Krishnamurti
Swim for the surface today. Let go. Rise!
Enjoy the little things.
Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop and find your true sense of purpose in this life. Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.
You can't control how other people receive your energy. Anything you do or say gets filtered through the lens of whatever they are going through at the moment, which is not about you. Just keep doing your thing with as much integrity and love as possible. - Nanea Hoffman
Thank you Linda, another outstanding selection to look through :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful video about the stationmaster cat! :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed it, Linda.
Wow, this village of Giethoorn is very beautiful. Lovely quotes. Have a good day, Linda!
ReplyDeleteOh? Stop boiling broccoli? Gee! I always do that, with a pinch of salt added...but just lightly so it is still crunchy. I love eating it like that.
ReplyDeleteGiethoorn is beautiful Linda! I wish you a happy Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteSo inspiring☺
ReplyDeleteNo particular favourites today; all wise words and ones to seriously think about. Thanks once again Linda for sharing. Have a great day Diane
ReplyDeleteNo roads, no cars, just boats - doesn't this sound like a peaceful way to live.
ReplyDeleteI like the first video, very interesting place to live in and more healthy too. I am learning to steam my broccoli from now on. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteHello Linda!:)The slow pace of living would suit me just fine in the town with only boats and bicycles for transport. Thank you for all the inspirational quotes, and have a wonderful day.:)x
ReplyDeleteThat broccoli looked really good. Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteLove the quote about observing without evaluating - it's so freeing to enjoy Life with all its variations and differences! Hoping you are doing well, Linda. Wishing you a great Wednesday! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, I hope you've been keeping well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great videos. The first one about the waterways is so lovely, what a beaut place to live too
I also enjoy looking at the art work on your quotations too - as well as reading their messages. Some are quite beautiful.
Cheerio and it's been really nice catching up with you. Cheers now :D)
Hello, wonderful videos and quotes. I always enjoy the little things. Have a great day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteEncore de belles choses à regarder. Un gros merci Linda
ReplyDeleteA town without roads sounds quaint. A nice place to visit, I'm sure; but I don't know how it would be to live there. I'm definitely used to roads and cars. That's an amazing story about the cat that saved the train station.
ReplyDeletenice quotes!
ReplyDeleteIt is true that the ability to observe without evaluating is very difficult and very important.
ReplyDeleteGreetings :)
Love all the boats. How fun, but more time consuming than a car. I know this for a fact.
ReplyDeleteI don't boil broccoli. We've been steaming it for years and years.
Have a fabulous day, Linda. Big hugs. ♥♥♥
J.K. Rowling's quote on depression speaks to me.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I would love to visit Grethoorn Netherlands. Cruising the canals and staying in one of those waterbound homes would be very relaxing. The cat 'trainmaster' once again demonstrates just how popular cats are in Japan and it also shows what a little imagination can do for a business and the local economy! As for broccoli, we always steam it and I like it raw in my salads. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteMy kids were looking over my shoulder for that hat video, and they told me it was weird. LOL. Oh my, the mark of a time gone by, eh?
ReplyDeleteune citation intéressante de J.K. Rowling..Linda
ReplyDeletegreetings
Enjoyed the interesting videos and all the great quotes. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteGiethoorn, what an experience, Linda !
ReplyDeleteHi. You again enjoyed my day. Thanks a lot. Great videos and pictures.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda
ReplyDeleteI will be careful about cooking broccoli ! little water please !
and I want a new hat !
One of my favorite movies, "The Bishop's Wife" with Cary Grant and Loretta Young (1947) has a scene that takes place in a hat shop, and the joy that Loretta Young's character displays with her new hat is marvelous!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeletenice videos and quotes. I liked the broccoli video and never knew that people would boil it, we always steamed it and it's great. Laughter is the best medicine is my favorite quote.
Thanks for posting and have a wonderful day.
I NEVER boil broccoli anymore, I just roast it with olive oil and garlic, delicious! catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteCoucou ma belle Linda, j'ai toujours fait bouillir mon brocoli, la prochaine fois je vais essayé au micro-onde! Gros bisou, bonne soirée dans la joie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteDepression is, indeed, a very different thing from normal sadness. It's an awful hole.
ReplyDeleteBroccoli is always best raw!
I thoroughly enjoyed the videos you chose, Linda! I'm always impressed with how crafty the Dutch are, and I saw it everywhere in Grethoorn, I'm thinking now that I need to invest in organic broccoli and steam it. Toma the stationmaster kitty was so cute, and the hat choosing video reminded me of my mother who adored hats. Me, not so much! "Be an encourager..." is the quote that spoke to me today. It's an inspiring and important message. Have a great rest of the week, my dear friend!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda!
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I could book a ticket to Giethoorn! Want to meet there for a leisurely lunch?
Great videos and gems of wisdom. Thank you!!
Don't you just want to hop a plane for Japan to meet Tama?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to live with no roads or cards. Great quotes, uplifting and thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteLiving without cars and just boating sounds wonderful. Not sure I could do it though Lind.

ReplyDeleteHi! Tama was very famous for us. She died at 2015. Another cat is a station master now. Thanks for introducing Japanese cat.
ReplyDelete"One of the best lessons you can learn in life is to master how to remain calm".
