Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to you all! Thank you so much for taking time to come and visit me here!
Here are today's picks, which I hope will brighten your day!
Don't let people pull you into their storm. Instead, pull them into your peace. - Karen Salmansohn
Just like you shouldn't go grocery shopping when starving, you should be careful looking for love when lonely. In both cases, you can wind up with unhealthy choices.
Karen Salmansohn
Happiness starts with you. Not with your relationship, not with your job, not with your money, but with you.
Keep your heart filled with gratitude...sprinkled with some sassitude. :)
The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly. - Anonymous
I dwell on positive thoughts.
One of the greatest things about life is that every time you think you won't get over something, you do.
You can't look at a sleeping cat and be tense. - Jane Pauley
If you only walk on sunny days you'll never reach your destination. - Paulo Coelho
Simplifying allows us to slow down enough to savor this life. - Emily Ley
I am not the words that were said to me. I am what I say to myself.
Just like bees collect nectar from each flower, gather inspiration from every moment of your day.
If you doubt you can accomplish something, then you can't accomplish it. You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through. - Rosalyn Carter
Life would be tragic if it weren't funny. - Stephen Hawking
Know that you are the perfect age. Each year is special and precious; for you shall only live it once.
Stop thinking too much, it's alright not to know all the answers. Sometimes there is no answer, not going to be any answer, never has been an answer. That's the answer! Just accept it, move on!
Leave it in God's hands.
Be kind to every kind, not just mankind. - Anthony Douglas Williams
The way I see it, every year can be a brand new journey. Think about it: you get one chance to be 25, 38, 44, 61, and every age before and between. Why wouldn't you want to experience all the wonder in each step on your path? - Oprah Winfrey
To ensure good health: eat lightly, breathe deeply, live moderately, cultivate cheerfulness and maintain an interest in life. - William London
The Good Body
Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been. :)
Cat's motto: no matter what you've done wrong, always try to make it look like the dog did it. :)
Stop making excuses. Tired? Sleep earlier! Out of shape? Exercise more! Don't have time? Quit watching TV! Don't have the money? Stop wasting it! Seems too complicated? Start small and try! Don't have the knowledge? Learn and read a book!
We all know what we need to do, but most people still don't do it, because it's hard to go out of your comfort zone, and it's easier to make excuses.
Try your best not to cry or go into a rage after someone criticizes you in the smallest way.
The following photos are my own, which I took here in Montreal on my walks earlier this month on my cellphone. You can click on any image to see a larger view.
These last photos are some more of the reusable shopping bags that I have. I do have many, but I have bought them in the last 5 years, as they are very handy to have! Some are small, some larger. Some people collect ornaments, dishes, cups, whatever...myself, I have these reusable shopping bags. :)
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy! :)

ReplyDeleteGood evening and good day ahead for me, Linda. I pick 3, number one, you can't look at a sleeping cat and be tense. So true!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit - I am a champion at making excuses!
ReplyDeleteNumber 2, I am not the words that were said to me, I am what I say to myself, ahhh, positive self talk! And last but not least, number 3 the one about wrinkles.
ReplyDeleteA positive post with good advice woven in!!
ReplyDeleteWise words from Karen Salmansohn.
ReplyDeleteVery good post
ReplyDeleteOh, Linda, that cardinal's encounter with this caring woman brought me to tears of joy. What a wonderful tribute to all living things that our Father has created for us to be responsible stewards and ambassadors of His good will toward all of His creations. Bless you, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThe cat's motto was my fave today!
ReplyDeletePurrs of Wisdom are the best :-)
ReplyDeleteYou must research a lot to find all these things.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite:
One of the greatest things about life is that every time you think you won't get over something, you do.
To sassitude! :-) And positive thoughts. Stephen Hawking sure was a wise, intelligent, brave, humorous man. I mean.. he even was in The Simpsons!
ReplyDeleteNice bags and so sweet and funny with the picture book! As the bird. Nice collection, thank you for the thoughts and smiles, warm hugs and much love to you, dear friend Linda.
Thinking positively is a great habit to develop. Your bag collection is very interesting. Hope your week is going well.

The northern cardinal, gives me an idea how big they are.
Monster Mash, well I'd forgotten that song, good to hear it again.
I also remember, Love is Blue.
Lovely shopping bags! And when it comes to happiness, in my case it comes from gratitude for everything God has created for us.
ReplyDeleteUn joli billet. Bonne journΓ©e
ReplyDeleteLinda, the flowers in the first photo (your own photo) looks like the flowers that I said is called "chicken poop flower" (LOL!). Your reusable bags are very nice especially the ones with cats!

ReplyDeleteYou have so many good ones today, Linda. I really like the “ Don't let people pull you into their storm” one. I prefer not to get pulled in too. I like your reusable shopping bags too. I keep a stash in my car for anytime I need one. I hope you have a wonderful Thursday!

Wonderful inspiration! I agree with Louise Hay. Loving your shopping bags, especially the kitty ones :)
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy reading them and there are always a few that I really need to read such as today- not the words that are said to you-it's the words you say to yourself. So many good ones. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteL'amour est bleu π How nice! One could SEE what instrument did what while listening.
ReplyDeleteLouise Hay, Oprah Winfrey, Stephen Hawking πΉπΉπΉ Wise quotes.
Love your shopping bags. Keep them coming πππ
It was interesting to equate grocery shopping to looking for love.
ReplyDeletevery nice!
ReplyDeleteSome great quotes/analogies there. I liked the first one about not letting people pull you into their storm. Words to live by right there!
ReplyDeleteMonster Mash is such a good song :-D And love your photos :-D These quotes are good. Cats are so relaxing. I was reading about the healing properties for humans when we have a purring cat on our lap! :-D
ReplyDeleteReally love that cardinal video, thanks very much for sharing it. We feed birds and our cardinals are quite the characters. They chirp to let us know if they need fresher water or more seeds. They get both, everyday!
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely posts to lift us up.
ReplyDeleteI giggled at the cat's motto: also act like you know nothing about what happened :)
The shopping bags are pretty!
Hello Linda. Here we have your lovely quotes, my dear friend. A bright sight for live, like the famous song.
ReplyDeleteMy best regards, my friend.
Thanks for more words of wisdom.
ReplyDeleteLots of good words. The flowers a pretty.
ReplyDeleteLoveeee
ReplyDeleteThat's nice.
ReplyDeleteGreetings.
That's so cute, the cardinal video. I remember the Monster Mash!
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, I like the photos of the flowers you took on your walks and also your resusable bags with sunflowers and πΊπ on them. Nice ππ
ReplyDeleteHello! Hello! Interesting post, very much. I like motivational quotes, I like L. L. Hay—I have all her books. Best regards, and I wish you a beautiful autumn.
ReplyDeletePS I have a white cat with coloring eyes. :)
This time most of the quotes fitted on me, and of course I love all cat photos. I used to collect cats and before I moved I had about 600, in all materials and sizes. Even now here in my room a have a shelf with some cats I brought with me.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty flowers you took.
ReplyDeleteMy reusable shopping bags are cloth Target bags--lol! Yours are much cuter.
Monster Mash came out when I was a kid. I googled it and 1962--I was eleven years old. All the songs with very specific dance moves were in those early 60s--the swim, the pony, mashed potato, the jerk, the twist...brought back sock hop memories from junior high. :)
Excuses, we all have them, don't we. Nice positive and uplifting post. I remember, the monster mash but never saw the video. Thanks for sharing and have a great day, Linda.
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Linda. I love all your bags with cats! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection!
ReplyDeleteLinda ... thank you for another lovely compilation of memes, inspiring quotes, lovely photographs and videos :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your week.
All the best Jan
Some great truths here!! I like all your different totes.
