Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to each and every one of you! Thank you so much for taking the time to come and visit me here! I really appreciate you all!
Here are today's picks, which I hope will brighten your day!
Kindness is like snow. It beautifies everything it covers. - Kahlil Gibran
Wishing you a day where your mirror doesn't feel like a courtroom, a stranger proves people are still decent, and the only surprise you get is a good one.
Your partner will affect your nervous system, your decisions, your sleep, and your beliefs. If they can't take responsibility for the energy they bring to the relationship, you won't have peace in your life.
The biggest lie we're told is, "Be with someone who makes you happy." The truth is, happiness is something you create on your own. Be with someone who adds to it.
True friendship is seen through the heart, not through the eyes. - Unknown
I have lived with several Zen Masters - all of them cats. - Eckhart Tolle
Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder. - Rumi
Calm
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
The best revenge is to have enough self-worth not to seek it.
In every change, in every falling leaf, there is some pain, some beauty. And that's the way new leaves grow. - Amit Ray
I was in love with the whole world and all that lived in its rainy arms.
Anxiety lies. There is a way through this, you just haven't found it yet.
People who are prone to anxiety are nearly always people-pleasers who fear conflict and negative feelings like anger. - David D. Burns, MD
Whatever you're feeling, it will eventually pass
You won't feel sad forever. At some point, you will feel happy again. You won't feel anxious forever. In time, you will feel calm again.
You don't have to fight your feelings or feel guilty for having them. You just have to accept them and be good to yourself while you ride this out.
Resisting your emotions and shaming yourself will only cause you more pain, and you don't deserve that
You deserve your own love, acceptance, and compassion. - Lori Deschene
The happiest people I know are always evaluating and improving themselves.
The unhappy people are usually evaluating and judging other people.
Everywhere you go is a chance to change the world!
One smile, one hug, one act of kindness can make the world of a difference to someone!
If Jaws was filmed in Canada. :)
When you get in a tight place and everything goes against you, until it seems as though you couldn't hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. - Harriet Beecher Stowe
I used to love dogs until I discovered cats. :)
The key to eating healthy? Avoid any food that has a TV commercial. - Unknown
Under the influence of clutter, we may underestimate how much time we're giving to the less important stuff. - Zoe Kim
Wasp Spirit reminds us that sometimes the sting of life is a necessary initiation. What feels painful in the moment is often guiding you toward transformation, clearing space for growth, and leading you to a more fulfilling future. Trust the sting - it's pointing you toward your true path.
If you can't do anything about it, then let it go. Don't be a prisoner to things you can't change. - Tony Gaskins
I finally realized it. People are prisoners of their phones, that's why they're called cell phones. :)

ReplyDeleteI loved the Canadian version of Jaws!
The Seekers! I love Judith's voice. I will be listening to old recordings the rest of the night.
ReplyDeleteSo many good memes here today, thanks! I laughed hard at both the "Meanwhile in Canada" ones!
ReplyDeleteWow such beautiful photos of the flowers, lovely, thanks for sharing! And the Gag video really makes me laugh, that's a good one! Guess I am gonna watch it the second time.
ReplyDeleteSnow certainly does beautify everything it covers, Linda, and that video with the fawn just stole my heart! We have deer in our neighborhood and I was blessed to see a doe just after she had given birth to her fawn in our back yard. Wow! Something I'll never forget!
ReplyDeleteCanadian Jaws! Mooze!
ReplyDeletedear linda. warmest greeting from kuala lumpur, malaysia. Thanks for always sharing lovely quotes..i love all of them. for today, i vote for this one: "The biggest lie we're told is, "Be with someone who makes you happy." The truth is, happiness is something you create on your own. Be with someone who adds to it." --- i want to create much more my own happiness as life is short, so let's live it to the fullest, no regrets later!
ReplyDeleteI did not guess where Just for Laughs was going. Very funny.
ReplyDeleteJudith Durham had such a rich voice. There won't be another like her.
Oh dear, I shouldn't have listened the song.
ReplyDeleteFun quite from Tolle about Zen Masters and cats and a pretty wonderful photo to go with it.
ReplyDeleteYour cellphone pics are lovely - such charming and soothing colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quotes, even when everything seems to be hard and impossible to reach, we need to try over and over and never give up.
ReplyDeleteIt is so lovely to see flowers in bloom. I moved my plants into the greenhouse. Such a wonderful selection of quotes. I love the "happiest people" one. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI love the Canadian Jaws, and the Zen Masters and the CELL phones! The flowers are beautiful and I really remember these two songs!
ReplyDeleteThis will be my motto today: "Everywhere you go is a chance to change the world!" 🙂
ReplyDeleteYes, it's true, cats are Zen Masters 😀
Hah hah bear at the table 🐻

Amen to we have to be responsible for our own happiness! But it's nice when other people can add to it.

ReplyDeleteHow cute to have such a big bear sitting at the table ! The video with the little deer was touching !
ReplyDeleteThe happiest people I know are always evaluating and improving themselves.
ReplyDeleteThe unhappy people are usually evaluating and judging other people.
Linda, thank you so much for the above quote. I had a very negative women in my work life, she was so mean to me. I almost quit my job over it. This happened in 2019, I blogged about it. It took awhile to heal from the negative way she treated me. I am better now, thank goodness, but this quote is so true, thank you for sharing it.
Today I am feeling a little bit gloomy, so coming here to your blog made me more cheerful. Loved the songs :) Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteMe iba haber quedado solo con alguna de las frases, pero es que tras ellas llegaban unas iguales o superiores. El efecto óptico del reno y la barca con sus ocupantes muy bueno.
ReplyDeleteVeo que aun quedan hojas dando ese color especial a los árboles.
Los videos musicales me han encantado el grupo ABBA ya conocía y los otros también me gustaron.
Saludos.
Love the Eckhart Tolle quote. Wise man indeed. These are good Linda :-D
ReplyDeleteYou had some pretty deep ones this time.
ReplyDeleteI liked:
The happiest people I know are always evaluating and improving themselves.
The unhappy people are usually evaluating and judging other people.
I take it that you like dogs, but love cats - is that true? lol
Boa quinta-feira minha querida amiga Linda. Obrigada pela mensagem e comentário. Me desculpe pela demora na resposta.
ReplyDeleteHello! My goodness, you are speaking to me, my friend. Yes. Anxiety is brutal. But, there is hope. Thank you for the reminders!

If Jaws was filmed in Canada really made me laugh out loud 😂🤣😆
ReplyDeleteMy two zen masters are sending purrs your way 🐈⬛🐈
"Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."
ReplyDeleteI love this.
God bless.
I've always like ABBA. Lovely pictures.

ReplyDeleteI like both The Seekers and Abba.
ABBA is a favourite group of ours. We played it in the truck during our drive to Alberta.

Those are terrific and I live with several Zen Masters too!
ReplyDeleteYo creo que la bondad y la amabilidad son así como la nieve. Bellas imagenes. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteSome really good quotes on anxiety, Beautiful pics, our flowers took a hit when we got some frost the other day and this Sunday we are supposed to have a hard freeze, so I don't think we will be seeing much more, so sad!
ReplyDeleteIt's a sunny Friday morning here in Kuala Lumpur. Sending you warmest thought and wishes, virtual!. I scrolled down all the quotes again and for today, i choose this one: Everywhere you go is a chance to change the world!
ReplyDeleteOne smile, one hug, one act of kindness can make the world of a difference to someone!
Pretty flowers, nice to see them in cold months.
ReplyDeleteGreat post

ReplyDeleteABBA is a matter of my heart.

ReplyDeleteEspero que tengas un buen día, Linda.
También hay una nueva entrada en mi blog.
Un abrazo.
Very interesting and amusing messages
ReplyDeleteSo much to ponder upon, look at and listen too! Delightful, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds lovely! 🍁 October in Montreal must have looked absolutely magical — the colors, the light, the crisp air. I can imagine how beautiful those photos are, especially knowing they were captured during peaceful walks. There’s something so special about sharing personal glimpses of a city through your own lens. 📸✨
ReplyDeleteI just love stopping by to read all the the quotes you assemble and how pretty they are displayed. I love the one about the zen masters all being cats. ha ha..
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post. The quote about our partners adding to our happiness really struck me. Blessings, my dear.
ReplyDeleteEine wunderbare Seite,danke! Liebe Grüsse zu einem lieben Menschen in Kanada,Klärchen
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful thoughts that offer true wisdom for every day. I also have a cat, a black one. I never knew cats could be so wise, intelligent, and quick to learn everything, and they have their own personalities.
I love autumn in Montreal; the photos are beautiful; I enjoy looking at them.
Best regards :)
Szczęście... to chyba spokój
ReplyDeleteYour post is so soothing and full of wisdom.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds us that we create our own happiness and that it’s important to be gentle with ourselves, accept our emotions, and notice the beauty around us.

ReplyDeleteBonsoir
ReplyDeleteL'amitié c'est comme une étoile

Bisous doux Rita
Lots of wisdom captured in this post! Thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteOi Linda! Gosto muito de teus comentários lá no blog, obrigada! Sim, somos mais duas pessoas no mundo que gostam de gatos mas do que cachorros.Vou destacar a mensagem sobre alimentos pois lembrei de outra frase que eu li: se alguma coisa é boa e/ou linda de verdade, não precisa de marketing. Bom fim de semana! :-)
ReplyDeleteUn post che regala tanti spunti di riflessione, grazie. Le tue foto sono veramente belle e a proposito dei gatti a me piacciono tantissimo. Ho avuto con me un gatto per ben 20 anni e a distanza di anni mi manca ancora. Saluti belli.
ReplyDeletesinforosa

ReplyDeleteBeijo,
SOL da Esteva
Such a heartwarming and uplifting collection of quotes, photos, and reflections. The blend of humor, wisdom, and gentle encouragement creates a truly peaceful space. I especially appreciated the reminder that emotions are temporary and that kindness—toward ourselves and others—can be transformative. Your flower photos add a lovely touch of serenity, and the Canadian Jaws meme gave me a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteLD....Lots of variety of encouragemen. I remember how we had so many farm cats when I was a kide. It was fun to go to the barn to find the nest of kittens in the hay. Abba can always cheer one up.
ReplyDeleteSo many great quotes. Hello from Malaysia with love
ReplyDeleteUnas buenas enseñanzas que bien vale reflexionar y concretar en neustra vida...
ReplyDeleteAbrazos.
Reading your blog posts is ALWAYS a blessing to me. Thank you for all the observations, insights, wisdom, and encouragement. And the chuckles. Yes, the chuckles!
ReplyDeleteIf Jaws was filmed in Canada made me laugh! Apart from the fun there is just so much wisdom in your choices today 💗💗💗💗
ReplyDeleteNice collection of meme's. The cat ones are the best in my opinion. Also enjoyed the pretty flowers, as mine are all gone now. Been enjoying visiting everyone on my blog list, as it's been too many months since I've blogged. It feels good to get back into it.
ReplyDeleteGood morning mam, greetings from Malaysia 👋🇲🇾
ReplyDeleteoh Fairy fawn.... what a friendship

LeeAnna
These words really remind us that peace starts within...
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend, Linda
ReplyDeleteThe one with cell phones. Very apt.
ReplyDeleteThese are all lovely pictures and videos in a row. This is very enjoyable and lovely to read. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteThe 'Zen master' makes me laugh... hehehhe
ReplyDeleteWow, some delightful quotes, some ouchy wake-up calls for my dad. Great photos, too, by the way. Thanks for visiting me and dad!
ReplyDeleteYour title sums up my life, dear friend Linda. And the content also.
ReplyDeleteThank you - you helped me!
And you made me laugh! My dear Bro wanted to see my application back in the day. He owns a shop, he can help!
"No one understands 'evaluate'!" he stated - they wanted me (Ididn´t want them).
And YES! Smiles to strangers help both sides.
Never watched "Jaws" but my friend saw a moose (Sweden it was, if I remember corredct) and fell unconcions later!! In a meeting, stress²
I was stung by a bee - does that count?
LOL, my "cell phone" is broken and I didn´t mind to buy a new one But yes, it makes me "sick how parents neglect kids, friends friends over "friendson the phone".
Not so sure about the blind store attendant... I cannot lie and I have "handicapped" people in my life - but then... maybe we need to make jokes?
Awwww, the fawn!
And ABBA! My Dad didn´t like "modern music" but Mom did and when driving in the car without him: ABBA!
Much love and warm hugs to you 🥰
Dear Linda, as always there is so much wisdom and positive feeling in what you share. Thank you for these golden thoughts, photos, and videos. I watched and read everything with pleasure. I treated myself to a gift and went once more on a trip to Lidzbark, which I wrote about recently. It was beautiful, I took lots of autumn photos so I’ll definitely write about it soon. I wish you only bright days and I’m sending friendly hugs!
ReplyDeleteA great selection; just the tonic i need at the moment.
ReplyDeleteHi from Malaysia. Love the flower photos.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteNice pictures of the cats and all flowers.
The movies are very funny and the song of ABBA is great.
Many greetings,
Marco
Marvelous !!

Greetings Irma
The one about cell phones made me smile, thank you. I know a few people who are definitely prisoners of theirs.
ReplyDeleteLindo, thank you very much for visiting my blog, and I send you warm greetings from the Czech Republic. H.
