Here are today's selections, which I hope will bring a smile to your day!
When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live in peace with others. - Peace Pilgrim
A little bird told me that little things can be big things.
If you've done the very best you can, worrying won't make it any better. - Walt Disney
Please try to be on your own side today.
"Letting go can be so hard sometimes." said the boy. "To let go does not mean to get rid of" said the tree. "To let go means to let be. When we let be with compassion, things come and go on their own."
Sketches in Stillness
Sometimes we subconsciously do and say things to push people away. Why? Because we're afraid to get close and potentially get hurt. Unfortunately if we can't trust, if we can't be vulnerable then we can't find love or happiness.
Karen Salmansohn
Out beyond ideas of rightdoing and wrongdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there. - Rumi
Life has seasons. Some are heavy, where you feel like giving up, and some are so happy you wish they'd never end. But nothing stays forever - time always moves. So be present, feel it all, and let each moment, good or bad, simply pass through you. - Cahleen Coleske
Finding joy is pretty hard to do if you are always chasing after the next big thing without appreciating where you are in the present. - Laura Trevey
Bad days do not erase your progress.
Happiness is the highest form of health. - Dalai Lama
You may not be able to change yesterday, but what you do today could change tomorrow.
Remember to take care of yourself. Sometimes you get so busy taking care of others that you forget that you are important too.
Life is much better when you are living in the present moment.
When we clear the physical clutter from our lives, we literally make way for inspiration and good orderly direction to enter. - Julia Cameron
Hard truth: if you wait until you feel better to start living, you might be waiting forever. Go live your life. Do it sad. Do it anxious. Do it uncertain. Because healing doesn't always come before the experience. Sometimes, the experience is what heals you. - Unknown
You know you're Canadian when someone steps on your foot by accident and you apologize. :)
Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action. - Walter Anderson
Gratitude is the music of the heart. When its chords are swept by the breeze of kindness. - Unknown
Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. - Ralph Marston
Stop being so hard on yourself for not having it 'right'. A healing journey is more than a mindset. - Estelle Bonacelo
Good morning. May this Thursday bring you success, happiness and abundant blessings. Stay positive and embrace the day with gratitude.

I like that Disney quote! I also like the old Purina ad, takes me back!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteGratitude does make one's heart sing.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I’ll take the buggy cactus message and the one about bad days not raising progress.
ReplyDeleteOutside the Library they have pretty flowers and very cute murals. The one hear has a little game you can play up the walk to the library, so fun when they do stuff like that for kids and families.
ReplyDeleteLife is always more fulfilling when we don't look forward or behind, but meet each moment in the present with eyes of wonder and delight, Linda. I so loved all your inspirational memes and wondered, too, if you all in Canada have a comparable joke to our "Why did the chicken cross the road?" when it comes to Canadian geese? Thank you for this timely inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi Martha, thank you so much. 😊 To my knowledge we don't have a comparable joke for Canada geese.
DeleteThe murals and flowers outside the library are wonderful and so colorful, what a beautiful sight and I am glad you managed to take photos and shared them.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delightful dear friend! :) Thank you for all the smiles!
ReplyDeleteWill watch the videos later on my laptop later when I am working from home.
ReplyDeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteLinda, me alegra leer todos estos mensajes tan positivos y edificantes.
ReplyDeleteLas fotografías son muy bonitas, gracias por compartir y dejar esa sensación de serenidad al leerte.
Muchas gracias por visitar mi blog, Gratos días venideros.
I always love those Purrs of Wisdom!!
ReplyDeleteI can´t wait for peace, dear friend Linda. A steady job and I´ll be all settled. Right now I am so stressed out, the cat is my pic for today! 😻 Wise pic with the cactus! And yes.life has seasons... Many wise words, many I´ve lived through, but oh, the foot-stepping, LOL
ReplyDeleteI will "Stay positive and embrace the day with gratitude" - thank you, Linda! Have a great day, too! 🥰
That library is wonderful.
LOL, that man would freak me out,think I´d call the ambulance,LOL. And those geese! Much love and warm hugs from here 🤗
As always I enjoyed your quotes :) But oh dear, those Canada geese steal the show.
ReplyDeleteYour photos in front of the library are absolutely adorable, and these drawings have such wonderful meaning!!!
ReplyDeleteAll the good quotes with pictures are so profound, they do my heart so much good, thank you for that! The videos also make you laugh!
warms hugs Elke
Hi Linda, had watched all the 4 videos. The Gag Video really makes me laugh non-stop, the old man is so funny, one of the funniest. The public was stunned and some are even worried that something had happened to the old man! And the Canadian geese, it would be scary to see so many geese at one time.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your post, so full of positivity and wisdom. The photos are wonderful too!
ReplyDeleteGuess what? I like this the most "Bad days do not erase your progress."
ReplyDeleteLovely memes, and Walt Disney always came up with good ones, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThe photos outside the library are pretty, the flowers.
Just for laughs is a scream :), the geese do demand the road crossing, bless them. The old ad is nice to see too.
Hallo Linda, danke für Deinen Besuch in meinem Drosselgartenblog, ich freue mich über Deinen netten Kommentar.
ReplyDeleteDie Lebensweisheiten sind so positiv und hilfreich und tun der Seele gut. Auch so schön, dass die Petunien vor der Bibliothek noch blühen. Hier in Ostfriesland ist der Herbst eingekehrt.
Liebe Grüße nach Canada.
Traudi.
Linda, the photos you took with your phone are so colorful and cheerful! Wow! There are so many Canada geese. They can even stop traffic. LOL! The Purina ad is so cute and made me smile. I love all the quotes, they are so so true. One of them gives me the impression that Canadians are super polite!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteLove your inspiring posts. So many great quotes and the murals are colorful and pretty. Wishing you a happy day.
A great selection of quotes. Thanx Linda.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Love the one that says try and be on your own side today.
ReplyDeleteThat is one colorful library. What a fun one to visit.
Some of the ones you shared to day area really profound and valuable. I like the one with the cactus - so true. I always find so much inspiration in your quotes. Love the photos too.
ReplyDeleteYou know you’re Canadian when someone accidentally steps on your foot and you say sorry. :)
ReplyDeleteLindo, I’d like to know if that’s true?
Besides, I found so many wise things here, but if I had to stand behind one, it would probably be this:
Hard truth: If you wait until you feel better to start living, you may end up waiting forever. Go and live your life. Do it with sadness. Do it with fear. Do it with uncertainty. Because healing doesn’t always come before the experience. Sometimes the experience is what heals you.
The photos in front of the library are beautiful!
Hello Linda,
ReplyDeleteKaren Salmansohn is always right. I like her quotes.
Great video of the Canadian geese :-)
The apology thing is from your English heritage. It is here too. Someone barges around a corner and runs into you, and you say sorry.
ReplyDeleteI like the one about being Canadian. The one I saw that made me chuckle is that we say thank you to the ATM.
ReplyDeleteAnother great post.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed it.
Walt Disney was a wise man indeed great quote. Great photos as well :-D
ReplyDeleteGood morning Linda, thanks for letting me know about Jardin Panda restaurant. The items in the menu look good but I think I will need to ask the restaurant staff in details about the ingredients used as they may be different to decide what I want to eat from the menu.
ReplyDeleteThe mural paintings around Montreal Library are so colourful. I like them as I like colourful items. Have a terrific Thursday 💓☺️
ReplyDeleteGracias, Linda, por tan hermosos consejos a través de citas e ilustraciones, así como también por esos simpáticos vídeos.
ReplyDeleteHe disfrutado de un rato muy agradable leyéndote.
Un cordial saludo.
I've apologized for things not of my making.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, as always! Hugs ♥️

ReplyDeleteYour posts are always like a breath of fresh air. Your photos are beautiful too – Montreal looks wonderful through your eyes.
