Here are today's picks, which I hope will brighten your day!
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Did you know? Despite the hype, humans - not cats - are the number one threat to birds.
Success is not about doing everything perfectly. It's about doing what you can, when you can, with what you have.
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already. - Dave Barry :)
The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your thoughts. - Robin Sharma
It's not always that life is bad; sometimes you feel down because you haven't slept well, or eaten enough, or connected with someone in a while.
Gratitude helps you fall in love with the life you already have. - Unknown
If today gets difficult, remember the smell of coffee, the way sunlight bounces off a window, the sound of your favorite person's laugh, the feeling when a song you love comes on, the color of the sky at dusk and that we are here to take care of each other. - Nanca Hoffman
When you discover that all happiness is inside of you, the wanting and needing are over, and life gets very exciting. - Byron Katie

Whatever is going to happen will happen, whether we worry or not. - Ana Monnar
Living with anxiety is like being followed by a voice. It knows all your insecurities and uses them against you. It gets to the point when it's the loudest voice in the room. The only one you can hear.

Hello Linda
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Wednesday post, thank you.
Lovely skies, those pink hues are amazing.
I can't believe that Roger Whittaker video was 1971! How the years fly by... I enjoyed listening to it.
All the best Jan
That cat surfing is so cute:) I also thought it was interesting that humans endanger birds more than cats do.
ReplyDeleteLinda, this made me laugh! "My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already. - Dave Barry " How could anyone not feel better after M&AMs and chocolate cake? Oh, the pink sky you captured is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI like all of those but I really like the one about the therapist!

Hello Linda 🌸
ReplyDeleteI especially love the success quote--such a gentle reminder that progress matters more than perfection.
Your sunset skies are beautiful.
..."Success is not about doing everything perfectly. It's about doing what you can, when you can, with what you have." Perfection is overrated!
ReplyDeleteYour blue sky shot is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI like the one about listening to birds instead of news, much better for us!
Gratitude helps you fall in love with the life you already have. - Unknown
ReplyDeleteYou can't do much without gratitude.
I do love your pink clouds in the sky too.
Beautiful sunset photos--I love that pink hue also! My older daughter got on a kick as a child and would ask me, "What's the most dangerous animal in X country?" And I always responded, human beings!
ReplyDeleteLove that blue sky shot! Thank you for the positive vibes.
ReplyDeleteYou have the most beautiful skies!
ReplyDeleteThis I like: "The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your thoughts." So true.
ReplyDeleteKeep enjoying the wonderful skies!
