If you smile when you see a butterfly, you have happiness in your soul. - Dana Cooper
Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.
Journey
We enjoy warmth because we have been cold. We appreciate light because we have been in darkness. By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness. - David Weatherford

dear linda. good morning from kuala lumpur, malaysia! all the quotes make my day, for me, the best of them is : Train your mind to see something good in everything.! have a nice day, take care!
Dear Linda I went through and read all the quotes. They are all so uplifting, positive and inspiring that I don't know which to choose as my favourite. I like your own photos of the trees and flowers. They are so beautiful. They remind me that there are gems in nature and the animals. Sending hugs and love and positive energy from SG to Canada.
Hi Linda! As usual, I love all the quotes and the one about treating ourselves like our phone made me laugh hah..hah.. I love the photos you took of the colorful leaves and the beautiful Sunflower! I am happy that you are feeling better today and may you be happy in the many days to come!
Another uplifting post to start the week off. Thank you so much, Linda for sharing. The trees in your area are just beautiful! Have a wonderful week. Hugs.
I hope this summer I will see a butterfly so I can smile more..:) Little Bella did a good job, such a sweety and full of confidence. The 90 year old, well done.
Thank you for all the words of inspiration. So true, Linda, owning less means less cleaning...and I'm so for that...lol! Love the heart-warming story of Rico finding his forever home and repaying the kind person who took him in.
What you chose touched me so deeply again, with all the sayings about mastering life better. Wonderful!!! Thank you! Your photos, especially the sunflower one, are so beautiful! The videos are great too! Have a happy week!A loving hug, Elke
great quotes you always find The following one is an important one for me as I still have to learn some patience "Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow. - Plato"
The Dalai Lama sure is right, dear friend Linda. It seems like this time of the year many feel "dark"... And I sure must declutter, as soon as the work is done and my arm is back! My brain sure sang Freddie´s words happily! And Nico sure is the sweetest! The child is amazing - I only hope she does it of free will.Is the woman really 90 years old?! If so: Chapeau! To a new week, warm hugs and much love on the way!

ReplyDeleteLove the video about Rico the cat!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Fall photos! It really is gold. I like the skydiving meme. That's not something I've ever wanted to do!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quote is David Weatherford. Your sunflower and fall leaves are beautiful!
ReplyDeletelolololol on the sky diving!
ReplyDeleteDon't focus on who let you down. Appreciate who lifted you up. Don't focus on who darkened your days. Appreciate who brightened them.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe that was the basis of our minister's lesson today?
Maybe a God Wink.

ReplyDeleteOh Rico the 🐈 cat. Such a lovely cat and I am glad it had found a home in the clinic and an owner in the vet.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I like all the lovely sayings but today the Emotional Support cat touched me the most.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
I think maybe it’s possible to seize the day just a little bit — sometimes anyway. 😀
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring! thank you, Linda.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos on your walk!

I especially like the one about owning less. I've lived in apartents most of my adult life and love it, it's not fancy, but it's so carefree.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the words of inspiration. So true, Linda, owning less means less cleaning...and I'm so for that...lol! Love the heart-warming story of Rico finding his forever home and repaying the kind person who took him in.
