Hi dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to you all! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to visit me here! It really means so much to me!
Here is the link to my regular Laughter, Acceptance
Every now and then I will do a post like this to give you all the opportunity to get to know me better. This is one of those occasional posts! :)
First of all, I want to thank you all so much for your prayers and thoughts on my behalf in relation to my health. I have been having difficulty with swallowing and a chronic cough for a while now. I had my first test done last month. I am waiting for my second test, which is scheduled for March 12th. I also have an appointment with my family doctor on March 2nd.
Please rest assured that I will update you all when I know more...right now there is nothing to report.
I struggle with depression but as I have mentioned in previous posts, I "struggle" with it, I don't "suffer" from it. I do my best to live each and every day with enthusiasm, taking one day at a time and enjoying life. I also do my best to not complain about things I have no control over, such as the weather. I try to cherish every moment that God has given me.
My favourite colour is green...like the leaves on trees and the colour of grass...I believe it is known as "forest green".
I do enjoy reading! I read only non-fiction, though.
I have never smoked in my life nor have I done drugs, and I do not drink alcohol. I prefer quiet times and am not fond of large crowds or lots of noise.
I love nature and animals, and enjoy taking walks in nature and I sometimes take photos of things I like and share them here on my blog.
I am 69 years young and retired. I love to clean and organize! I am not good at decorating, drawing, painting or crafts! I do enjoy seeing creations of those who have the talent, I just don't have the talent myself!
I am a very sensitive person. Things like violence and animal cruelty, particularly when there are photos, affects me to the point where I avoid such content.
Although I love nature, flowers, and plants, I do not have a green thumb! I live in a 6th floor apartment and so of course do not have a garden. Although I like to see plants and flowers, I don't have the talent to maintain them, so I don't have them. I am much better with animals, as I have had pets most of my life....mostly cats, and sometimes birds such as budgies, canaries and finches.
Well, I will keep this short, but I hope this will give you a chance to get to know me a bit better.
Thank you so much for visiting me here! Please, if you haven't yet, check out my Monday post (link is at the top of this post)

ReplyDelete...Linda, most of us have struggles that we face and I hope that your medical team can lessens yours. I wish that you can always be well and happy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a little more about you. You and I have a lot in common!
ReplyDeleteLinda do check the link on your words Monday Post, it doesn't seem to link with the Monday Post.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
All the best Jan
PS Thank you for sharing more about yourself.
Hi Jan, I just fixed it...changed the words. The link is good and leads directly to my Monday post. Hope this helps. Thank you for letting me know.
DeleteHello again Linda ... your new wording and link is now working perfectly :)
DeleteAll the best Jan
Linda you and I are certainly kindred spirits. Like you nature and quiet places are what appeal to me. I have a cat called Skeeter...he was a stray and because I did not want my dogs to kill him moved him into the shed and now he lives in the garage when my GSD's don't go. Have had numerous cats and dogs and I too am 69 young - it is a great age to be! Not retired yet but thinking soon. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think green is a wonderful color too. Always enjoy your positive quotes and funny videos. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGood to learn more about you. We have much in common. I enjoy a quiet life and do not like noisy crowds.
ReplyDeleteI hate crowds and even being among family members sometimes gives me a bit of anxiety. How wonderful to learn a bit more about you and your life.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
How nice to read about you and get you know you better. :)
ReplyDeleteYou´d likely like our condo, green walls :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd same with reading here. Atm I read "Born 1940". Yes, I was born in the 70´s but as German I just have to read the facts, also from an Australian POV. It was for free.
I do like a beer, though (I am German after all ;-)...)
Can you come over and organize?
I do not understand violence. I was never allowed a cat.
Now we know each other a bit better, huh? Much love and brrrr... it´s cold but I do my best to send warm hugs over!
Thanks for sharing. It's nice to be able to get to know my blog friends better.
ReplyDeletePraying for encouraging test results and that whatever you have will be easy to fix.
I do not have any talent at all for painting or drawing.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to your lifestyle choices as well as your enjoyment of nature and the need for a quiet life.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a green thumb either! Some people just have the touch, and some don't. I'm a terrible over-waterer. What kind of non-fiction do you like to read? History, science, philosophy? I used to read a lot of non-fiction in my younger days, but I don't have the brain power anymore for it, LOL.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! I love this post! We have so much in common - my favorite color is also green, prefer non-fiction, I also don't smoke, no drugs & alcohol and I also love walks in nature. I hope that all will be well with your next medical test and doctor visit. I am keeping you in my prayers. Have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteTen una buena semana Y a mi tambien me gusta el color verde y mirar a los animales. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post because now I know you a little more!!! I also have depression and anxiety. It has been a life long journey for me. But I am like you I make the best of it!
Dear Linda I am still newish to your blog and I will tell you that to date, this is my most fave one. I LOOVED reading about you. Thank you for sharing. Cheers and huggs, Ivy.
ReplyDeletePS: And of course, I am very sorry for the health issues. That's not fun. Hoping they get it sorted.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower, so this post is a great way to get to know you better! Thank you for your candor and honesty! My favorite color is also green! But I don't have a green thumb, at all. I will have a drink now and then, but only one. I'm 74 and have never been drunk, and have never taken drugs. We all just need to take one day at a time and feel the blessings!! xo
ReplyDeleteThese are good posts to read.
ReplyDeleteI'm turning 56 tomorrow. I don't have a green thumb either but my daughter sure does.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to get to know you better.
We are the same age. I wish I loved to clean and organize. I like things cleaned and organized, but I am better at coming up with excuses why I can't do it!
ReplyDeleteI so loved learning more about you personally, Linda, and so appreciate your candor and honesty in conveying it. I will be turning 71 on March 1st. There are days that I feel my age and there are those that I think I'm 20 again. Laughter, optimism, and most especially, belief in God's promises keep us, His children, ever hopeful and filled with joy. Please know that I'm praying for you! Blessings always!
ReplyDeleteI know you much better now. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDear Linda 💚 I enjoyed reading this post.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to know you better. 🍏🌿☘️
I've been your blogging friend for quite some time now.
I look forward to your posts every week. 🥰
Have a pleasant week!
We're the same age and I'm not good at decorating or crafting either. I do love to read, although I read mostly fiction. I'm in a Book Club-which I very much enjoy. I hope your medical tests will provide answers and an effective treatment. I enjoy learning more about my blog friends! Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, just like our friend PH said, I have so much in common as you. Thanks for being so frank, so outright, so truthful and so brave and letting us to know you better. May God bless you. I also don't do smoking, don't do drugs and alcohol and I love reading so much.
