I enjoyed all of those graphics and beautiful words. Patience seems hard to come by in the world today. Practice everyone!
ReplyDeleteYour blog always make me feel better, thank you. And Yes, I think we can learn a lot from animals and I do. Have a nice week. Ps. Stunning photos, I am a huge fan of snow. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the quotes on patience, attitude and anger. We all need to heed the wise quotes! Linda. your photos of the snow is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the snowy pictures. Great quotes.
ReplyDeleteAttitude does make all the difference!
ReplyDeleteThe blind cow is so good.
Awwwww, the baby and the cockatoo video! So cute! And yes, they will be lifelong friends.
ReplyDeletemorning greetings from kuala lumpur. i'm always amazed looking at your snow pictures! love 'em so much. for today, i choose this quote : Do what you can, when you can, with as much love and honesty as you can, and when you can't, rest.. anyway, this week is revision week for my students before they sit for their final exams! take care dear linda. tq for making time to visit my lil blog. i really appreciate that! sending hugs from afar
ReplyDeleteHolding on to anger is indeed poison. Yet it's important to learn from the negative experiences and grow from them. I keep thinking that my cat is the least patient of anything, especially around dinner time. You wouldn't want to put her in a meme. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've really got the snow, haven't you? I hope you're enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteIt really is our attitude that counts in difficult situations. 💜
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile in Canada "Canada is the only place you can freeze and slip on wet ice in the same day." Hah hah, the same is happening here in Finland 🇫🇮
Linda, the saga of the blind cow and those who loved her touched me so profoundly. All of God's creatures are worthy of our compassion, love and grace, Thank you, as always, for inspiring all of us to shine the light of Jesus into a hurting world. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThat's some quote from Picasso!
ReplyDeletePatience is critical in this world.
ReplyDeleteI did like this one - Some family trees bear an enormous crop of nuts. - Wayne Huizenga :)
LOL - that is my family.
Wonderful quotes! Thanks, Linda.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have a playground out back, and children are playing in the snow. What a sweet shot.
ReplyDeleteAw the blind cow story is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, the family nuts ...
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Mae West, though ;-)
Hi Linda, Many thoughtful words here, and you have winter in Montreal too I see, Best wishes for 2026, Lasse
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of snow where you are, great photos! Take good care of yourself!
ReplyDeleteYou've brought us some beautiful quotes here, oh, I love them and your videos, thank you and I wish you a good start to the new week!
hugs Elke
Whatever happened to kindness?
ReplyDeleteAll are good memes, attitude, it's always nice to have a good one.
ReplyDeleteYour photos of the snow are lovely, always good to see and when your winter is gone, I will miss your snow photos, Linda.
Videos are also nice. Amazing is Helen.
Dear Linda, how are you feeling today? Is your throat better?
ReplyDeleteI hope 🙏 it is.
Thank you for your 3 photos taken on your phone. Still so much snow in January. I wonder when the snow will make way for spring flowers.
Is that your balcony railings in photo 1? If yes, you have a very nice view. I would love to live where U live. Have a good week ahead 💕
This one hits me today, so much in time:
ReplyDeleteAttitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
I bring you the head of John the Baptist, in a cooler.
ReplyDeleteI'll watch the Helen the cow shortly.
Good morning, dear Linda! Your area is covered in snow! It looks pretty when it's fresh and powdery :) The Mae West quote made me smile along with the picture! Btw, thank you for your most kind comments on my blog ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I enjoy looking at your own photos, especially the first one, it gives me a peaceful and happy feeling,
ReplyDeleteMy pick today. Be patient. Good things take time. Please try to trust that everything comes in the right time, in the right way. - Karen Salmansohn
ReplyDeleteLovely quotes, Linda. Patience is very important. The world has too little of it. I love to see your snowy pictures!
ReplyDeleteHi, Linda! I love the cat pictures always 🐈⬛🖤
ReplyDeleteMerci pour ces citations pleines de vérités.
ReplyDeleteTu as une belle neige, veinarde.
Bonne journée Linda.
Great quotes and images. I try to be patient and have a good attitude.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
Great quotes !
ReplyDeleteNo snow here but rain...
Have a cozy week !
Anna
How wonderful these all are, and my dad would say that the family tree one is absolutely true!
ReplyDeleteI like the best sentence about patience.
ReplyDeleteBest regards :)
Very snowy in the city.
ReplyDeleteBom dia minha querida amiga Linda. Passando para desejar uma excelente segunda-feira. Grande abraço do seu amigo brasileiro.
ReplyDeleteI love your snowy photos!!!! patience is not one of my virtues but I love the quotes about them.
ReplyDeleteI like the one about you can't always have a good day but you can face it with a good attitude. As for patience, its not one of my virtues.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the subjects today of patience and then anger. So many good ones .. thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda, for your words and for always opening up this thoughtful space for us. You can feel the care with which you choose each piece and how the blog supports you day by day.
ReplyDeleteI especially loved the quote about patience, about knowing how to wait without losing a good attitude. It isn’t always easy, but reading it like this, accompanied by an image, brings comfort and encouragement.
I’m sending you a big hug and all my encouragement.
Beautiful posts Linda!
ReplyDeleteHaving a good attitude in a bad day can change everything :)
Canada does not seem fun in winter :D
Yes, I guess there must be some nuts in the family tree hahaha!
Have an awesome week!
Patience is not something I ever had much of! 😁
ReplyDeleteAh, your view looks like ours. I know enjoy winter, but I am DESPERATE for GREEN grass, GREEN leaves, and blooming flowers!
Have a good week, stay safe when out and about. I hope you've been able
I received a lot of kindness today :-) And I´m really working on patience! Yes on the anger. I keep quiet in those cases... and to colors.
ReplyDeleteSadly I know not much of my family. Maternal side had to flee from "the Russians" and there is nothing available. Paternal had no intertest. But bet there were loads of nuts ;-)
Peanut ("my Squirrel", that gets Walnuts) is/are back, yippeee!
Oh, snow. And awww on the Cockatoo-video! And Helen... beautiful.
Warm hugs and much love to you.😘
Oops! Been able to get your test results and that whatever is amiss is easily treated. ❤️🙏
ReplyDeleteGood thing you don't have as much snow as those poor people in Siberian Kamchatka, Facebook is filled with photos with snow reaching up four storeys high!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Linda! I hope you’re having a great day! Thank you for sharing these with us today, there are some real gems here. The snow pictures from your area are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBelinda from Frugal Workshop
Hello Linda,
ReplyDeleteof course, motivation matters. I agree on this.
I like your photos of winter atmosphere in Montreal ❄ lovely picture of the squirrel 🐿
Barbara De Angelis' quote is really important. It means: never be a prisoner of our past.
Great post, Linda. Thank you for sharing.
Many good quotes here, including bad day, good attitude.
ReplyDeletevery beautiful post have a nice week
ReplyDelete...patience is a virtue that I need to always work on.
ReplyDeleteSadly, we all have anger from time to time... BUT, it can be controlled by the Grace of God. We only need to be still and ask God to help us, change us. As always, there are good lessons in all of your post..
ReplyDeleteI really like the quote about crayons and colors. It all depends on our attitude. If we only harbor anger, we'll never be able to see the world, others, or ourselves in bright colors. Your photos are beautiful. Warmest regards Linda :)
ReplyDeleteAttitude makes a huge difference in one’s life. A positive one can bring joy!
ReplyDeleteAnother great post,
ReplyDeleteWhen you live in the US, it's hard to be patient, given the mess our country is in. These are good reminders.
ReplyDeleteGood evening from Athens, Linda. It's cold these days. It's winter. We keep solidarity and love between us, my friend, I agree with you. You have my best regards. Good week.
ReplyDeleteOi querida Linda, as imagens dos gatinhos e as frases que os acompanham sua maravilhosas!! Fazem muito bem para a minha mente e ajudam na preservação da minha saúde mental. Obrigada!!
ReplyDeleteInclusive as fotos da neve em Montreal são fantásticas, para quem não conhece neve como eu, é algo extraordinário!!
Grata pelo carinho da presença, você é sempre muito atenciosa!!!!!
Beijos e uma semana encantadora!! :)))))))
It felt so good again. Thank you so much, dear Linda.
ReplyDeleteLots of love to you.
Patience is needed throughout life and we never seem to have enough of it. I hope you fared well in the blizzard.
ReplyDeleteLord give me patience; and please hurry up.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
This is appropriate for me. Letting go of toxicity, something I found I have been able to do after the death of my mother a few years ago. I feel so much better.
ReplyDelete"We can't heal the world today" I believe we actually can heal everything within 1 second, if we humans really want too. Until that time I will keep healing and spreading the light.
ReplyDeleteThank you for you inspiration.
Busacamos fortalezas cada día y belleza para sostener
ReplyDeleteel caminar que nunca del todo es fácil...
pero hay mucho por donde y a qué sonreir.
Gracias por el optimismo!
Bonsoir
ReplyDeleteJe viens t'apporter
Mon bisous du soir
Et te souhaiter une bonne soirée et nuit
Amitié Rita
El de la paciencia es estupendo!!!
ReplyDeleteFeliz semana.
Un abrazo.
I love the quotes about Anger and fire, and about rest. Need them a lot! Thanks ♥️
ReplyDeleteToo much of a good thing can be wonderful.. Heh heh so funny. That picture is awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou can't always have a good day. But you can always face a bad day with a good attitude.
ReplyDeleteThe one above is my favorite today Linda. It is so true.
Thank you!!
Spousty pozoruhodných myšlenek a citátů. Dnes hlavně pochválím video s příběhem slepé zachráněné krávy, moc pěkné.
ReplyDeleteAť se daří, Lindo! ☺
Anger is a very complicated and difficult emotion for me.
ReplyDeleteNice winter pictures. :)
We always learn from the life lessons you share; it's never too late to learn. I love the first video.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Best regards.
The blind cow story touched my heart.
ReplyDeleteThese are great. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDelete'Your' snow is still nice, dear Linda! Hahaaa..., the gag!
ReplyDeleteLie(f)s.
Thank you for sharing the many wise words and thoughts here this week. I loved Helen's story - a beautiful heart touching tale of love and kindness.
ReplyDeleteI just enjoyed the story of Helen, the cow 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
ReplyDeleteNice images of snowy Montreal. Recently, I've been seeing ads on Montreal when I watch YouTube videos. Thank you for the visit and kind words!
ReplyDeleteThe quotes are very good and should be remembered. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda
ReplyDeleteAs we start another week I must thank you for another great post you've put together.
Take care, my good wishes.
All the best Jan
There can never be too many cat/kitten photos!
ReplyDeleteI like the snowy street scenes in black and white.
Oh my goodness the blind cow! Precious
ReplyDeleteHi Linda.. you came over to my blog, Pink Paper Cottage, for a visit, so thought I'd come visit you! I love your blog! One of my passions is finding quotes that I have not heard before! You have many that I love. I may take a couple and add to my "quotes" book if I may? I've actually found some good ones in books I've been reading, so always write them down too. I'm subscribing and hope I'm notified, as some blogs I follow never notify me (usually ones by Blogger)... and mine is by Blogger and I never get notified when someone comments. Thank you for visiting my blog.. I love that you live in Canada.. maybe I can learn something... your snow pictures are beautiful too. Marilyn
ReplyDeleteLindos gatitos. Buen consejo. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteThanks for another informational post.
ReplyDeleteLovely and heart warming as always 💖
ReplyDeleteHelen! Oh, my goodness. That video is the sweetest. All the kitties are adorable, and I love your photos.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Beautiful photos and quotes.
ReplyDelete"You can't always have a good day. But you can always face a bad day with a good attitude" - this is a good one. So true :) Have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteA sweet good morning. The nicest thing I read today!
ReplyDeleteLeuke blog! En bedankt voor je bezoekje aan ons. Ook bij jullie is er veel sneeuw gevallen. Maar dit schijnt bij jullie normaal te zijn.
ReplyDeleteMooie dag gewenst vanuit Nederland.
Groetjes F&J
Lindas citações que devem ser lembradas, feliz terça-feira bjs.
ReplyDeleteComo siempre muy difícil quedarse con una de las frases, pero en esta ocasión me quedo con la comparativa entre la ira y el fuego.
ReplyDeleteLos videos muy amenos y así como tus fotos que nos reflejan el frio debéis de tener que soportar.
Saludos.
Interesting reflexions. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteKisses
Wonderful quotes. Looks like we all got a little snow.
ReplyDeleteanything an animal can teach me is welcome ;-) As are animalpeople
ReplyDeleteEach of the Anger memes make a lot of sense to me. Thank you, as always, for finding just the right ones, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThese are great Linda. I love the Jill Ireland quote! She was married to a great Scottish actor before she went with Charles Bronson. :-D
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing okay. I am struggling away. People keep telling me it gets easier but it's hard to see it in this moment. Trying to walk a little more now that I can put a little weight back on the left leg.
First Linda - I think kindness is such a good word for the year...I certainly always find it when I visit you here. The story about Helen the cow is so moving. You share such great things. Also your pictures of winter in Montreal is lovely. Take care friend and have a great day. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteMuy hermosas y ciertas todas las citas, y los videos son preciosos y algunos muy graciosos.
ReplyDeleteQuiero agradecerte tu visita a mi blog.
Un abrazo y buena semana.
I love the Picasso quote about putting things off until tomorrow. I'm 'borrowing' that one to put on my blog.
ReplyDeleteChildren enjoy the snow the most, according to one of the photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminders about patience. I love your photos too!
ReplyDeleteBonsoir
ReplyDeleteC'est avec une pensée amicale
Et mon amitié
Que je passe sur ton blog
Pour venir te souhaiter
Une belle soirée
In der heutigen Zeit ist der richtige Umgang mit Wut sehr wichtig. Danke für die Sprüche zu diesem Thema und für die anderen oft tröstenden Worte.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quotes and wonderful photos from snowy Montreal.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog! I love yours-and it really helped me today because I am hurt by how I was mistreated at the drug store today-my husband just had an operation and I was picking up his prescription-I was treated so rudely by the worker-I actually think the other workers were embarrassed by her too....So your quotes gave me some perspective on the situation. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteQuerida Linda,
ReplyDeleteQue belas reflexões, sempre aprendemos um pouco com cada pensamento que lemos. Adorei as suas fotos da neve e os vídeos!
Um beijo!
Patience is something I really need to work on at times. Thanks for the quotes. I know Eastern Canada is getting way more snow than us. Hope you are staying safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Your pictures of the snow are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI liked the quote, "You can't always have a good day. But you can always face a bad day with a good attitude." And I got a good chuckle from the video of the man's head in the freezer box.
your inspiration sure does reach a lot of people. i am all about the kindness but my favorite today you can't always have a good day....but you can always face a bad day with a good attitude!!!
ReplyDeleteHola, Linda.
ReplyDeletePor allí estáis cubiertos de nieve, como ocurre por Segovia.
Espero que pases un buen día.
Un abrazo.
Bom dia minha querida amiga Linda. Obrigado pelas reflexões. Esse dia 18 de janeiro, foi um dia especial. Minha mãe fez 83 anos de idade. Grande abraço do seu amigo brasileiro.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these uplifting quotes! I feel happier every time I visit your blog, Linda.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda. I found the last video on your blog post ‘United we stand’ particularly relevant to Canada. I wish you Canadians much courage and strength to stand up to Trump. Meanwhile, here in Europe we are concerned about the Greenland issue
ReplyDeleteGood Attitude, patience, caring, kindness and love for one another, I miss seeing all of that these days, praying we come around to it again. Stay warm and well, hope you are feeling better, continue to pray for you!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely all about attitude.
ReplyDeletelove this quote:"Animals are teachers of patience, love, loyalty and the meaning of life."
ReplyDeleteHope, everything goes well with you....
I have to be honest I giggled on the Canada (Freezing and slipping quote) haha! I lived in an area one time like this!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, the quotes about patience were all written for me. I never have enough.
ReplyDeleteI feel quite cheered after visiting your site. You have improved my day.
Jeannie@GetMeToTheCountry.
Thank you for sharing all these lovely quotes, Linda.
ReplyDeleteTodas las citas me gustan, también me gustó mucho ver a la vaca Helen. Gracias por todo Linda. Besos.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty snow! We have plenty here as well. And today I don't have to leave the house if I don't want to so that's a nice thing too. Wishing you a fun weekend ahead. Cheers, Ivy.
ReplyDeleteI loved the blind cow video, Linda, and I'm scared or cows. 😂. We all need love. Much love to you!
ReplyDeleteThe mix of quotes you gathered today creates such a gentle rhythm between patience, perspective and emotional balance. I love how each one adds a slightly different angle, from nurturing a calm attitude to releasing old anger to trusting the timing of things. The snowy Montreal photos add a peaceful pause between the reflections, and the animal videos bring such warmth. This post feels like a little reset button for the day, offering both comfort and encouragement in a really natural way.
ReplyDeleteEvery quote here speaks to the heart. Love, healing, and patience truly are the keys to a balanced life...
