New beginnings are ahead.

ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed with the memes, how people make them to look so appealing. The videos are good, the just for laughs - those poor young men..lol.
I love the memes, especially the one about winding the clock. It's an excellent reminder to keep on going and move forward. Sometimes hard to do. Hope 2026 brings you much happiness!
ReplyDeleteQue cette année 2026 t'apporte la santé, le bonheur et la réussite dans tous tes projets. Que chaque jour soit une nouvelle occasion de sourire et de réaliser tes rêves les plus chers. Excellente année à toi et à tes proches !
ReplyDelete"Please don't drink and drive. She won't understand why you aren't coming home." That made me cry.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I come home from anywhere I always find my Lola and let her know "I'm home, did you miss me?"
Dear Linda, I wish you a happy, healthy and blessed new year! We start with you with wonderful quotes, I love them all. My favorite:
ReplyDelete"Du kannst die Uhr nicht zurückdrehen. Aber du kannst es wieder aufziehen. Bonnie Prudden, Kletterin"
So let's climb in the adventurous landscape with good shoes and and good sticks under the shelter of heaven. We will see a lot of beautiful visions. Many greetings from Dori
Thank you for the Light Linda. I wish everyone a meaningful 2026!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your inspiring post Linda, keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best in 2026, a very happy and healthy New Year!
Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend.
Sorry for being so late. I cough and... no excuse but my brain is mush with another cold...
ReplyDeleteHere it really was... a very loud neighborhood into the New Year, even still today the BOOM didn´t stop.
But, I listen to you, dear friend Linda, my choice: smile that its over now! I always give... and take, which is the hard part!
Hmmm. Sometimes re-reading isn´t that bad, I think!
Oh, Ozzy!
People really were after "Coca Cola"? I am still sad I had no cam with me when the trucks roamed my study-city! 3 trucks and none of us had a cam!
I am wishing you a wonderful 2026, health, fun and many a smile. Warm hugs and much love and joy 😘
Thank you for your sharing .It’s all full of energy .I wish you a happy New Year 🎊
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you, Linda. May your year be filled with joy and happiness each day. Beautiful and thoughtful quotes to start the year.
ReplyDeleteVery important message about not drinking and driving. Sadly this will be a reality for some animals this year. On a brighter note the duck story was so sweet and shows that there is some kindness in this world to cheer the heart.
I don't know how you find all these uplifting inspiring quotes. Love them. Thanks so much. Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year.
ReplyDeleteBonne et heureuse année et surtout bonne santé.
ReplyDeletePrenez soin de vous.

ReplyDeleteWhat a warm and uplifting way to welcome the New Year. The mix of gentle humor, thoughtful quotes, and sweet animal moments creates such a comforting space to pause and breathe. I especially loved the reminders about new beginnings and the small choices that shape each day. A beautiful start to 2026.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family a very Happy New Year. Thank you for all your words of encouragement on my blog this year. It is so very much appreciated.
¡Qué recopilación tan alegre y llena de buena vibra para empezar el 2026! Me encanta cómo has reunido tantas frases positivas, toques de humor, recordatorios importantes (como ese "no bebas y conduzcas" que siempre viene bien repetir) y guiños divertidos como los de Winnie the Pooh, los gatos sabios y los jingles clásicos de Coca-Cola que nos transportan directo a la infancia. Es como abrir una cajita de esperanza, risas y reflexiones suaves justo al comienzo del año.Me ha gustado especialmente esa mezcla de mensajes profundos ("No puedes empezar el siguiente capítulo si sigues releyendo el anterior") con otros más ligeros y tiernos, como los propósitos de las mascotas o el optimista vs pesimista. ¡Perfecto equilibrio para motivar sin agobiar! Y ese vídeo de Juste pour Rire... ya me imagino las carcajadas. Gracias por incluir también ese toque canadiense y el patito discapacitado con la trona... ¡cosas que alegran el alma!
ReplyDelete¡Muchas gracias por esta dosis de positividad y por abrir tu blog con tanto cariño! Que este 2026 te traiga todo lo bueno que has compartido hoy: sonrisas, amor, risas y muchos nuevos capítulos por escribir. Un abrazo enorme, Linda y ¡Feliz Año Nuevo de corazón!
Happy New Year to you and yours. Thank you for the joy you spread and for your kind comments over at my blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your uplifting post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me smile. Wishing you a Happy and Healthy 2026!
ReplyDeleteWe thought we were so modern in 1969! 😂. What fun to see the old Coke commercials, Linda! The box gag was hilarious. I always appreciate your inspiring quotes. I hope that you have an awesome new year, my special friend! ❤️❤️❤️
