Have you ever dwelled upon what that actually means

 

Are we only talking about a dogs love

towards us humans

 

I hope not

I am not

 

I think unconditional love must go both ways

 

And of course not only in a dog human relationship.

 

Human to human relationship as well

 

When you meet that kind of person with whom you can feel the bond with

The bond you didn't think you would ever feel in this lifetime

What a blessed feeling

 

You can be the one you truly are

No pretending

With the flaws you have

With the scars from the lived life

Plain and simple

 

And be loved without questioning

 

And love back without questioning

 

We do mess it all up don't we, trying to adapt towards others, please others, instead of being true to ourselves.

 

We must evolve within, yes of course. We must take difficult choices, and we need to take them to get further in our growth.

 

To grow is to respect and love yourself.

If you don't respect and love yourself, who would than respect and love you truly and unconditionally

 

This is of course my belief, my thoughts. You may disagree all you want, I couldn't care.

 

I stand in my belief, it lays in my spine and for me this is the way.

 

I'm truly feeling blessed.

 

This image I'm posting is an image of that belief I have.

 

It may look like a dream, but dreams can come through, you never know.

 

Enjoy if you want, I'm happy to share.

 

Amen

 

I submit this image to Flickr Friday, "There is no place like home" - Unconditional love is a state of mind and in my eyes this should feel like a natural home, the place we all want to be 🙏

As well as my forest is my second home 💙

Hope you all will do something nice that you like to do and not because you have to do it🙏

We need joy.

We need love.

And we need to start with ourselves.

That's at least my opinion 💝

Bathing in love

sure is nice

This one is literally bathing

My doggos

 

A special shout-out to all my Flickr friends and visitors, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography.

Cali & Hef side by side walking on the beach.

She is never far away.

Always walking in his footsteps 👣 🐾

 

Llandanwg Beach sits between the towns of Barmouth and Harlech on the southern side of Tremadog Bay. It is also part of the wider Snowdonia National Park and situated close to the pretty Afon Dwyryd estuary.

 

The sand dunes to the back of the beach conceal the tiny church of Saint Tanwg which dates from the 13th century. A small path winds through the dunes and leads you to the beach from the central car park area or you can take a trail from Cardigan Bay. As you sit on the pristine sands you will also be able to enjoy vistas of the rugged Rhinog Mountains in the distance.

 

The beach here shelves gently into the sea making this a good place to swim, although there is no lifeguard so care should be taken. When the tide is low, it reveals a causeway out to pretty Mochras which is also known by its local nickname of Shell Island due to the plethora of different hued shells found on the its beach.

 

Due to its strategic position, Llandanwg Beach is shielded from the well known Welsh winds which can be a little fresh at times meaning that you can enjoy this area even in the off-season. The beach is also well-loved by locals including fisherman who come here for the plentiful supplies of bass, mackerel, flatfish, and dogfish. With that in mind keen anglers will find plenty to do here, or you can explore dainty rock pools or simply go for a stroll on the soft, pristine sand.

 

Amenities at Traeth Llandanwg include disabled access and the village is also home to the quaint Y Maes Cafe close to the beach which operates from June to October.

"Never grumpy when out hiking", is a Norwegian saying.

I often think about this because I feel that I am so lucky having a gorgeous scenery to hike in and ofc Aiko ❤💝❤ He is the one reason why we are out hiking, and I have realized that it has become a necessity for me too to move my butt out of the house.

So yes, never grumpy 😊

Being a family means you are a part of something very wonderful. It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life.

The love of family and the admiration of friends are much more important than wealth and privilege.

Two years ago today we were rescued!

Today is the 9th day of Valentine's month of February, and it is fitting to share my gratitude for the love shown to me by my friends and to promote love and friendship for everyone. We all need and deserve friends.

Will You Ever?

Kaitlyn M. Yawn

 

I don't think you will

Ever fully understand

How you've touched my life

And made me who I am.

 

I don't think you could ever know

Just how truly special you are,

That even on the darkest nights

You are my brightest star.

 

You've allowed me to experience

Something very hard to find,

Unconditional love that exists

In my body, soul, and mind.

 

I don't think you could ever feel

All the love I have to give,

And I'm sure you'll never realize

You've been my will to live.

 

You are an amazing person,

And without you I don't know where I'd be.

Having you in my life

Completes and fulfills every part of me.

These two have a very special bond. He even follows her to the bathroom,lol.For The December 31st / 2022 Happy Caturday Theme "The Ways Our Cats Show Us Their Love "

Remembering Mili today.

Three years ago at 12, our White German Shepherd passed away in our arms.

Fom a 9 week puppy, she gave unconditional love every day of her little life.

Really sadly missed, by her sister Cali and us 💔💔💔🐾

*Working Towards a Better World

The Ultimate lesson

all of us have to learn is

unconditional love,

which includes not only others,

but ourselves as well. -

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

 

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word. -

Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

Love is an unconditional commitment to an imperfect person. To love somebody isn’t just a strong feeling. It is a decision, a judgement and a promise. - Anon

 

You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. - Dr. Seuss

 

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear. - John Lennon

 

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️

♫ Feel Me ♫

  

Music was my first love

And it will be my last

Music of the future

And music of the past

To live without my music

Would be impossible to do

In this world of troubles

My music pulls me through

  

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”

 

― Plato

🎧 ♫ 🎼 Listen 🎼 ♫ 🎧

  

Whatever mess you find yourself within

Regardless how you got there

When the edifice has slipped away and died

And left you standing there defenseless

 

Love can heal

Love can heal

Love can heal

Love can heal

 

There's something moving out of you, your body and your skin

Like mist comes from the water

You can sense it, when the cold has clenched its claws

And, alone, you face what's coming

 

For a moment, I raise my head

I can breathe the air

Out in the sunlight, in all the colours

Set against a bed of green

A bed of green

 

Love can heal

Love can heal

Love can heal

Love can heal

Love can heal

(Give into love) Love can heal

Give into love

Give into love

  

Have a lovely Week ahead my dear friends . Forgive me for not being very active at the moment, RL has taken up most of my time and energy.

Cali with us on the Estuary walk in Talsarnau.

There is a dusting of snow on this chilly Winter's afternoon.

The water pools at the estuary were frozen and the puddles too on the

rugged track.

The sheep graze here, weather and tide permitting but are moved to higher ground in inclement weather conditions by the farmers, for safety and to be warmer.

Cali- one beautiful natured lady.

We lost her sister- Mili 💔 and will be remembering her on Monday, as it will be 2 years without her, with treasured and much loved photographs to add to photostream.

Cali has struggled without

Mili, but remains full of unconditional love for everyone and everything in her life

One beautiful friend ❤️

PS: For The National Dog Day 26 August

 

♥ No one can win hearts like man’s best friend and in honour of this bond between man and canine, Dog Day is celebrated.

 

Take time to appreciate the love and value that dogs bring to our daily lives, and to do your bit for homeless and abused dogs the world over. From keeping us safe working for the emergency services to supporting people who are blind, deaf or disabled, dogs do a lot for us humans, and this is an opportunity to give something back ... ♥ ♥ ♥
