You know those snowglobes, that you shake up, and the snow's everywhere, blocking the view of the scenery inside? That blizzardy snowglobe is your mind during stress. If you want to see the world clearly, you must allow that snow to settle. You can do this by taking time to 1. Meditate or 2. Breathe

Good morning, Linda! I love all the quotes. The one about the snowglobe is so so true! I cannot think straight when I am stressed and panicky. And this one "In Ancient Egypt, cats were considered gods...cats have not forgotten this" any cat owner will agree. LOL! Love your photo of nature - the river, trees and ducks.
Great advice on most of your shares, I do believe the one about the cats feeling they are special, our boys feel that way :) Wow those murals are wonderful, so amazing to me that people can work on such big buildings.
