When the mind learns to let go, what was once heavy becomes light. What was once chaotic becomes still. And what was once unseen may now appear with perfect clarity. - Phra Supalak
Forgiveness does not mean forgetting the past, but learning how to remember without allowing old wounds to take away the peace of the present. - Bhikkhu Pannakara
Forgotten chicken
Ingredients: 4 boneless chicken breasts, 2 cups uncooked instant rice, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1 packet dry onion soup mix. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 and a half hours.
A little love goes a long way.
Simplicity
Who betrays you once will betray you a thousand times. There is no need to drink the whole sea to realize that it is salty. Be wise.
How to manage anger...recognize triggers, practice deep breathing, take a time-out, express your feelings, use relaxation techniques, think before speaking, identify possible solutions.
Don't forget to play.
If you eat watermelon with a pinch of sea salt, it restores lost minerals faster than sports drinks.
Better Remedies
Accept what isn't so that you can move forward with what is.
It's time to just be happy. Being angry, sad and overthinking isn't worth it anymore. Just let things flow. Be positive.
Walking 75 minutes per week can add 2 years to your life. 40 minutes 3 times per week protects brain memory. 30 minutes a day can reduce depression by 36%. 60 minutes a day can cut the risk of obesity in half.
Not my coop. Not my poop! :)
Every day is a new beginning. Take a deep breath, smile and start again.
Not every season is for growing. Maybe right now is your time to be dormant. Step back and rest for a while.

I have made that chicken recipe before. So good!
ReplyDeleteSending love dear friend. Big breathes taken as my day begins. My chickens love watermelon on a hot day, as do the honeyeaters quendas and ravens. I might try the salt trick myself in the summer though. Great tip 🍉
ReplyDeleteI like all the staying positive ones, we need that right now with all that we hear bad, there is still a lot of good in the world too,we need to concentrate on that :). Hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteEvery day is new, and every month is new!! Always joyful to visit here!! xo
ReplyDeleteI had chihuahuas when I was a kid so I really got a kick out of the protective lizard one. :)
ReplyDeleteLinda. "Purrs of Wisdom" and "Accept what isn't so that you can move forward with what is" speek to me," Many things are out of my control! Take care and be well.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful reminder. ❤️ Learning to let go can bring so much peace and clarity. Thank you for sharing these uplifting words and always brightening the blogging community!
ReplyDeleteI've made that chicken before, now I need to make it again. Sounds good in this cooler weather.
ReplyDeleteI love watermelon with salt.
I love seeing old photos like your family one. They are treasures.
These were great, Linda. Learning to let go and let God take over is such a wonderful way to live life. When we can let go of the past and the things that have bound us and hurt us, and let God be in control of our thoughts and actions instead, we gain a peace that the world cannot take away from us. Forgiving others, even when they don't ever say "I'm sorry", is the only way to move forward. Just don't look back. You're not going that way. "Remember Lot's wife." Luke 17:32. I remind myself of that verse and what Jesus said many times when I am tempted to look back at the past. I don't want to become a pillar of salt. Have a blessed and wonderful rest of your week. You always give us something to think about!
ReplyDeleteThese are so good! However, I'm loving the not my coop not my poop!! I'm stealing that one. Fox are cute so is the dog one.
ReplyDelete"Forgiveness does not mean forgetting the past, but learning how to remember without allowing old wounds to take away the peace of the present."
ReplyDeleteWow, so beautiful, thanks for this post.
Happy Wednesday!!
Another great post, Linda! We all need to take a deep breath and move on.
ReplyDeleteLindas imagenes. Gracias por la receta y los consejos. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteI love your aunt's polka dot dress!
ReplyDelete"Here comes the sun" is one of my favourite Beatles songs.
We didn't call it forgotten chicken. We called it chicken & rice, and I had it with some frequency during my childhood. I've even made it lately. It's a great dinner.
ReplyDeleteLots of good advice in these memes.
ReplyDeleteHappy to see your blog post in the morning, Linda..
ReplyDeleteYour aunt's family picture brings me much memories of my own.. It is lovely.. You previously shared a picture of her, if I remember right? Wearing the same dress. She carries it so well; such a beautiful polka dot dress. I wish we went back to dressing up like old times..
The forgotten chicken, it is the first time I am hearing it. My mother roasts chicken in pan and serves us with rice and gravy. (she makes with coconut milk and spices) I grew up learning to make more of pan based chicken dishes. This one you shared sounds flavorful and tempting. I must try once. Thank you again.
Your posts are always pleasant to read in the morning..😊 Makes my mornings much better. My best wishes to you India.
"Not my coop, not my poop!" HAHAHAHAHA, I love it! Must send that one to my sister!
ReplyDeleteInteresting info about eating watermelon with a pinch of salt.
ReplyDeleteI love vintage photos that give you a glimose into the past, like the one your cousin Vince shared.
Bhikkhu Pannakara is spot on.
ReplyDeleteWhen the mind learns to let go, what was once heavy becomes light. What was once chaotic becomes still. And what was once unseen may now appear with perfect clarity. This is my favourite today!!! Thank you, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThe chihuahua and the lizard is rather odd.
