Weekend Escape
Hello everyone! A very warm welcome to you all! The videos I have selected for this post are: Pangolin - World's Weirdest
Top Chef Judge Graham Elliot has a Bizarre Ingredient for Making the Perfect Big Juicy Burger
Sandy Hook Mom Chooses Love Over Anger
Water Meditation HD
For the following, I am providing the link sources beneath each photo. You just need to click on the images to see a larger view. There are two ways of exerting one's strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up. - Booker T. Washington
When you are about to lose (or have lost) a loved one...try to gently welcome the sadness and make space for whatever emotions may arise in you, without judgment...gently make space and be present for your loved one and yourself. That is the best gift you can give to the both of you.
Start helping those around you. Care about people. Guide them if you know a better way. The more you help others, the more they will want to help you. Love and kindness begets love and kindness. And so on and so forth.
I haven't tried making homemade burgers and I would love to try one day. It takes for a heart overflowing with love to be able to choose love over hate. Have a beautiful day!
Hello Linda!:) Interesting video clips about the Pangolin, and ice cubes in burgers. I love the sound of falling water, and enjoyed the relaxing water meditation clip. Thank you Linda, and have a great weekend.
Hello, The sound of water is so relaxing. Love that video. wise words and quotes. I tend to overthink, so much it keeps me awake at night. I got to stop! Happy Friday, enjoy your day and weekend!
Another set of beautiful sayings, thanks so much for sharing.
I love 'Overthinking will destroy your mood. Breathe and let it go.' I must remember that when I have an over active brain at night LOL. Have a wonderful weekend Diane
The message of Jesse Lewis is especially timely today. Our world has become so scary. I can't image being in the shoes of any mother who has lost a child under those circumstances (or under any other circumstance). Enjoyed the other videos and quotes, as usual, and now I can tackle the weekend after my Friday dose of Linda's Peaceful Place. Thanks, Linda! Have a wonderful, safe weekend!!
Thank you for the wonderful post, dearest Linda! I had never heard the Italian proverb, but I found it easily: "Conta le stelle delle tue notti, non le ombre. Conta i sorrisi della tua vita, non le lacrime." There's also "count the flowers in your garden, not the falling leaves"... but the falling leaves are pretty as well. :) The thoughts about overthinking will be passed to someone important very soon. Have a blessed weekend! xx
The proverb about friends versus relatives reminds me of Proverbs 27:10, "Your own friend, and your father's friend, forsake not; neither go into your brother's house in the day of your calamity: for better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off."
Hi, Linda! Love today's tidbits and words of wisdom. My favorite today is that the most hostile element is ignorance - so true - and I think even of myself, when making certain "snap judgments" that I must stop myself from thinking such-and-such because I don't know all the facts that contributed to that happening. I feel that Ignorance is Hostility in a number of ways - but mostly, because people feel that it is a valid excuse. And when people can not bring themselves to apologize with heartfelt sincerity because their ignorance caused a waterfall of issues in another person's life, I cannot think of a more hostile situation. It is its own form of "terrorism". Sorry - I didn't mean to go on and on -- and I must admit that I've been guilty, too. Still, I wish people would give others the benefit of the doubt, because we all simply DO NOT KNOW. LOL
Hello dear Linda, It has been a long time between visits, but you have been in my thoughts.. Beautiful post today.. Thank you for sharing. blessings, Penny
Hello Linda, I was most fascinated with the Pangolin ... what an incredible (looking) creature. I would never have thought of using an ice cube to retain moisture in burgers, but it makes sense! I love the video of the Sandy Hook Mom's memorial to her dear Son Jesse. Beautiful quotations too... many thanks Linda, lovely to catch up with you. Cheers and good wishes for a great week ahead :D) xx
Now then Linda ypu've chosen a wonderful animal to feature. The Pangolin is just fabulous and one I'd love to see in the wild. Geuss I'll have to settle for zoos?
Linda, Love pangolins...and platypus too! Weird yet cool! Haven't had to try the ice cube burger trick yet...probably because we go for medium rare burgers, something that seems to be illegal in Canada. (We never order burgers in Canada!) That Sandy Hook mom is a better person than I am. I would never be forgiving and, to the detriment of my own health, I'd probably stay angry! I am in sync with the statement that "Overthinking never leads to anything good." Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Hello Linda ... I hope your weekend has been good, ours has. A great selection here. Loyalty is just so important with friends and family. So too is love ...
The pangolin is one weirdly wonderful animal, and it is well adapted to its environment. I think that the easiest way to spread love and kindness is to be generous with smiles. Big hugs to you my dear Montreal friend!

ReplyDeleteLovely selection, the pangolin is an amazing animal. Enjoyed all the videos as always, and everything in your post. Thank you Linda :)
ReplyDeleteWe should try the ice cube for our burger!
ReplyDeleteThe video made me feel hungry :-)
The Pangolin is amazing. Never even heard of this critter before.
ReplyDeleteWow on that burger. I'm going to try this. Sounds like a great way to have a juicy burger.
Sandy Hook. Love is always better than hate. There is so much hate now. Politicians are really a huge part of that hate and division.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. Big hug. ♥♥♥
Very wise sayings, Linda! Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteBelle fin de semaine Linda et merci pour tous tes jolis posts qui sont toujours très agréables à visionner/
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting creature the pangolin is. It looks like a cross between an anteater and an armadillo.
ReplyDeleteThe message of Jesse Lewis is especially timely today. Our world has become so scary. I can't image being in the shoes of any mother who has lost a child under those circumstances (or under any other circumstance).
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the other videos and quotes, as usual, and now I can tackle the weekend after my Friday dose of Linda's Peaceful Place.

"One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives." I couldn't agree more!
ReplyDeleteI like the Sheryl Sandberg quote very much!
ReplyDeleteI'm still not blogging but wanted to stop by and wish you a happy weekend! 💕
ReplyDeleteI need a pangolin on my patio for the summer, to keep the ants out of the kitty food.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful post, dearest Linda!

ReplyDeleteBurgers - am I unusual as I never touch them?
Linda, Love pangolins...and platypus too! Weird yet cool! Haven't had to try the ice cube burger trick yet...probably because we go for medium rare burgers, something that seems to be illegal in Canada. (We never order burgers in Canada!)
