From Mondays to Fridays, I share other bloggers post links and blog links, so this is just a gentle nudge to prod you into sending me some post links to feature.
It’s a way traffic of supporting each other and building a supportive blogging community
So feel free to drop your LINKS IN HERE.
Don’t be shy about it, I don’t bite
You are most welcome and thank you too.
Jacqueline
Every Tuesday, I share snippets of thoughts that I call ‘My Thinking Corner.’
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple.
Each Tuesday, share your very short snippets of positive, inspiring, motivating, health, spiritual, writing advice, clips, posts etc, that can serve as a prop to motivate others and simply add my link to your post.
I call it my thinking corner because, I actually take out a bit of time just to think through things, encapsulate my thoughts as much as possible and detoxify my mind. It helps give me clarity of vision and might help you too.
It might work for you in a different way, but the idea is to get the positive thoughts flowing.
Please send in your little thoughts. You never know whose life you might inspire.
I enjoyed the thoughts sent in by some rich thinkers. Look in and see. You might be inspired to share your thoughts.
Today’s Nuggets Stella’s snippets are full of enriching advice. ‘There’s always a way.’ All you’ve got to do is to look for it.
Tuesdays Thoughts Dupe’s short snippet is not only deep but calls for you to take an inner look at yourself. What do you see?
Tuesdays Trickles Do you still have your common sense with you, or has it gone with the wind?
Never Surrender Are you failing forward, or sitting in the dump?
Positive Choices Annettes’ post gives me serious pause to thought. WHAT are your choices? In her words and I quote below:
I need to share with you the fact that I am going through some trials right now. I have turned things over to the God of my understanding. This is new to me the FAITH thing. Never really thought about prayer or something bigger than myself.
‘May our reflections serve us well and bring about transformation that transcends beyond us and our peripheries.’
Thank you to all thinking contributors.
Jacqueline
P.S. Please let me know if your link is missing. There are some contributors that I can’t find their pingbacks. I think it’s better to always pingback to the most recent post of Thinking Corner.

Tomorrow is really not guaranteed any of us and that which we can do today no matter how little it is, is better done and when the following day comes, we do a bit more.
Experience has personally taught me lessons on how we rob ourselves through over-planning, procrastination and assumptions.
The future belongs only to those who live fully in their moments and take charge of each day as it comes.
We all know that the building blocks of a huge monument start with laying its base foundational stones.
So when you don’t put today’s stones in place, how exactly do you plan to get to the tip of that pinnacle?
Like my people would say back home ‘it’s the firewood that you gather during the dry season, that you will use during the rainy season.‘
When you take care of today’s plans, tomorrow’s plan will take care of itself.

‘PLEASE KEEP SENDING IN THE LINKS.’
Today’s featured blogs are:
Pranabaxom I enjoy reading Pranabaxom’s written words. An excerpt of the about page reads ‘I open my mind to the world. Like the weather, sometimes my poems are cloudy, sometimes stormy. I always like to see sunshine streaming through the leaves of trees, so I hope I can share some of this sunshine with my readers.’ Go check it out.
I am: I could like this poem so many times over. It speaks to you and gives you joy. Do check it out.
Lightheaded: let me introduce you to Nancy Thorton whose journey of creating a new life after retiring has become an exciting one at 8,200 feet. In her words: ‘I’ve made a life for myself with words. from the first poem I penned in second grade about puppies to selling some of the world’s most comfortable shoes. through all those years I had teachers, editors, account people, clients even clients’ wives telling me how to make my copy better. and on occasion they were right.’
Tell Me: ‘Blindfolded, Sarn could see nothing except the perpetual green glow of his eyes since their light was also trapped inside that light-tight fabric strip.
Yesterday, my son had a surprise for me and they made me cover my eyes and walk while he held my hand. I liked the idea of the surprise but didn’t quite trust that I wouldn’t hit my head before getting there.
Now, I can imagine how Sarn must have felt and in his own case, his life was endangered. Melinda keeps weaving a thick, suspenseful plot.
‘Do you want more eyes on your words?’Please visit their blogs and say hello. A few minutes may gain you a friendly support.

The two young men laughed and made fun of the strange lady in her colourful mismatched clothes. They were the town’s bullies, who preyed on those that they perceived as weak.
They called her mean names, shoved her around and they tried to frighten her into parting with any possible money that she had.
No one knew who she was. She was a drifter to these parts, but she knew people like them. She knew such boys whose idea of fun was to make others miserable and she had dealt with them in times past.
What they failed to understand was that beneath what their eyes could see, the bag ladies oddities ran far deeper than their imagination.
As she wheeled slowly towards the edge of town, Blaze and Basil grew impatient and decided to rough her up.
In a flash, she turned on them, chanting loudly as her eyes flashed vibrant neon colours. She turned them into two colourful, mellow cows with ear tags that read peace and love.
Till today, the citizens of Not-To-Be-Cowed town marvel at the strange appearance of the beautiful cows with the name tags, but they don’t miss the ruffians.
