The following photos are my own. These are tops that I have and enjoy wearing! They are called "scrubs", because they are actually uniforms that are often worn by nurses, as well as veterinarians or vet technicians. Although I am retired and not working, I love these tops because they are comfortable, wash and dry very nicely and have large pockets on either side in the front. They all have a V-neck, and I get many compliments from even strangers when I wear any of these. As well, when I wear one of these scrubs, people can see that I love animals, and this makes me very happy. :) You can click on any image to see a larger view.

Cute tops!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I go through a 'storm' it is comforting to know God is with me and is in control. Trusting Him has gotten me through some tough times!!
I looked for sunshine today and found it! :)
ReplyDeleteI used to wear scrubs when I was working. A few of my nurse friends and I had matching scrubs and our patients loved them. We loved getting ones for special holidays too.
Such a fitting post for the moment, Linda.
ReplyDeleteBetween storms and calm, you always manage to remind us how important it is to pause, breathe, and look for a bit of light.
Thank you for sharing this peaceful corner time and again.
I love all these pictures and quotes. I love the cat pictures the most these days since I am slowly becoming a cat woman. LOL. I also love your Scrubs tops. They look comfy and I am sure they wash and dry nicely too. That's what matters to me...comfort and ease of care. And the animal pictures are fun too. I also loved the quote with the giraffes on it...
ReplyDeleteOoooo... I love the cat scrubs!! Thanks, always, for the good vibes and wisdom in your offerings here!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you in the last post. I had just noticed a theme and thought to comment on it. I won't do that again.
ReplyDeleteHi Liz, I was not at all offended! :) I just wanted to clarify, because you are newer to my blog, is all. No harm done whatsoever. :)
DeleteOh, dear friend Linda, sunshine we do have now! Peace of mind is a hard earned thing! And yes, I love storms - so seldom in the city!
ReplyDeleteSee... no one seems to understand when I keep quiet! Nothing´s wrong! Calmness sadly is not my thing, though.
Love your scrubs!
As we have limited data I can not enjoy your videos, though. Have a great start to the week - hot hugs and much love (weeee, I´m melting and I´m kinda loving it... kinda).
Lindas imagenes. . Te mando un beso
ReplyDelete...Linda, it always pays to look for the sunshine!
ReplyDelete"Not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path." Yes! And also the ones about staying calm. ❤️
ReplyDeleteHappy February! I hope you have a wonderful week.

ReplyDeleteOne of the best lessons you can learn in life is to master how to remain calm. - Linda I am trying - but I have begun to realize I am always running around doing something and I realize I am a bit stressed and need to do something about it.
I like the second nurse's shirt with the pastel cats.
Oh Linda! I love your scrubs! I would wear them too. Ah, I have faced many storms in my life as we all do, and I thank God that I survived them all. I love all the quotes and the cat photos. This morning I met 5 of my neighborhood cats and they really cheered up my morning!
ReplyDeleteI like all those animal print scrubs!
ReplyDeleteThe cat just a lovely pet... :D
ReplyDeleteHappy February too...
Love your scrubs, such fun fabrics. Happy February.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I can't imagine taking care of that many ducks!! Wow
ReplyDeleteI often see pretty scrubs at the thrift store and have been tempted to buy one. Now I'll follow your example and do so.
Have a lovely week!!
That first video reminded me of Candid Camera.
ReplyDeleteI love the two cat ones, they are my favorites!!
ReplyDeleteI loved everything you posted here today, Linda, but the musical video of Get Together by the Young Bloods brought me to tears. We all need to love each other right now. Why haven't we as a society learned that lesson that Jesus taught us? Blessings, dear friend!
ReplyDeleteI would love one of those kitty scrubs...
ReplyDeleteThe scrubs are adorable 🐕 🐈
ReplyDeleteSome of the badger dogs look like badger cats 😀
From the inspirational thoughts I take this one with me today: "If you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams, and you will always look lovely" 🥰 ❤️ 🌺
I remember the Youngbloods, nice song is that one and a good sound.
ReplyDeleteMemes are good as always, Linda and the Just for Laughs is good, think I've seen that one before and such a sweet lady to look after that humming bird :)
Mommy has a sleep shirt with the same kitty design
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful tops with all the animals! All the wonderful quotes to cheer you up and encourage you, the great videos!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the effort you put into what you do!
Have a great week!
hugs Elke
I love your scrubs! Have a great week, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThe quote about the storm clearing a path is very true! Ooh, your tops with animal prints are amazing! I own quite a few cat T-shirts myself :)
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, how are you? Hope you are feeling on top of the world 🙏
ReplyDeleteYour 4 tops are very colourful and lovely. From your words, I can imagine you feeling very happy when you are wearing them. It is good to be happy. 💕
Very colourful scrubs.
ReplyDeleteAll the quotes are very wise and allow for further reflection. All the best for this week!
ReplyDeleteBu ameliyat önlükleri çok sevimli. Her hastanede olmalı bence. Hastalara moral verir.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Linda,
ReplyDeleteDe beaux messages plein de sagesse. C'est vrai que les tempêtes de la vie nous bousculent parfois, mais ton article rappelle l'importance de trouver ce calme intérieur. Je te souhaite une semaine paisible et sereine.
ReplyDeleteHello dera friend, Linda, I like this quote: "I breathe in and know that good things will happen". When something is unclear, go to the balcony and breathe :-)
"Keep calm and be healthy" that's a beautiful quote too.
Have a great new week ❄🍩☕
This is my beloved quote between ALL wonderful quotes you show here:
ReplyDeleteEin ruhiger Geist hilft sicherzustellen, dass der Dringende nicht ständig über das Wichtige triumphiert. -
I LOVE your shirts with the animals! So enchanting! Have you been a nurse? Now you still are a beautiful nurse with your healing quotes!
Blessed Candlemas today!
A wonderful and soothing post, Linda. Thank you for the peaceful reminder to stay calm through the storms.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. Today you remind us once again of the importance of stopping for a moment and breathing calmly. I hold on to that message about storms that don’t come to break things, but to open the way. On difficult days, keeping that in mind helps more than we realize.
ReplyDeleteThank you for continuing to leave words here that offer comfort. Sending you a big hug and lots of encouragement.
Absolutely love those tops 😻😻😻
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, to wear scrubs. I've seen so many cute tops but have passed, since I don't work in any healthcare fields. Doesn't matter though, does it!!
Have a lovely week!
Hi Linda those scrubs look so colourful and comfortable.
ReplyDeleteYour scrubs are very attractive, and practical, too.
ReplyDeleteThose tops are adorable, Linda! I love printed tops as well, especially anything with animals. We’re definitely alike there 😊 Things have been quite peaceful in my life recently, which I’m very thankful for. I’m gently reminding myself to stay grounded and keep doing my best. And whenever challenges come, I’ll meet them calmly. I hope your days continue to be full of peace and joy ❤
ReplyDeleteCats are my favourites. All those quotes are great. Thank you for sharing it all and greetings from Finland.
ReplyDeleteYour tops are so cute. I've always thought scrubs looked so comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI tend to prefer a non stormy life, lol. It's only through the storm and afterwards I see the point of it all.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes and good advice! The cat scrubs are cute.
Happy February! Take care, have a great day and happy week ahead.
Wow, I need a file cabinet just like that :D neverending!
ReplyDeleteI love your "scrubs". There are so pretty and cheerful.
We had a terrible storm last week, so storms for me are not my favorite at this time!
Have a wonderful week!
Love the scrubs, especially the first blue one! Wishing you a nice February, it started subzero here with a dusting of snow in my city and blizzard in the south.
ReplyDeletevery beautiful post, thank you
ReplyDeletePeace of mind is everything! Love that meme.
ReplyDeleteI'm navigating a storm of my own at the minute, these are good.
ReplyDeleteYou carried the storm/clam theme very well.
ReplyDelete¡Hola!
ReplyDeleteQue lindo post.
Que febrero sea un gran mes para ti.
Un fuerte abrazo.
I love the Kristen Butler quote!
ReplyDeleteYour scrubs are made with some fun fabrics! I know they are comfortable.
ReplyDeleteThose are some seriously cute scrubs.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, very Zen 😊, very cut 😽
ReplyDeleteNice 'scrubs' you were, Linda! What a drawer! :-)
ReplyDeleteLie(f)s.
Good morning Linda-this was a perfect post for these very cold wintery days-love scrubs too hugs
ReplyDeleteLinda, my dear, my best wishes for a new month February...
ReplyDeleteWith all the dreary and wet weather we are having at the moment, Eeyore's message is wonderfully positive. I do love all you cat scrubs; they are delightful and I'm not surprised that others love them too. Even better that they wash well. Thank you for brightening my week and I hope you find some sunshine like Eeyore tells us.
ReplyDeletelove to see hummingbirds flying around.....
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing videos.
I would gladly wear such scrubs as well!!!
ReplyDeleteWe in Minnesota are feeling the storm and the fire!
ReplyDeleteBoa tarde minha querida amiga Linda. Hoje foi difícil escolher uma reflexão. Todas são bem interessantes. Um excelente mês de fevereiro com muita paz e saúde. Parabéns pelo seu amor pelos animais. Grande abraço do seu amigo brasileiro.
ReplyDeleteYour scrubs are so cute, I can understand why you like them.
ReplyDeleteMy son's girlfriend wears scrubs for work, she enjoys the comfort of them.
ReplyDeleteI like the ones you have shared with us.
Great scrubs, I love them. The Youngbloods song fits right in to today's world. Always loved that song. Wishing you a fabulous February, Linda.
ReplyDeleteYour scrubs are beautiful and I bet they're comfortable and sturdy! I've been through many storms (most of us have) and don't enjoy them much. They're necessary for growth though.
ReplyDeleteI always felt that buying scrubs would make me a poser but I'm rethinking this. :D Who's gonna care, anyway? Hugs, my dear.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting us. We like the scrubs too!
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, I wish you a happy new month of February.
ReplyDeleteI like your scrub tops, so colourful.
All the best Jan
I definitely hope the storms are clearing a path for all of us to move forward in a positive direction.
ReplyDeleteI love and believe in "Slow down. Calm down. Don't worry. Don't hurry."
ReplyDeleteThose are all so good, cats always calm the storm.
ReplyDeleteBouře se životem někdy přežene, ale najít bezpečný přístav je lepší. Tvé blůzky jsou veselé a jejich barevnost vyvolává dobrou náladu.
ReplyDeleteAť se daří, Lindo! ☺
Well, we have been stuck in a cycle of winter storms lately, which has triggered internal storms in many folks, so I'd say your posts were quite timely!!
ReplyDeleteAs an introvert, I appreciate the quote about sitting by yourself and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit.
dear linda. morning greetings from kuala lumpur. it is a sunny day here. thanks for always dropping by at my lil blog. for today, i choose this quote: Keep walking through the storm. Your rainbow is waiting on the other side! and your tops/blouses are all cute!! i love 'em too! take care dear linda!
ReplyDeleteOi, Linda! Os uniformes são práticos e fofinhos com esta estampa de pets. Por aqui também usamos, mas eu ainda prefiro colocar as batas por cima para proteção. E sim, manter a calma é muito importante e eu amo ficar em paz comigo mesma.Beijos nas bochechas! :-D
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say about the Marsh video aside from it being excellent...it came to pass.
ReplyDeleteThe hummingbird rescue was sweet.
Oh Linda, the scrubs are delightful!
ReplyDeleteI’d happily wear them too.
Life’s storms have tested me, but I’m grateful for the strength to endure. The quotes and cat photos bring such comfort.
Linda, a really wonderful post with great quotes.
ReplyDeleteGreetings
"Even the sky screams out loud sometimes." 😀
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your scrubs and would love to have some myself, but online sizing is too tricky. Our local vet people wear animal themed scrubs.
Precioso todo... Que bellos los gatos.

What beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteThe sayings are also very nice.
I love this one.
If you have positive thoughts, they will radiate from your face like rays of sunshine, and you will always look beautiful. - Roald Dahl

ReplyDeleteYour collection of calm‑themed quotes feels like a deep exhale, and I love how you paired them with those cheerful animal scrubs. The mix of wisdom, gentle humor, and bright colors creates such a comforting pause in the day. The reminder that some storms clear a path instead of blocking it is one I’ll be carrying with me.
ReplyDeleteI love those tops. It's great when someone feels they can express themselves freely. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThey look so lovely on you, and the animal prints make them even more special. You truly wear your love for animals with pride...
