Health, Wellness, Outlook and Environment, and I can speak French

 Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to you all! Thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate the time you take to come here, and for your kind comments. 

Some of you have wondered if I speak French. Yes, I do! The translations on my blog are made by myself. I can understand French, speak French, and I also read and write in French. (my written French is not perfect, but definitely understood.)

Here are today's selections, which I hope will be a source of enjoyment and positivity for you!


At a time like this, it's so important to remember what really matters. To love those we love. To hold on to each other. Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love, and we need miracles now. - Marianne Williamson

It's your outlook on life that counts. If you take yourself lightly and don't take yourself too seriously, pretty soon you can find the humor in our everyday lives. And sometimes it can be a lifesaver. - Betty White



She found joy and wonder in every little thing. And joy and wonder always found her. - Katrina Mayer

Let's design our lifestyle in a way that helps protect and restore our environment. The happier the planet Earth, the happier we'll be.

Every experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within it a blessing of some kind. The goal is to find it.
                                Unknown

The sun is a daily reminder that we too can rise again from the darkness, that we too can shine our own light. - Sara Ajna

Mental health is just as important as physical health.

                           Enchanting Minds


If we pollute the air, water and soil that keep us alive and well, and destroy the biodiversity that allows natural systems to function, no amount of money will save us. - David Suzuki


I am just so very grateful this very second just to be able to see, just to be able to breathe, to be able to walk, to hear, to love, to live. Enjoy, every second is a precious gift!
                         Sketches in Stillness


Always remember...a few tears in your tutu can't stop you from dancing. - Jane Lee Logan
                     Princess Sassy Pants & Co.


Sometimes, you need to burn bridges to stop yourself from crossing them again.
                             Spirit Science


Dance before the music is over. Live before your life is over.
                            Positive Energy+


People are not going to care about animal conservation unless they think that animals are worthwhile. - David Attenborough


Today's teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows. - Ricky Nelson

Anger is fake power. We don't actually control anyone with our anger. When we choose to use anger, it ends up controlling us. - Danny Lee Silk

Sometimes you have to be strong when you feel like giving up, have to fight when you just want to run away. Because sometimes that is all you can do to keep going.
                             Di Riseborough


I am sorry if you've heard otherwise, but the truth is, you are not at all difficult to love.
                              The Latest Kate


Reflect upon your blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. - Charles Dickens
                            A Bountiful Love


When you feel insecure, insignificant, little and unknown, remember that everything that's big, started from being small. Strive hard and someday, you too, can be a somebody. - Dimas Chiviri
                          Bedeempled Brain


Not a single creature deserves to be mistreated or abused. Not a one. - Anthony Douglas Williams

The following are my own photos, which I took this month on my cellphone. You can click on any image to see a larger view. Dollarama, a Canadian store, is a favourite of mine. 


Tigre Geant (Giant Tiger in English) This is another of my favourite stores. This store is also Canadian.


This is a front seat siege reserve (reserved seat...there are around 3 of them near the front of the bus) on a Montreal bus. Again, as I have mentioned in my previous posts, in Quebec, French is always first, and the text is always larger. English is beneath the French description, in a smaller text. This is to alert the public that these seats are predominantly for handicapped people or a pregnant woman. Someone with a walker or cane, for example, or who may be using crutches. As well, note the picture with the dog. This could be a blind person or anyone that has a working dog.

This is a telephone booth that is a replica of the ones in England...as far as I know. What is unique about this is that this particular model is the only one in Quebec, as far as I know! This is situated in the Town of Mount Royal.

The following photos are ones I took on a walk in a park in August.

  6. Betty White was so right...It's your attitude to life that makes the difference.
    I wish we had a Giant Tiger store locally. It sounds like they have great deals.

  8. I loved that Purina Cat Cjow commercial! Thank you for all of the really deep and inspiring quotes. I read them all with a pause of reflection after each.

  9. The cat food commercial was incredibly corny, but I think probably effective advertising at the time.
    I like the 'don't let tears in your tutu stop you from dancing'.
    The motorists seem very baffled by the cop with the shield. If it was the country to your south, they would probably be terrified.
