    Have a beautiful day 💖

    PS - John Cleese is so funny!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Such wonderful wise advice in all of these!! Warm hugs right back to you!

  6. I especially like "Grow though what you go through." My version is "Stay curious and open to life. No matter what happens keep learning and growing. Find what you love and find a way to share it with others."

  7. Good evening, I enjoy your positive post-thank you

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  15. I just love the positivity in these posts, Linda. Xx

    ReplyDelete
  16. All good Linda. Memes, some are food for thought. Like the videos and watched them, the last one of Richard playing the piano is excellent, he always has a different take on music. I had his music album for piano.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Another wonderful collection of quotes. The squirrel made me smile :) There are signs of autumn here too. Happy Sunday, Linda ♥

    ReplyDelete
  18. That's really a great advice about decreasing stress. Lovely picture of the squirrel :-)
    Have a nice Sunday ☀

  22. Hello Linda,
    Love the quote and wise words. The image of the dogs on the bus is cute. I do enjoy the little things and all the beauty around me.
    Have a great day and happy week ahead.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Wonderful piece, thank you Linda for reminding me of this ballad. Hugs.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Thank you for the good thoughts and the picture of the dogs going to school is great :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. That squirrel could be the poster child for squirrels in every backyard. Sometimes I think I buy seed for the squirrels and with luck the birds get a little!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Another nice collection. I can picture Gibbs sitting on a bus so nicely. I think he would enjoy going to school though instead of being home alone all day while I work.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Another great post. Loved the videos. Have a blessed day.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Ein tolles Posting und all die Sprüche und ach Videos! Danke dir! Hab einen schönen Sonntag, hugs Elke

  29. I wish I could listen to Purrs of Wisdom... I am working real hard on it, dear friend Linda! My friend fK tells me so nearly daily, too...
    YES to Tiny Buddha! Less reactive is good advice, too. Anne Frank sure was ... an adult and wise in her child-body.
    Owwww.. I am the black cat, fK is the other. I am very thankful for ALL friendships, actually you are the grey one, too... The more I am afraid to fail.
    I really need to throw out some clothes I didn´t wear in over a year. Weeee, there would be room (working from home)...
    We married in Joondalup/Perth in summer. And... there was a rainbow! (very seldom).
    Yes. I have to work on my attitude... shining I can do, though 😁
    I did grow a lot! And need still to learn to destroy. Oh, and I so hope our Peanut (squirrel) is OK!
    You have some sense of humor there! And of course I know that piano-piece. Still sad I gave up playing...
    Thank you for all the advice!!! Warm hugs and much love to you, you help me big 🥰

  34. I had forgotten just how hysterical the Ministry of Funny Walks was, so I laughed all over again, Linda. And boy, did I need to laugh today! Blessings!

    ReplyDelete

  47. Hello again Linda
    I've just seen your previous post about the bus strike.
    I do hope it gets resolved quickly.

    All the best Jan

    ReplyDelete
  48. Good morning, Linda! The quote on not believing in every thought has given me comfort as I am worried about something work related. The dogs in a school bus made me laugh! And so did that cute squirrel with that cheeky look!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I always remember that a journey begins with just one step. May we always step in the right direction as we begin our many journeys.

    God bless.

    ReplyDelete

  51. The scenery in the cat poster #8 is so beautiful!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Thank you for posting all these positive, uplifting quotes and videos. I need to apply some of the advice in the quotes to myself. :)

  59. I liked the English dog training school the most.
    Best regards :)

    ReplyDelete
  60. A good prank.
    I never 'got' Monty Python. It seems so silly to me.
    My hairdresser friend in the 1980s trimmed Richard Clayderman's hair when Richard was staying opposite his Melbourne salon.

    ReplyDelete
  61. You don't say re squirrels. I saw them at my feeder yesterday, and in the evening, the food was ALL GONE!
    Nice inspirational quotes, as always.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Thank you so much for always including so many positive thoughts!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Nice photos and great quotes. Loving all the cats. That one about positive people is SOOOOO true! Too many people hold on and embrace those negative thoughts. Yup it's hard to let them go, but we manage and don't let them interfer with our life. :-D

    ReplyDelete
  64. I've been doing a lot of clutter cleaning lately and it's very uplifting.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I've started taking fall shots as well.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I adore the Purrs of Wisdom - "Don't believe every worried thought you have..." O if we humans would follow this advice. Your pictures are beautiful and the Ballad beautiful. I can see why you would adore this song. Have a wonderful day. Hugs!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Excelente post, Linda! Revi, com agrado, as imagens e as frases! Meu abraço, boa semana.

  72. Linda, o seu blog é maravilhoso!! Gosto muito dele!
    É parada obrigatória para quem quer relaxar, esquecer as preocupações da vida...
    As imagens de gatinhos com as mensagens são tocantes e eu reflito em cada uma delas.
    A igreja que você fotografou é muito bonita. Montreal é uma bela cidade. Você também iria adorar conhecer vitória, a minha cidade! Ela é uma ilha. No blog Natureza Capixaba eu falo mais de Vitória e dos meus passeios de bicicleta que tornaram-se a minha terapia.
    É maravilhosa essa interação, faz muito bem para a nossa saúde mental!!
    Obrigada querida Linda!!Maravilhosa semana!! :)))

    ReplyDelete
  75. What a wonderful set of comments and images Linda. I just love the dog school, wish more people would come up with that idea. Many years ago we had a Beagle who hated being left alone even for a short time. This would have been perfect for him. Thanks for your very kind comment, Diane

    ReplyDelete
  76. ¡Qué entrada tan encantadora y llena de luz!  Me ha gustado mucho  la selección de frases inspiradoras, cada una parece un pequeño rayo de sol para alegrar el día. La mezcla de pensamientos positivos, ronroneos de gatos y reflexiones profundas es simplemente perfecta. ¡Y esas fotos de Montreal en otoño!  Son una maravilla, capturan esa magia especial de la temporada. El toque del video de Juste pour Rire y la nostalgia de la Balada para Adeline me sacaron una gran sonrisa. Gracias por compartir tanto cariño y buenas vibras, ¡esta entrada es como un abrazo cálido! Sigue brillando y llenando el mundo de tu luz.
    Abrazos, Linda.

  86. So many wonderful quotes - 'Shine whatever the weather" ❤️❤️

    ReplyDelete
  87. I follow "Ruff and Puff" (it says the "original dog bus" in their bio) from Canada on IG. The seats look different, so I don't think it's this one.
    I think that's a great idea for a doggie daycare!

    ReplyDelete
  88. I'm very glad you found me again Linda! Thank you for so many quotes! I like it :-)

    ReplyDelete
  89. I don't know where you find them all, but they just seem to get better and better every week. I love the one about not being reactive, the dogs on the bus are so funny, but the squirrel really got me. We have bird feeders and those darn squirrels clean them out as fast as we fill them.. Have a great week.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Worried thoughts are inaccurate. That is practical and wise. Thank you Linda, for sharing.

  93. ...the trip is often better than the destination!

    ReplyDelete
  94. Good afternoon Linda, so many on here that I appreciated. I always love Princess Sassy Pants. She's just so cute with her positive attitude and skinny legs haha. De-cluttering and organizing is a good thing to do. We can give away things that we no longer want or need, and someone else gets to appreciate them for a while. Many of us have been doing that lately. I just gave away a bag myself. "He climbs highest" quote was delightful. I've always believed that we should help anyone who needs it, if we can. : )

    Happy Autumn to you, Linda.

  96. I feel like the dogs look just like students on a bus! Love it. Thanks for all the inspirational and positive memes~

    ReplyDelete
  97. Unas frases como siempre de gran contenido didáctico y belleza. La fachada de esa iglesia se me asemeja a alguna que he visto en algún lugar.
    Espero se halla resuelto la huelga de conductores de autobús, en este tipo de huelgas el usuario es quien sufre las consecuencias.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Oi Linda! Eu adorei ver os cachorrinhos sentados para ir pra escola! Kkkk...isso é muito fofo! Ser menos reativo realmente torna nossa vida mais tranquila, por que reagir se não podemos controlar o outro?
    Beijos nas bochechas! (❁´◡`❁)

  107. The Ministry of Silly Walks made us laugh! And I love the wise meme about not believing worried thoughts. I will do my best to commit that one to memory.

    ReplyDelete
  108. I guess I need to do some decluttering around my home :) I do know it is nice to have a clean home. Hope you are having a good week!

    ReplyDelete
  109. This post feels like a gentle exhale after a long day—so many comforting reminders and sweet visuals. The quote about mornings being for fresh starts and evenings for soft landings really resonated, and that squirrel photo added the perfect touch of whimsy. I especially loved the dog school image—what a heartwarming idea. Your blog is such a lovely blend of humor, hope, and kindness.

    ReplyDelete
  110. The autumn vibes are so cozy, and the humor from Monty Python never gets old...

    ReplyDelete
  111. Od lat uwielbiam Monty Pythona, więc bardzo dziękuję. Czas mija a ten angielski kabaret nadal aktualny i humor też. Jak zawsze wstawiłas piękne cytaty zdjęcia i muzykę. Ostatnio znalazłam piękną muzykę ludową Chin i Koreii. Cudownie się tego słucha. Życzę Ci dużo zdrowia Linda :) Buziaki ❤️
