A very warm welcome to you all! Thank you so much for taking the time to come and visit me here! I really appreciate it!
Here are today's selections, which I hope will add some brightness to your day.
As the sun sets, cool cats awaken in the secrets of the night.
In a world of noise, a cat's purr is the gentlest reminder that peace still exists.
Give your baggage to the strength that lies within instead of trying to carry them yourself...and amazingly, they will tend to get lost in transit.
So many people love you. Don't focus on the people who don't.
When you let go of grudges, your hands are free to hold more blessings!
You carry all the ingredients to turn your existence into you. Mix them, mix them! - Hafiz
Don't you dare shrink yourself for someone else's comfort. Do not become small for people who refuse to grow.
Every time you eat or drink, you are either feeding disease or fighting it. - Heather Morgan
Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels! - Anonymous
I've found that with depression, one of the most important things you could realize is that you're not alone. - Dwayne Johnson
I'm thankful for everything! I'm thankful for fuzzy blankets. I'm also thankful that I can live in a home with my family. And I'm thankful for coloring books. -
If you are cold, tea will warm you; if you are too heated, it will cool you; if you are depressed, it will cheer you' if you are excited, it will calm you. - William Ewart Gladstone
No matter how bad you feel, remember: you are stronger than you think.
A gentle word, a kind look, a good natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles. - William Hazlitt
Food is to health what medicine is to sickness. For a better tomorrow, make your food healthy enough to be your medicine. - Hippocrates
Stressed, who's stressed? I'm not stressed. :)
Purring cat...healing sleep therapy
Sometimes all the therapy you need is a comfy couch, a cup of tea and the sound of your cat purring nearby.
Life is like a cup of tea, it's all in how you make it.
There is great freedom in simplicity. It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest.
I've seen better days, but I've also seen worse. I don't have everything that I want, but I do have all I need. I woke up with some aches and pains, but I woke up. My life may not be perfect, but I am blessed.
Happy Halloween!!!
Good evening. Sleep well. God bless you.

ReplyDeleteAs usual, you've shared a lot of wisdom!
I must've missed the birthday post. Happy Belated Birthday! I loved all of these, especially the TEA ones and the CAT ones. I'm a "tea-totaller", (I love tea), and I'm learning to love having two porch kitties in my life. They are so sweet. I've never been a cat person before, so this is a new experience for me. Thank you for your positive posts. They are a joy and blessing, as are you!
ReplyDeleteSiempre es lindo estar rodeado de animales ellos dan paz y alegría. te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun and I love the cats!!
ReplyDeleteLove that drawing of a stressed-out cat.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the kitties tonight. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteYour sky is such an intense blue! And the leaves are beautiful. Of course my favorites are the cat ones. Also the one about concentrating on the ones who love you, not the ones who don't.
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteGoodness you work hard on this blog!
ReplyDeleteI like -
SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE YOU. DON'T FORCUS ON THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T!
And the one where every time you feed yourself you are healing or hurting yourself - something like that.
Love your weather and scenery.
Love that rockabilly jive boogie woogie video! Holy Moly! You go, Dietmar and Nellia!
ReplyDeleteSo the seasons change, as evidenced by your photos.
ReplyDeletePinocchio was funny.
Happy Belated Birthday on your 69th..
ReplyDeleteThank for all the word you sharing here.. 👍🏻☺️
Oh those purring furry animals.
ReplyDeleteHow peaceful they look 🐈
Pretty pictures and wise thoughts 🍓
My favourite this time is the Thanksgiving picture and what it says there: "I'm thankful for everything! I'm thankful for fuzzy blankets. I'm also thankful that I can live in a home with my family. And I'm thankful for coloring books. " 🧡
Also the Earl Grey picture is nice and inviting 🤎🧡💛

Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteyou have compiled a wonderful collection of humorous and inspiring quotes. I enjoyed all of them.
Have a spooky Halloween :))
Your Autumn photos of the changing leaves are gorgeous, Linda! I also love all your kitty memes and got such a kick out of the older couple cutting the rug. So cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such a warm and thoughtful post! I really enjoyed the mix of inspiring quotes, personal reflections, and your photos from Montreal. It’s comforting to be reminded of the simple joys in life, like a cup of tea or the sound of a purring cat. Wishing you continued happiness and health, and looking forward to reading more of your posts!
ReplyDeleteThe kitties melt my heart.
ReplyDeleteNot only with depression, in my opinion, with all psychical problems it's good to know you are not alone.
ReplyDeleteToday I had the second (and last) interview and I got admitted to tne day psychic ward for treating personality disorders. I will start somewhere around tje middle of December. I am very glad to be able to work on my problems.
I loved the "young" couple dancing ;)
ReplyDeleteThe cat song ias on point! I knew they were like that!
The puppet gag would've left me like "What voodoo is this" :)
Cat's purrs sure are a healing sound!
Have a wonderful weekend!
I hope your birthday week was wonderful for you, Linda. There is something so peaceful about a kitten purr. I just love them.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeletestress is just a disaster for our life. All of your posts give us a chance to fight it, to avoid it.
My best regards, my dear for a good night.
There is some very good advice in today's selections. I love the colors in your Montreal trees and the skies look so clear. Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteNice post with all funny creations and details.
Nice the autumn pictures and nice cats.
The movies are very funny.
Many greetings,
Marco
I saw these pictures of the blue sky a while ago, here in northern Germany too. Just blue, way up high, deep blue, with just a hint of cloud cover – very majestic, very promising. A flock of cranes was milling about high above, seemingly in no hurry to move on.
ReplyDeletegreetings from Christiane
Pretty fall photos.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy the quotes along with the pictures.
Life is like a cup of tea. It is all in how you make it ! So very true.
ReplyDeleteHere's to a terrific birthday week, Linda! May it be joyful!
ReplyDeleteNice, Linda, the gag as well! Thanks for letting me smile!
ReplyDeleteLie(f)s.
Wonderful photos Linda. And loving the quotes. All the cats are great and nothing better than a purring cat :-D
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, sending you my warmest greetings and wishing you plenty of bright, joyful days ahead! Your post, as always, made me smile — it’s such a lovely feeling when your words bring a little sunshine into the day. My health is slowly improving; thankfully, it’s not getting any worse, which already feels like a small victory. Sending you lots of warmth, gratitude, and positive thoughts!
ReplyDeleteOoooo that blue sky, I love that you took a photo of the sky, simple and beautiful, I just love it. I also like all the quotes, many spoke to me today.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course your autumn leaves.
Love, Carla
As usual, the cat ones are my favorites. Even when my boy wreaks havoc - he's good at that - I may roll my eyes for a bit, maybe even curse, but then he snuggles up - he's really good at that! - and all is forgiven ;-)
ReplyDeleteMuch wise advice...and beautiful leaves..and cats!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are all so good and wise, just like kitties!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
ReplyDeleteWooden by trick was really weird. I wonder who thinks all these pranks up--lol!
The second phone--first one on the above shelf--huge black one without a big dial was the kind my grandparents had for their party line when I was a kid. Weird to see one after all these decades. :)
Hello Linda
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your lovely thoughts and good wishes for me on the low carb diabetic blog.
Belated Happy Birthday Wishes to you.
I enjoyed your post and loved the jive, aren't they wonderful ... my feet were tapping to the music :)
Enjoy what's left of October and have a happy November.
All the best Jan
Oh my, that cat song - wonderful! There is a lot of thruth in those words. I have never "owned" a cat in my life, but there have been several cats in my life who just came to me. They still do.
ReplyDeleteOh, and happy belated birthday!
ReplyDelete🍂🍁🧡🎃🍂🍁🧡🎃Happy Halloween, dear Linda🎃👻🍬😘😘😘🌹🎃👻🍬😘😘😘🌹🎃👻🍬
ReplyDeleteMay your Halloween be wrapped in mystery, sprinkled with fun, and filled with laughter that echoes under the moon.

ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween! 🎃
I love cats.
Happy Halloween , Linda. It certainly looks like Fall in your neighborhood. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteDear friend Linda, I try to keep it short, an essence, so to say: You help me big and weee.. I by accident just had my neighbor´s address in my last comment! I don´t want you all come here and ring her bell ;-)
ReplyDeleteTo blogging, to friendship, I cherish this all, much love and hugs on the way!
Auguri per il tuo compleanno !! Bellissime e interessanti le tue vignette. Apprezzo molto i tuoi consigli. Happy Halloween !! Saluti

Ah Linda - Happy belated birthday - we most certainly are of the same vintage...I will be 69 in a few weeks too. Adore the quote "Life is like a cup of tea, its all in how you make it." Yes a cat's purr is certainly the most peaceful of sounds. Have a lovely weekend friend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGood evening. Sleep well. God bless you. Great picture and text. Perfect for the fall season.

ReplyDeleteOi Linda! Em primeiro lugar meus parabéns pela passagem de seu aniversário, muita saúde, paz e felicidades para você! Você é escorpiana! Você sabe que adoro seus posts, as fotos do outono estão lindas, gosto muito desta estação. Eu estou aprendendo a gostar de chás, mas ainda prefiro café, e como você, adoro os animais e também a alimentação saudável, nós somos o que comemos! Beijos nas bochechas! 💕
ReplyDeleteYour kitties here today made me smile but if you lived on our street you would know that when the sun sets the cats prowl and peace certainly doesn't exist. Have a good weekend. Hugs Angela x
ReplyDeleteThese are great.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all the cats purring ones :).
ReplyDeleteLove all the leaf pictures. Happy Autumn!
Wow, that couple can Boogie Woogie, Linda! I couldn't do that in my Glory Days. I loved your autumn leave and blue skies. I hope that you've had a great week. My eyes are glued to the tv watching the Blue Jays and Dodgers. I'd really like Canada to win tonight. Have an awesome weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday! I pray that your year is full of love, peace, and joy. Thanks for your kind words on my blog!
ReplyDeleteHappy November! May your November be a happy one. May your weekend be a happy one too. :)

What a soul-soothing collection of wisdom, warmth, and whiskers. Each quote feels like a gentle nudge toward self-compassion, and the way you’ve woven together reflections on healing, nourishment, and feline serenity is simply beautiful. The imagery of cats as nighttime guardians and purring therapists is especially comforting. Your photos and video picks add such a personal, joyful touch—Montreal looks magical through your lens. This post is a true balm for the spirit.
ReplyDeleteMoc krásné. Kočičky milujeme.
ReplyDeleteBless you for always posting uplifting posts, Linda. Have a wonderful November!
