The following photos are my own, which I took on my walks here in Montreal...on my cell phone. You can click on each image to see a larger view.
These two are of a building mural, which I took in two parts, because it was a big one.
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal! Enjoy! :)
A Pig by the name of Chris P. Bacon (news anchor laughs hysterically as he tries to tell this story on the air) :)
A very beautiful and inspiring Budweiser TV ad...making a dream come true! :)
El Condor Pasa - Leo Rojas (beautiful pan flute music with gorgeous scenic nature views)

Wow, many wonderful quotes, especially like the ones for us to think about what we say and think, and to always be considerate of others, what a wonderful world we would have it that were the case :) It is amazing how they can do such big murals!
All very wise quotes! I go to my happy place too every evening and I look forward to it hee..hee... but sometimes it is hard to fall asleep. I had to google what is poutine and it sounds delicious. Anything with potatoes in it is tasty!
Oh, some really good ones today. I especially like the “Two things to remember in life: take care of your thoughts when you are alone and take care of your words when you are with people”, which is so important.
Despite all the bad days and mean people, I still believe in good days and kind people. Plus there are always cats. Ahhh, this quote I like the most. Unfortunately I had encountered mean people before with toxic and hurting comments, I choose to smile and walk away. Why get angry over them, they mean to make you unhappy so all the more you should ignore them. And those mean people, I bet they are unhappy people themselves.
What can I say about the last pan flute music video you shared? It is simply heavenly and like in a paradise when you listen to it. I like it so so so much. Thank you so much for sharing. It makes my morning wonderful.
So many cats and "interior design houses" quotes and posters. I love reading them and looking at them. And I like gratitude is riches and complaints is poverty. Complaints and not being contented opens the gate to suffering.
I especially like the "remember two things," and also the Marcus Aurelius one. It reminds me of a friend who would say, "When I'm perfect I will start criticising other people, but right now there are a a couple of little things I still need to work on."
Dear friend Linda, I like the shadow one very much! To good days and kind people - they luckily are the majority in my life! I need to sort out stuff (de facto tomorrow I put a "for free"-box outside). I learn I have to get rid off some "traits" I have, like making sounds when I think - my friend gets super annoyed and maybe others get, too. I am glad she tells me. So, yes, I want to be loves as I am - but I want to get better, too.... Just had a plum and now a paprika/pepper :-) And half a slice cheese bread. Quite a dog-lover´s mural! Moo!!! Oh, I would pet that cute cow! And ... I must link to your blog tomorrow, as I have Chris on, too! Ohhh, and may I take you Budweiser for Saturday Critters (linking to you)? Much love and hugs 🥰, it´s kinda warm here!

ReplyDeleteI see giant dogs in that mural but couldn't count exactly how many dogs.
Looks to be more than 4 dogs painted on that wall.

ReplyDeleteAnd the Gag Video. It is so funny looking at the facial reactions of the different passerbys. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteI'm keeping my fingers crossed for an "unclutter angel" to come to my house.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much to like about Canada, but poutine is not one of them.
ReplyDeleteI liked the twist in the prank.
"Going to my happy place" is so precious!
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring! The quote from Ruth E. Renkel on shadow and light is my favourite.
