Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! Thank you so much for visiting me here! I really appreciate the time you take to come here.
Here are today's picks, which I hope will brighten your day!
Failure is nothing more than a storm in the weather forecast for the week - it comes and it goes, and it waters next season's yield because it teaches us where we can improve. - Jake Ducey, Author
Life is less about making ourselves into something...and more about letting everything fall away that blocks the light that we already are. - Jane Lee Logan
Princess Sassy Pants & Co.
The power of the pause...pause before you react. Listen before you speak. Rest before you quit. Breathe before you rage. Reflect before you hate.
Adopting from RSPCA? Just do it. It's something you will never regret. If you can, adopt or foster...a cat or dog in your area, and save a life. Adopt...don't shop.
Autism doesn't come with an instruction guide. It comes with a family who will never give up. - Kerry Magro
Reader's Digest
The most trying hours in life are between four o'clock and the evening meal. A cup of tea adds a lot of comfort and happiness. - Royal S. Copeland

Snow in November??? I suppose that's another perk of living as far north as you do, Linda! Your photos are lovely. Here in Georgia, a snow like that would lock us down for days. Charlie Brown's take on Thanksgiving says it all, too. May we live each day with hearts full to the brim with thanks to God! Blessings!
Wow, I love that enchanted teacup video so much! I watched it three times! My favourites are the Hokusai Wave teapot and the Clockwork/Steampunk teapost. I have swiped this video for a tea post I hope to do perhaps in the new year, thanks!
Good reminder in the one about any time could be the last time you talk to someone. You've had a bunch of snow already! I love the just for laugh clip too!
Dear Linda, thank you for the 4 snow ❄️🌨️ photos. I love 💕💕 ❤️❤️❤️💝💖💓💗💞💘 them. Especially the 4th photo. It felt like u are flying above the tree tops when taking the 4th photo. This place looks magical, you are so blessed to be there in person 💕 ☃️⛄
As usual, I'm in love with all the snow pics! snow is always magical! anyway, my chosen quote from this entry: "Why feel blue when there's soooo many other colors you can feel". . have a nice day linda!
I love your videos too. The Gag video made me laugh and I was so mesmerized by those enchanted tea sets. Last but not least, there is the animal in the parrot video, love watching people bonding with their pets and animals. I really enjoyed the videos, thanks for sharing.
Pause is good advice, dear friend Linda.Love the jars! And the directions and yes. Ingo drives to and from work by car... you never know... Wow, all that snow! Oh, and Snoopy! Thankfully all teapot-scenes are beautiful. Poor parrot.... glad she was rescued! Have a great day, much love and warm hugs on the way 🥰
oh what a lot of snow It looks beautiful though I love the quote "The key to emotional enlightenment is the knowledge that only your thoughts can affect your moods." Hard to control your thoughts sometimes though I had to laugh about the Sorry jar

I was just rereading Proverbs and this is a big one. I have a hard time doing it too. I need too.
