Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to you all! Thank you so much for taking the time to come a visit me here!
Monday, October 13th, is our Canadian Thanksgiving! For those who may not know this, the reason our Thanksgiving is earlier than our U.S. friends' and neighbours', is because our harvest is in October. Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadian friends and bloggers!
Here are today's selections, which I hope will bring some brightness to your day!
Women and cats will do as they please. And men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. :)
The true measure of our Thanksgiving is how we use our blessings and not how we count them...we are all blessed in some ways...Canadian Thanksgiving.
Life is a dance between making it happen and letting it happen. - Arianna Huffington

A book recommendation for all my friends and fellow bloggers who love cats as much as I do! This book was one I absolutely loved! "All My Patients are Under the Bed" by Dr. Louis J. Camuti, Veterinarian
Perhaps your local library has it...or can get it for you. I am not sure if it is still in print, but this is a very good book! :)
One of the greatest awakenings comes when you realize that not everybody changes. Some people never change. And that's their journey. It's not yours to try to fix them.
Radiate boundless love towards the entire world - above, below and across - unhindered, without ill will, without enmity. - Buddha
Training your mind to be in the present moment is the number one key to making healthier choices. - Susan Albers
A calm mind releases the most precious capacity a human being can have: the capacity to turn anger into compassion, fear into fearlessness and hatred into love.
Don't carry yesterday - you can't change it.
Don't stress tomorrow - it hasn't arrived yet.
Live today - this moment is your gift.
Worry adds nothing, but it will steal your joy, drain your peace and keep you spinning in circles.
Choose gratitude. Choose presence. Choose life.
Don't chase people. Be an example. Attract them. Work hard and be yourself. The people who belong in your life will come and find you and stay.

Canada...we are not Americans. Not everyone lives in an igloo. We do not bathe in maple syrup, but if we could we would. It's not winter 12 months a year. We have a goose named after us. It's O.K. to say "EH!" Not everyone has a pet polar bear. We think the mountie's uniform is stylish. The beaver is a cherished animal. The best country in the world since 1867. :)
Smile, it's free therapy. :)
Never trust your fears, they don't know your strengths.
Today's storms are tomorrow's rainbows.
Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!
Take a moment and remember that your mental health is a priority, your inner peace is essential and your self care is a necessity!
Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts. - Henri Frederic Amiel
Autumn leaves are Mother Nature's way of showing us that change can be beautiful and messy at the same time.
One day we will remember how lucky we were to have known their love, with wonder, not grief. - Elizabeth Postle
Just a cup or two so I can get a jump start on all the nuts I will have to deal with today. :)
I feel sorry for the people who don't have birds. I hear they need alarm clocks to wake up in the morning! :)
Tuck in those paws: it's time to scroll through dreams, not feeds. Good night. :)
The following photos are my own, which I took on my walks here in Montreal this month on my cellphone. You can click on any image to see a larger view.
These last three photos are of one of my jackets. It has a zipper enclosure in the front. The material is polar fleece and I love it! You will notice that it also has a hood. I purchased this lovely jacket at Giant Tiger about 3 years ago for $35 (Canadian) dollars.
This is the back of the jacket.
This last photo is just to show what the material of the inside of the jacket looks like. It is comfortable and warm.
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal! Enjoy! :)

ReplyDeleteThat cage for the children scares me to death!
Love a kalimba. :)
Enjoy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! I've always thought you in Canada do it right. I feel like November is too late. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the one with the definition of Canada. I live in Michigan and people think some of those things about us too.
I think I'd like the cat vet book.
Happy Thanksgiving to you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI love the self help meme's the best.
But I love squirrels too.

Your coat looks warm - I don't even own a coat like that!
Love, sandie
If I didn't have my coffee in the morning, I could in no way face all the nuts and nutty situations that seem to come my way daily, Linda. I absolutely love your jacket - so warm and cozy. Happy Thanksgiving, my friend!
