What’s a quote that perfectly describes your outlook on life?

The other day, when we were on our way to the grocery store, the kids were watching Kung Fu Panda on DVD in the van.

I overheard Master Oogway 🐢, one of the characters in the movie, say to Po (the panda 🐼):

“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it’s called a present.”

This quote made me smile because Master Oogway is right—today is truly a gift. Each new day we are given is a great blessing.

When I wake up in the morning, I thank God for blessing me with a new day of life, drawing me back to Him, and keeping me connected to my loved ones.

So, Master Oogway’s wise words in the children’s animated film Kung Fu Panda is my outlook on life. 🐼🙏🏽

There’s nothing to watch on Netflix

I’ve been sick since Friday, and most of my days have been spent in bed resting.

So, naturally when you’re sick, you binge watch TV. I’ve been watching a ton of gardening videos (of course! 😂) on YouTube and some Heartland (my comfort show).

But why is there nothing interesting to watch on Netflix?! 😲

Yellow Door Urban Homestead is one of my favorite gardening channels on YouTube. 😊
I also love watching MIGardener on YouTube! Very informative gardening channel. 🌿

This evening, I spent 30 min searching through Netflix’s content, and I only found maybe 5 or 6 movies/shows that seem interesting. They’re all older, too. Maybe between 2007 – 2021.

I pay $20/month for what exactly? 😏 I’m seriously thinking about canceling my subscription. Lol

Happy Friday

Eight Comfort Shows I Return To

Posted on Posted in Life ReflectionsTagged , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

I wasn’t feeling good today, so Travis took off from work early to care for the kids so I could rest.

I am so thankful for his love and care. I was able to get into pajamas by 3:30 p.m.—something I normally don’t get to do on a weekday!

While Travis took the kids to the library for a homeschool meetup, I relaxed in our cozy bed watching one my favorite TV series (Southland). I got to thinking about how comforting it is to rewatch a favorite movie or TV show when I feel anxious or under the weather.

My go-to comfort shows are the Canadian television series Heartland, Downton Abbey, The West Wing, Grantchester, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, ER, Pride & Prejudice (starring Kiera Knightley and Matthew Macfayden), and Persuasion (starring Dakota Johnson).

What’s a show or movie you always return to when you need comfort?

Happy Friday!
