                         Sketches in Stillness


Your anger? It's telling you where you feel powerless. Your anxiety? It's telling you that something in your life is off balance. Your fear? It's telling you what you care about. Your apathy? It's telling you where you're overextended and burnt out. Your feelings aren't random, they are messengers. And if you want to get anywhere, you need to be able to let them speak to you, and tell you what you really need. - Brianna West

Happiness (more often than not) comes from giving, not getting.

                           Karen Salmansohn


Loving and respecting others means allowing them to be themselves. When you stop expecting people to be a certain way, you can begin to appreciate them. Pay close attention, and respect people for who they are and not for who you want them to be.

                             Di Riseborough


Your actions define you even if people decline you. - Jeffrey Benjamin

                        Breakthrough Training


Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach. - Tony Robbins

                           Daily Bright Side


Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause the most inconvenience. - Pam Brown  :)

                            Great Pet Living


The fears we cannot conquer become barriers to our happiness.

                         Karen Salmansohn


We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give. - Sir Winston Churchill


Cherish those who you have in your life because you never know when they won't be around anymore.

      Lessons Learned in Life


Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use. - Emily Post

                           Character Council


Take care, be kind, be considerate of other people and other species, and be loving. - John Lithgow
Courtesy. Pass it On. The Foundation for a Better Life


Goodness is the only investment that never fails. - Henry David Thoreau

While seasons change may true friends remain your constant.
                             Buddha Doodles


The problem with the stigma around mental health is really about the stories that we tell ourselves as a society. - Matthew Quick
Mental Health @ Home


There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life more beautiful for others. - Mandy Hale
Randy Frazier


The following are my own photos, taken on my cell phone on a gorgeous day here in Montreal. These particular photos are in front of a Montreal Library. You can click on each image to see a larger view.











I will continue this series of photos in my next post! The last photo you are seeing is part of a large mural outside of this Montreal Library. There were many parts to this mural, plus there were a couple of other murals.


This is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy!

  1. I think I have been in a "sit still and watch the leaves turn" mood rather than the "sort that mess on the dining room table mood" lol.

  7. Very wise cats. Yes, they can work out the exact place for their luxurious sleep. My cat often chooses my printertop while I'm working on my laptop.
    You have some amazing pics here too.

  8. Good morning Linda. I simply love all the posters and quotes you shared here today. They simply struck a chord in my heart. And the cap napping on the laptop makes me smile, it simply knows the best spot to sleep. And all the photos you took yourself on your cell phone look lovely and so colourful. I like the red tables and red chairs. Have a good week ahead. It is raining cats and dogs over at SG now. Wonderful weather to sleep in and it does make me feel lazy.
