Laughter is the shortest distance between two people. - Victor Borge
If proving your point involves insulting others, it's not a good point to bother making.
A secret to happiness...never allow another person to control your emotions.
These last three photos are ones I took years ago, here in Montreal.
I have no idea what this is called, but I loved the colours.
This is a small church west of Montreal, in the snow. I thought the view was so pretty, the sky was a beautiful blue!
This last photo is of two donkeys that I saw at a nature park years ago. They were very sweet and cooperative with my taking this photo. When I first saw them, they were much further away and not together! Somehow it seems that they wanted to make things easy for me by coming up close and standing side by side. I love donkeys! :)
The following is yet again another Just for Laughs Gag, Juste pour Rire in French, done here in Montreal. Enjoy!
This video is of a Filipino Traffic Cop who obviously enjoys his work! He smiles and dances while he directs the traffic. People even stop to watch him and applaud him at the end. A great example of going to work with a smile and a positive and fun attitude. Enjoy!
This last video is just two minutes in length. This is a water fountain in a mall somewhere. Take a couple of minutes to relax and enjoy!

When I was in Junior High and High School we used to get posters and hang them on our walls. Your memes kind of remind me of that. Cute pics, great messages!
ReplyDeleteThat church is charming and I like donkeys too.
The Christmas tree fainting has really occurred to me but with cats.
ReplyDeleteHappiness is a choice and it's free! Hope you had a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful church.
ReplyDeleteThe donkeys are so cute!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely adopt! Love the quote about happiness too. Thank you, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThe one plant looks like pipe cleaners!! My favorite quote is the one about not letting someone control your emotions. I had never thought of it that way; I need to remember it!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable post! Love the flowers! There is no way I would dance in traffic though.
ReplyDeleteBuongiorno dall'Italia dalla Toscana regione vicina a Firenze Grazie di essere passata da me e ho visto tanti tuoi interessi che spero tu coltivi con amore arricchiscono la vita e danno gioia
ReplyDeleteThe tree fainted because of the dog, made me laugh on a blue Monday. Thanks for sharing Linda.
ReplyDeleteAll so beautifully motivating!
ReplyDeleteHello, Linda! You wrote down a great quote of Karen Salmansohn. i have never read her books, although I know her. She is a behavioral change expert, who is involved in empowering people to live their happiest. Thank you for sharing dear friend :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice new week ☀
Post script:
ReplyDeleteI also ejoyed the two pictures of the church in Montreal and the two donkeys :-)
What a lovely collection of images and thoughts to brighten a Monday. The wisdom about happiness and kindness is truly uplifting, and those personal photos from Montreal are beautiful, especially the sweet donkeys. www.melodyjacob.com
ReplyDeleteWell, this Monday in Australia is a public holiday - so no Blues here!
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M, Wilsons Prom National Park, Australia
Have a wondeful week! I love the painting of the girl playing the flute. It's so soft and pretty! Ah and that fountain is so soothing!
ReplyDeleteMerci pour la visite.
ReplyDeleteMerci également pour ce billet plein de bonne humeur.
Bonne journée.
Lovely post Linda. I laughed when I saw that dog, 'the tree fainted'...lol
ReplyDeleteVideos are good, the Policeman one is good, can't imagine watching him directing the traffic and me sitting and driving past, it's a wonder he's permitted to do that.
Take care.
I love the fuzzy pink flowers but I have know idea what they are called. The little girl with the recorder brings back fond childhood memories for me, thank you. The fainting Christmas tree made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day, Linda.
A beautiful post of positivity 🐶
ReplyDeleteGreat and really funny! :D
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Wroclaw (Poland) 🤗
Have a good week! 🧡🌷
One of my abiding memories of living in Québec is the churches that dominated every village. To this day, it’s a pleasure to be driving through the province to see a steeple rising above the outline of a village ahead. We’ll have the pleasure again in September on the way to PEI.
ReplyDeleteLoved all of these. The video of the dancing couple made me laugh. That looks exhausting directing traffic like that. I wonder how long he can keep that up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful reminder. Gratitude and emotional independence truly pave the way to happiness, just like those sweet donkeys who made your photo moment so special
ReplyDeleteHello, Linda
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your post, the inspiring words to live by.
The tree fainted is cute and I love the flowers and the donkeys.
Take care, enjoy your day and have a great week!
I love your photos, especially the co-operating donkeys!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Lovely inspiring post-hoping you get rain soon-we had lots of rain and storms again last night
ReplyDeleteHappy new week
These are all great! Your flower photos are pretty and I adore the church in the snow.
ReplyDeleteYou find the best quotes! The fainting tree made me laugh and I love the donkeys too.
ReplyDeleteLots of pawsitive thoughts in this one and cute photos of those four-legged friends.
ReplyDeleteThe pink fuzzy tail blooms are so pretty...I think they could be in the Fire-tail family of flowers. Such cute memes and quotes and they make my reading for this Monday morning so fun!! Have a great Monday
ReplyDeleteI loved your photo of the sweet donkeys, Linda, and that Filipino policeman had me laughing out loud! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteMuy bellas palabras, que nos llevan a sentir la vida con optimismo... Positividad
ReplyDeleteA lovely post Linda, wise quotes and funnies too. I enjoyed your photos very much. I have always been very fond of donkeys. The church in the snow is gorgeous! I always need a refresher on flowers and your pink ones were on the edge of my mind there. I looked them up in my plant app and it said they were Plumed cockscomb, botanical name Celosia argentea. Thank you for the videos too, very entertaining. Happy day to you dear friend :)
ReplyDeleteHello again Linda, just popping back to thank you for helping me with the id on my post. Giving you a virtual hug and wishing you a wonderful day my dear friend.
DeleteYou find such a lovely selection of good quotes and delightful images and videos. They always make me smile. Thanks so much for starting my day off happily!
ReplyDeleteBoa tarde e uma excelente terça-feira, minha querida amiga. Cada frase e escolha tem um sentido muito importante.
ReplyDeleteYour selection is nice, good job.
ReplyDeleteGreetings.
Excelente segunda-feira. Responder amigos de fuso horários diferentes e que já estão em outro dia, é muito complicado. Grande abraço carioca.
ReplyDeleteHello, Linda, thank you for this wonderful post! I really enjoyed it and fell in love with the donkeys, the flowers and the little church.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Utah.
Great saying and cute videos. Madeline
ReplyDeleteLinda so many wonderful things on your post...I found the video of the cop though the best. It certainly is wonderful to see someone make the most of their job. Maybe he will be discovered by a talent program. Hope you have a blessed day. Adore that beautiful painting of the girl with the flute. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to walk into a tango 😍🎶
ReplyDeleteSuch cute photos and wise quotes!!
ReplyDeleteLove the donkeys - adorable.
Give thanks for a little and a lot will come. I like that quote. Happy New Week.
ReplyDeleteReading and watching puts me in a good mood! Thank you! I wish you a good week!
ReplyDeletehugs Elke
Thanks!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe have (had rather, he's dead) a painter (Wyspiański) who painted children in a very similar style to Lucie Bilodeau's.
I really related to the 'don't let another person control your feelings' it's something I need to work on. Some people just rub me the wrong way and the struggle is real.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! That church is gorgeous! I love old churches.
ReplyDeleteDonkeys are so fun!! Thanks for the giggles and the good feelings! xo
ReplyDeleteThe tree fainted, the best!
ReplyDeleteEmpezar con el arte de Lucie Bilodeau y el mensaje de “Regala vida. Adopta, no compres” del Rescate Nacional de Perros de Molino es un gesto tan tierno y poderoso. ¡Qué bonito recordatorio de la importancia de dar amor a los animalitos que nos necesitan! Y las palabras de positividad de Roy N. Williams, “La felicidad es una elección y es gratis”, son como un abrazo cálido al alma, un susurro dulce que nos invita a sonreír incluso en un lunes. Tus palabras, fotos y videos son como un abrazo grande y luminoso que nos recuerda no dejar que la tristeza del lunes nos gane.
ReplyDeleteAbrazos, Linda.
Those were all fun memes, I enjoyed them all. Hey, I love donkeys too!
ReplyDeleteThe global whining one was great! and the insulting one is one I have been (so far successfully) wrestling with tonight...
ReplyDeleteLove all the kitty pictures :). That second plant is pretty cool, I have never seen aything like it. The church in the snow is a lovely picture. So good when you can go to work and enjoy yourself and bring happiness to others :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice way to start the week! Thanks for the smiles!
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of water and that fountain is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI like donkeys too! 🫏
ReplyDeleteHave a good week ahead 🌞☀️
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pictures 🖼️😊
The donkeys might have been hoping you had treats for them.
ReplyDeleteSo many good ones this time, Linda. The church in Montreal is especially beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely collection of sayings, pictures, and videos. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteVisiting you always makes my day better, lot's of smiles x
ReplyDeleteBardzo ciekawe zdjęcia i cytaty.
ReplyDeleteFontanna zrobiła na mnie największe wrażenie, bo szum wody zawsze działa na mnie bardzo kojąco!
Pozdrawiam.
i love donkeys too.... and i did adopt a dog but it did not go so well lately!!
ReplyDeleteMolto bello il tuo blog complimenti e grazie per il tuo commento, un abbraccio Angelo.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I love it :)
ReplyDeleteLinda, My wife and I love donkeys too! They are curious and smart. As for that gag in Montreal, I wouldn't want to try it in New York City and a number of other big US cities. It might prove dangerous. No dogs as they demand too much attention and they can't be left alone for very long. Furry travel restriction! Cats are better but then again, half of our family is allergic to them and family visits would be cancelled. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteLove the videos always make me smile a good start of the day!
ReplyDeleteJust love the tango video. Years ago I had tango lessons so I might have been tempted to start dancing with the man.
ReplyDeleteYes, laughter is the shortest distance between people. The world takes itself too seriously these days. God bless always.
ReplyDeleteDziękuję za miły i wesoły wpis. 😃 Miłego dnia życzę.
ReplyDeleteLove the traffic cop :) His attitude speaks for his character. He must be a nice and friendly person.
ReplyDeleteLovely post of photos and quotes ~ love the little girl and the donkeys ~ all great ~ thanks,
ReplyDeleteWishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

Optymistyczny i pozytywny przekaż, chętnie tu będę zagldala 😁
ReplyDeleteHi, Linda,
ReplyDeleteI was daydreaming today of Canada. I would love to visit it one day! It's such a beautiful country, and you have some amazing lighthouses in it ;) (I am really passionate about them).
"Thank goodness you are here, the tree fainted" made me laugh out loud :)
Best wishes from Ireland :)
Querida amiga, me encanto tu blog, los videos, imágenes y citas.
ReplyDeleteMuy optimista y con buen humor, es un placer seguirte.
