You're allowed to scream, you're allowed to cry, but do not give up.

The things you are passionate about are not random, they are your calling. - Fabienne Fredrickson


Wherever you are...every step, every breath...choose them on purpose...for a purpose.


The most important things in life aren't things. - Anthony D'Angelo


He who has a why to live for, can bear almost any how. - Friedrich Nietzsche

  12. Such a great set of encouraging words and fun music, Linda! Each one brought a smile to my heart. This may sound corny, but you touch my heart with each edition. Also, sometimes when my chemical depression kicks in and my "logic" doesn't see me completely through the haze, I think of you, and what would you do. It really does help me keep on going, knowing I'm not alone, and that you care deeply for others, even when you are sorta trapped in the nightmare of "not-caring-ness". It's strange to be there - because we DO care so much, but then, there is something slightly deadening the caring part - sometimes it makes me feel like I'm a fake - but I'm not - it's just me, fighting through the haze. Thanks for letting me share - maybe I put TMI here today LOL xxxxx

  27. The tune from Chicago does it for me. Twain's quote is so true. Excellent choices Linda and thanks for sharing them. I hope you have a wonderful day.

  28. Linda, With Abba a big hit on Broadway...plus a related movie, their music is pretty current right now despite the years. I liked your other selections too but I did have to look up A' La Carte...that Euro Girl Group. I'd never heard of them before but I noted that they recorded a lot of popular North American music... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  38. Hi Linda,
    Music always does good.
    The happy tunes can I sing along too :-)
    Very nice chose these clips.
    The text phrases are also carefully selected and there are therefore very nice spells between.

    Best regards, Helma
