Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to come and visit me here! I really appreciate you all so much!
Here are today's choices, which I hope will brighten your day!
The beauty of a black cat is not defined by their color but by the love they bring into your life.
Never waste a second of your life complaining. Complaining doesn't solve problems, it attracts them. The more you complain, the more problems you'll have. And the more you infect other people with your problems. Don't be an infection. Be a cure.
Instead of complaining about the problem and blaming others, start finding the solution.
I have the choice to be angry at God for what I don't have, or be thankful for what I do have.
When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change it or accept it. All else is madness.
As you waste your breath complaining about life someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have. Be thankful and stop complaining. Live more, complain less. Have more smiles, less stress, less hate, become more blessed.
Be stronger than your excuses.
Understanding our place in the world begins with respect for animals.
If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. - James Herriot
Beautiful things happen when you distance yourself from negativity.
Struggling now doesn't mean struggling forever. We can hold out for a better time.
You're not "failing" at being happy. You're recovering from overwhelming stress. Please be patient and allow your mind some recovery time; this won't last forever.
The Latest Kate
Sometimes we have to ponder life to discover the answers we are searching for.
When we share our lives with animals, our spiritual paths intertwine. - Kathleen Prasad
Love your earth. It has cats and dogs.
Animals are a very important part of this earth and our life depends on them and theirs on us. It is a cycle that should not be changed by a human being.
In life, never forget these important things.
Home is not a place, but a feeling.
Time is not measured by a clock, but by moments.
Heartbeats are not heard, but felt and shared.
Just because things could have been different doesn't mean they would have been better.
You spend most of your life inside your head. Make it a nice place to be.

I love the one about spending life inside your head. And the Canadian ones!
ReplyDelete...Never waste a second of your life complaining. Complaining doesn't solve problems, it attracts them and I've found that no one ever listens to my complaining any way!
ReplyDeleteThese are good ones!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the black cat in your first photo! I admire Nick Vujicic. He was in Malaysia many years ago but I missed the opportunity to attend his talk. Oh, I love your tshirts!
ReplyDeleteI really admire Nick Vujicic, he's a great speaker and example. I like all these about complaining.
ReplyDeleteThe Bunny Hop is ALWAYS a good time! But I must say, it's been years (well, decades actually) since I've done it! I like t-shirts too and those ones you've got are great!
ReplyDeleteSome great quotes and words here Linda . . . thank you.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for sharing your t-shirts :)
Good wishes for the remainder of the week - just think it's the 1st of March on Sunday!!!
All the best Jan
Being thankful each and every day for what we have is a way of realizing life is bountiful.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Hey Linda! Great collection again today. Love the fast food one!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI’m still laughing at Canadian fast food. 😊❤️
ReplyDeleteI have only lived with one black cat, but he is definitely a lover!
ReplyDeleteLindas fotos y lindas reflexiones. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice set of reminders. BTW: I've had many black cats--they always look sleek and mysterious.
ReplyDeleteCanadian fast food--LOL. I have a black cat; she's sleek and soft. I would never have chosen her (I would have preferred a tabby) but I inherited her from my younger daughter who went to teach for a year in Korea. When she came back, I didn't want to give Mari back. We'd fallen in love! That was 12 years ago. :) I have to vent first before I can buckle down and look at solutions. It's just my style.
ReplyDeleteVisiting your blog space is a soothing experience. As a lover of animals, especially cats, I find those feline quotes here charming.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, the dove on the Woodstock guitar. It's been a while since I've seen that image.
ReplyDeleteSo many great reminders about not complaining!! Also, I've heard that fellow with no arms nor legs speaking and he's so inspirational.
ReplyDeleteI hope your week is going along nicely.
Cute t-shirts.
ReplyDeleteI love that quote from James Herriot, Linda, Animals can teach us exactly what God has wanted us to learn all along. I loved James' book and film series on BBC years ago. Inspiration is all around us. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteJust for Laughs was a very happy clip.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all these sweet things you have gathered here. Favorites for me are the Tolle quote and the video from Montreal with the line dance. Great for the smiles you gave me.
ReplyDeletewow.... "As you waste your breath complaining about life someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have. Be thankful and stop complaining. Live more, complain less. Have more smiles, less stress, less hate, become more blessed." This is convicting.
ReplyDeleteCanadian selfie and Canadian fast food 😀
ReplyDeleteNow I have those images inside my head
and already it's more fun in there 😀💚
No complaints!
The polar bear video was so cute I invited my husband to watch it, too. 💛
ReplyDeleteYour T-shirts are really nice, Linda. the videos are good, the polar bear one is ever so sweet with those little ones.
ReplyDelete"Never waste a second of your life complaining. Complaining doesn't solve problems; on the contrary, it attracts them. The more you complain, the more problems you'll have. And the more you infect others with your problems. Don't be the infection. Be the cure."
ReplyDeleteThis quote resonated with me especially today.
Thank you, Linda, and I wish you many happy moments!
I wish more people would respect animals. We share this beautiful planet with them, we don't own them. I admit, I do complain when I don't feel well, but you are right - it doesn't solve anything. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite from this post "Be stronger than your excuses. "
ReplyDeleteThank your for sharing and may your days be blessed.
ps. I like your shirts.
Thanks for brightening my day
ReplyDeletei’ll try to focus more on being a 'cure' rather than an 'infection'..
ReplyDeleteI love black cats, linda. Your T-shirts are lovely. I wouldn't mind wearing them.
ReplyDeletegreetings,
G.
The Polar Bear cubs are so cute romping in the snow.
ReplyDeleteAs always, a great post that I read with great pleasure. I really enjoy your work!
ReplyDeleteLovely quotes, Linda. They are very useful.
ReplyDeleteafternoon greetings from kuala lumpur! today is quite gloomy day here as there is intermitten clouds above the sky..anyway, i love this quote so much : Appreciate what you have. Be thankful and stop complaining. Live more, complain less. Have more smiles, less stress, less hate, become more blessed! and your shirts are all cute with those lovely quotes on them!
ReplyDeleteMerci Linda , j'adhère totalement
ReplyDeleteMoins de plaintes et plus de respect pour notre Terre, c'est un programme qui me plaît beaucoup !
Tes mots font du bien.
Bonne journée.
If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans.
ReplyDeleteGood quotes. Have a good and beautiful day filled with harmony.
Beijinhos ´,~`))))
Love your earth. It has cats and dogs. 🥰
ReplyDeleteThese T-shirt designs are so beautiful!!! What great quotes and words of wisdom they contain. The poor dog has to fight his way through life too, as seen in the video.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful days
hugs Elke
Great collection of inspiring words Linda!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Take care, enjoy your day!
Bom dia minha querida amiga Linda. Obrigada pelas reflexões maravilhosas. Gostei muito da segunda e terceira reflexões. Grande abraço do seu amigo brasileiro. Uma excelente quinta-feira.
ReplyDeleteWonderful gag, Linda!
ReplyDeleteNice shirts you were!
Lie(f)s.
We love our sweet animals here. Thank you for sharing with us, Linda.
ReplyDeleteBelinda
Pěkné myšlenky, videa výborná, děkuji za sdílení. ☺
ReplyDeleteExcellent choices. Too many good ones to pick a favorite today
ReplyDeleteThank you for this selection of quotes and videos. You find the best quotes. :)
ReplyDeleteEstoy de acuerdo con muchas frases de las que nos dicen que en lugar de quejarnos, deberíamos ver el lado positivo. como siempre nos traes grandes sentencias.
ReplyDeleteDe las prendas me encantan en especial el del selfi y comida rápida.
Los videos del baile de la conga y los ositos me encantaron.
Saludos.
Che bello passare a trovarti, grazie!!!
ReplyDeleteYou always have the best post enjoyed the sayings and all the videos.
ReplyDeleteSometimes life get really hard, and it's hard not to complain!
ReplyDeleteBut hopefully better days will come! Lets have faith!
Have a nice weekend!
These are great Linda. "Love your earth. It has cats and dogs." sooooooo true <3
ReplyDeleteI have had a number of black cats in my life, the last one was quite stupid LOL but very talkative and loving. It was very strange because all my cats have always been smart.
ReplyDeleteLove these, Linda. My grandparents always believed that it was good luck if a black cat chose you to be it's family. And I have to remember to take a look around me before complaining. Others have it way worse.
ReplyDeleteBe a cure...I need to keep that in mind.
ReplyDeleteIndeed be thankful what you have.
ReplyDeleteYou come up with some great quotes. My favorite this time is: Love, Time Heart one with the bird house. Also, the bunny hop video - too funny
ReplyDeleteCanadian fast food!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, each of these pearls of insight and wisdom is inspiring ... words to live by I believe. The first image brought back warm memories of black cat Charlie, ours in the 1970s.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice here. I would add, see the beauty around you every single day. Even as small as a perfect blade of grass or color of your own eyes.
ReplyDeleteThat cat in the first picture is exactly like the one my grandfather had. Great thoughts.
ReplyDeleteExpressing gratitude is a wonderful habit to develop, and it's surprising how giving thanks can change one's outlook on life.
ReplyDeleteThose are all so good and it really is true about black cats.
ReplyDeletehello Sweet Linda....Black cats are truly beautiful but: I can't even believe I am saying this, but they truly scare me. Why? I do not know why. I'm not superstitious though. You always give us some very good advise and I so appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteOh good ones The one I needed to hear today was "Just because things could have been different doesn't mean they would have been better." as you sometimes ponder "What if?" Love the T-shirt with the Canadian selfie haha Hope you have a great day Linda
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, our son Sam has a black cat named Joey. His personality is just something, he has so much love to give.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the quote below... it spoke to me today.
I have the choice to be angry at God for what I don't have, or be thankful for what I do have.
The T-shirts are fun!
Oi, Linda! Obrigada por estas mensagens positivas e maravilhosas! Nossa vida fica bem melhor junto aos nossos pets! (❁´◡`❁)Beijos nas bochechas!
ReplyDeleteI like your Canadian shirt with the animals - the pink one.
ReplyDeleteI also like this:
Never waste a second of your life complaining. Complaining doesn't solve problems, it attracts them. The more you complain, the more problems you'll have. And the more you infect other people with your problems. Don't be an infection. Be a cure.
It is true.
This is a wonderful post, Linda. You are so right about complaining. I really like all of the memes and the bunny hop. Have a very nice day today.
ReplyDeleteI love the wobbly dog video, it is priceless!
ReplyDeleteGood reminders here about thankfulness, appreciation and respect for animals.
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring quotes ... we can either appreciate the haves or complain about the have-nots - the choice is ours.
ReplyDeleteLoved your collection of T-shirts
Quante belle citazioni, una più bella dell’altra, dovremmo davvero fare tesoro di queste parole. Grazie.
ReplyDeletesinforosa
The Canadian selfie and Canadian fast food are my favourites this week. I needed a smile today!
ReplyDeleteThere's definitely a difference between using your voice to stand up (complaining) and just whining about stuff you can't change.
ReplyDeleteYou've an interesting selection of t-shirts Linda, you love spreading positivity wherever you go.
ReplyDeleteThese are good words of wisdom. I know I have NOTHING to complain about!!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the complaining, it doesn't help matters all it seems to do is make things worse, and there is always someone that has it worse than we do. Love your shirt collection, so fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful quotes concerning complaining. You always have the best advice and positive thoughts. Who doesn't love a black cat...I had three and loved them all. Hope you are having a good week. I agree the snow is not bad but the ice can be dangerous. Take care. Hugs!
ReplyDeletea great selection of quotes today. i have been listening to so many people complain about the weather. instead of saying how lucky they are to have a warm home to shelter in!!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's interesting that I was just reading the story of Nick Vujicic on facebook this very evening...and then I see him here too. I've seen him before on a film or TV or someplace giving his motivational talks to young people, and he is amazing. He gives us a lot to think about when we think we can't do something. I love the Black Cat picture...now that I have a black cat in my life...he really is something special.I enjoyed all of your pictures. The Canadian Selfie is really good. I hope you are having a wonderful week. Thank you for doing this each week. They always give us something to ponder!!
ReplyDeleteLots of inspiring quotes Linda!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda I like your T shirts! So many cats and dogs quotes today! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes indeed, Linda, beautiful the black cat!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
There's a lot of wisdom in these thoughts. Thanks for visiting Elzeviroblog.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, thank you for sharing with us the pictures on your 4 t-shirts. All my clothes are just plain colours without any pictures so now I realise that my clothes are so boring. Your t-shirts with words and pictures are more meaningful 👍😊
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Friday when U wake up! 🌞
Hello from Finland 🤗🤍 Thank you very much for your beautiful, wise and positive words! Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteWithout any doubt, today dear Linda I choose Nick Vujicic. I have known about his journey for many years, his example of overcoming, his faith, his joy, his testimony. I was deeply impressed from the very first day. How different the world would be with people like him. May his bravery and courage encourage you as well. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteTutto molto bello e apprezzato !! Quanti giusti insegnamenti, in queste tue parole !! Saluti. Buon week end !!!
ReplyDeleteThe Canadian selfie is perfect.
ReplyDeleteDon't be the infection, be the cure! I love it! Have an inspiring day today.

ReplyDeleteI need to get rid of complaining.
ReplyDeleteBest regards :)
Your post feels like a gentle reset button for the mind. The mix of quotes, animal wisdom, and those fun T‑shirts creates such a warm rhythm, and I love how each piece nudges the reader toward gratitude rather than frustration. The reminders about choosing perspective, especially the thought about spending most of life inside your own head, really stayed with me. The videos were a sweet lift too, especially the polar bear family.
ReplyDeleteMuito belos pensamentos para reflectir. Grata!
ReplyDeletebeijos
I hate complaining and those who complain. There are so mamy things to be grateful for! Love your post!
ReplyDeleteGreat videos! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteKisses
Great Quotes!!!
ReplyDeleteGratitude yes, but with tenderness toward our own fragility. I see the most light in the lines about animals. They teach without words.
ReplyDeleteMuito boas as frases.
ReplyDeleteAdorei o gato preto!
Boa entrada de mês de março.
Hi Linda -- I hope you're feeling well and haven't been blogging the last few days because you're off somewhere interesting having fun, and not because you are ill with anything. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteKiitos Linda. Tärkeitä ajatuksia meille kaikille. Ihana olet.
ReplyDeleteKevennykset kivoja, jääkarhun pennut suloiset. Porukka tanssi letkajenkkaa. Se on Suomessa kehitetty tanssi. Oli kovasti muotia vuosia sitten, mutta tanssitaan sitä vieläkin. Toimi hyvin "jäänmurtajana". Kaikilla oli hauskaa!
Great post, thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteThank you and best regards from Viola.
ReplyDeleteThe dance video is simply fantastic – laughter is contagious! Isn't it!
Hugs
Some very good ideas here as usual. Today I really like the one that says Be stronger than your excuses! - love it.
ReplyDeletePiękny ten czarny kot 🐱
ReplyDeleteThe bunny hop video made my morning. Now I have a big smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteWise and beautiful words, my dear. I have to say that our black kitty sisters look different depending upon the light. Bright sunlight sometimes makes them appear sable or sparkly. :D Best wishes, my dear.
ReplyDeleteGdyby tak jeszcze łatwo było je wszystkie zastosować... 🤔 Pozdrawiam serdecznie!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I wrote about Nick Vujicic a long time ago. I'm very impressed by this man.
ReplyDeleteCats are always there for me, I love them.
Best, Linda, and have a great new week.
Boa tarde minha querida amiga Linda. Passando para desejar, um excelente mês de março, com muita paz e saúde.
ReplyDeletei revisit this entry and now loving this quote: In life, never forget these important things.
ReplyDeleteHome is not a place, but a feeling.
Time is not measured by a clock, but by moments.
Heartbeats are not heard, but felt and shared....truly indeed!
Mam czarne koty i psy i uważam, że dają z siebie dużo miłości, chociaż ciężej robi im się zdjęcia :P
ReplyDeleteMiłego dnia! I zdrowia życzę
I read a book about Nick Vujicic awhile ago - a very inspirational man, so I was glad to see a quote from him.
ReplyDeleteTodas las citas son buenísimas, me gustaron todas. Que tengas un feliz mes de marzo.
ReplyDelete
