Humour, Laughter, Kindness
Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to you all! Thank you so much for taking the time to come and visit me here! I really appreciate each and every one of you!
Here are today's picks, which I hope will brighten your day in some way.
The practice of staying present will heal you. Obsessing about how the future will turn out creates anxiety. Replaying broken scenarios from the past causes anger or sadness. Stay here, in the moment. - S. McNutt
I can smell autumn dancing in the breeze. The sweet chill of pumpkin and crisp sunburnt leaves. - Unknown
So often, children are punished for being human. They are not allowed to have grumpy moods, bad days, disrespectful tones or bad attitudes.
Yet, we adults have them all the time. None of us are perfect. We must stop holding our children to a higher standard of perfection than we can attain ourselves. - Rebecca Eanes
The following are my own photos which I took with my cellphone. These are little signs that you can put on your front door. You can click on each image to see a larger view.
These last photos are of more reusable shopping bags. The donkey and the bird ones were gifts. The donkey one was sent to me from an online friend that lives in England about 10 years ago! It is from a registered charity named Spana that help working animals! I love bags and tshirts from places that help and rescue animals!
These bags do not take up a lot of room because I have them neatly folded away and change from time to time depending on my need (size, for example), and mood. :)

Good evening Linda, how is your Sunday? I hope it is all cheery and bright π The little signs that can be put on front doors give out warm and fuzzy feelings. You must be a very neat and tidy person to fold your reusable bags to keep them carefully. I like how you choose your bags to use depending on your mood so that your friends would know about your mood by looking at the bags that you are using. Have a good sleep soon in 5 hours π π
So many good ones today, Linda. I like your bag collection too. I have so many reusable bags and I like getting new to me ones. If I find them at a yard sale, I make sure to look at all of them. My guilty pleasure. π
this did brighten my day...i feel happy and inspired!! i have heard about programs where inmates work with dogs, it's a marvelous idea, all the way around. i hope you had a nice weekend!!!

I think we ought to let kids be kids - we push them so hard to grow up.
I can tell how much you love animals. Are you a cat lover?
Oh, Linda, how I absolutely loved the video you shared about the prisoners loving on the cats! How can we hate anything when we take time to simply express love and caring? It changes this whole world for the better. Blessings!
Hello Linda's, I lived professionally in Ottawa (near Montreal) for two years. I really enjoyed living in the capital of your beautiful country. A very rich and creative post. I really enjoyed it! I'm already among your friends. Hugs from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!!!
As usual, so many good stuff. Quotes and pictures.Very lovely animals/nature shopping bags as gifts or own bought. Very thoughtful of your friends online or offline.
To staying in the moment, thank you for the reminder, dear friend Linda! And also thank you - your scar-quote made me think of my Mom. She believed in me in her harsh way back in the day ;-) LOL, be my favourite ;-) I once had to "translate" a whole train from American to British English... And then they lost the tender anyways! And yes, impress people by being kind! Lovely bags. And Oh! The Banana Boat Song!!!! Please, dear Linda, I must share this tomorrow! "Mum" had this on in the car back in the day! And to second chances... Warm hugs and much love sent your way π§‘

Of course I love the cat sign. And my favorites are from the tiny marshmallows and Buddah Doodles.

ReplyDeleteTe deseo una buena semana y si debemos cuidar a nuestros peludos. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteI went straight to Gags today because that is what I wanted to do. It didn’t do it for me tonight, but the cats did, so it’s all good. π
ReplyDeleteMy cats (and I) approve of this post!
