A world filled with so many opportunities should never be able to make you feel disappointed. One closed door makes way for another one to open. Never lose hope. Good morning to you.

These last four photos are my own that I took here in Montreal in 2013. You can click on each image to see a larger view.


I took this photo at the Old Port of Montreal, Vieux Port de Montreal in French.



I took this photo by the water, at a time when the waters became high in the Spring...after the snow melted.



This is a photo I took of a groundhog peeking out at me. I added a quotation to it.
The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it. - Richard Bach


This is a very short video done here in Montreal by the Just for Laughs group. It is a Just for Laughs Gag, Just pour Rire in French. Enjoy!


I am posting one extra very short video for you today. No matter what language you speak, this is a video that you will understand what is happening. This is of a German lady weather reporter who sees someone appear on her weather screen that wasn't supposed to be there.  Her laughter is infectious! Enjoy!

  1. These are all so good and such fun too. I appreciate you sharing them with us to make us think and smile. Love the moose in the pool. When we lived in the Ocala National Forest we had bears come and get in our very tiny kiddie pool and sit down and take a bath. They were so much fun to watch. Even God's wild creatures love to cool down and have some fun too! I hope you have a lovely week.

  5. I like them all - but I really like "Expect nothing. Appreciate everything." How true is that?

    ReplyDelete
  6. I love your groundhog photo! And I never thought of worrying as betting against yourself, that idea needs some thought. The quote with the vivid blue bird and background is gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete

    The videos are good, loved them both and I started laughing with the weather lady :)

  38. ¡Qué entrada tan vibrante y llena de inspiración para comenzar junio con el pie derecho! Me encanta la selección de frases que compartes, cada una con un mensaje poderoso y motivador que invita a la reflexión y a mantener una perspectiva positiva ante los retos de la vida. Las fotos de Montreal que tomaste en 2013 son preciosas, especialmente la de la marmota con esa cita tan encantadora de Richard Bach, ¡qué toque tan especial! El Viejo Puerto y las vistas junto al agua transmiten una calma nostálgica que contrasta maravillosamente con la energía de tus palabras. Además, los videos que compartes suenan súper divertidos, ¡la risa de esa reportera meteorológica seguro que saca una sonrisa a cualquiera! Gracias por regalarnos este recopilatorio tan alegre y por recordarnos que, incluso en un mundo lleno de subidas y bajadas, siempre hay espacio para la esperanza, la autenticidad y los momentos encantadores. ¡Sigue brillando con tus publicaciones!
    Abrazos, Linda.
