Personal Growth, Kindness
Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to you all! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to come and visit me here! I really appreciate you all so much!
Here are today's selections, which I hope will brighten your day!

Cats are absolute individuals, with their own ideas about everything...including the people they own. - John Dingman

Being strong doesn't mean you don't feel pain. It means you feel it and try to understand it so you can grow from it.
Be like the bird that, passing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings. - Victor Hugo
Start asking, "How might I learn and grow from this?"
Karen Salmansohn
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver. - Barbara De Angelis
Be Kind & Co
I know this transformation is painful, but you're not falling apart; you're just falling into something different, with a new capacity to be beautiful. - William C. Hannan
You can't see people's mental health, please be kind, always.
The following photos are my own, which I took on my cellphone in Montreal. You can click on any image to see a larger view. These photos were taken on January 15th. I had an appointment with my rheumatologist and these were taken inside the small clinic while I was waiting for my appointment. I was alone in the waiting room. Yes, my appointment went very well ☺️
These last two photos I took of the ceiling of this small clinic. I thought it was quite pretty to see these lovely murals!
As all of you who visit my blog on a regular basis are aware of, I do not often make any recommendations as to movies or books. I saw a really good movie, which you can find on YouTube, entitled "Panic in the Skies". The cast includes well known actors such as Robert Guillaume, Kate Jackson, Erik Estrada and Maureen McCormick. This movie is said to be based on a true story.
A book that I really love and find very encouraging is entitled, "Bringing Out the Best in People" by Alan Loy McGinnis.
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal! Enjoy! :)

Linda, thank you for sharing wise quotes, what we all need to start our day! I am glad your visit to the clinic went well. The clinic has a very calming environment. It is rare to see murals on the ceiling of a clinic. I like it! I will take note of the movie and book you mentioned. I remember Erik Estrada from the series CHIPS which I loved as a teenager!
Teachers use those light shades in their classrooms. I've seen both of those before. (They are very nice.) There's also a star filled sky one that I'm partial to. (I don't think those lights are so very bright, but so many do and use the shades to dim them.) You can find them on Amazon (if you're so inclined.
...Kindness makes you the most beautiful person in the world no matter what you look like, amen to this Linda. I hope that you are staying warm and well.
morning greetings from kuala lumpur!! today is a very sunny day here, and hot too. anyway, i choose this quote: Being strong doesn't mean you don't feel pain. It means you feel it and try to understand it so you can grow from it.! indeed! being strong is sometimes the only option that we have. till then, take care dear linda! good to know that your appointment went well. sending warm regards from afar
Dear Linda, good to hear that your appointments went well. 👍 The two murals on the ceiling are so refreshing and green 💚, good for the eyes 👀 Thank you for sharing about panic in the sky and the book. I like Kate Jackson when I watched her acting in Charlie's Angels. That was a long time ago.
Thank you for sharing such positivity, care, and wisdom through your blog every week. It's so uplifting, during these times of uncertainty. God bless you.
Hi Linda, my pick today, love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.
I always want to be in the process of growing up, too, Linda. May we never lose the wonder and innocence of childhood as we show kindness and understanding to others. Blessings!
Oh, this spoke to me..... "Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. - Ronald Osborn" Thank you for sharing.
I'm glad your appointment went well, and the photos from the waiting room are lovely! You've posted some great memes again, and those videos are great too! The film and book recommendation is interesting! Have a good week!hugs Elke
Good morning dear Linda, I am so glad your appointment went well. Those are interesting murals on the ceiling. Yes, kindness matters ♥ I will look for the movie you suggested!
I like this one: What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. - Ralph Walso Emerson I've never seen murals on the wall. I hope you are staying warm!!!!!!!!!!!
To kindness, I´d say! And to smiles. And playing! Always! And murals on the ceiling is a thoightful idea. Thank you, I´ll have a look into the movie When I was a teen they did call me amongst other "pig" due to my nose... and noses... I´ve been in the town where Pinoccio is from. And Adriano Celentano has a song about Pinoccio, too, La ballata di Pinocchio. "Your" song is sweet, too. And cute animals - dear friend Linda, have a good start into the week, much love and warm hugs, it´s freezing over here... 😘
Beautiful words and thoughts and wise, too. ❤️ Not just empty words and slogans. I agree with this one: "Kindness makes you the most beautiful person in the world no matter what you look like." 🧡 So glad your doctor's visit went well 🥰 Bytheway, the stairs for personal growth look like chocolate bars 🤎😀
Waiting rooms in clinics should be a bit warmer; having such beautiful murals is a nice touch. Going to the doctor is generally unpleasant, and creating a more welcoming environment helps patients feel better.
These are such beautiful quotes, Linda. I love these. Stop asking yourself, "Why is this happening to me?" Ask yourself, "How can I learn from this and grow?" I also love the photos. I wish you a wonderful new week. Greetings Irma
Bom dia minha querida amiga Linda. A minha reflexão preferida é: A bondade faz de você a pessoa mais bonita do mundo, independentemente da sua aparência. Grande abraço do seu amigo brasileiro.
Hello Linda, I do enjoy all the wise and inspiring quotes. Kindness is free, we should sprinkle it everywhere. Take care, stay warm and safe. Enjoy your day and the week ahead.
el día de hoy veo que no solo nos dejas unas grandes frases, también unas buenas noticias sobre tu salud. Sobre el alce espero no tenga problemas con la justicia como ocurre a una persona aquí en España que acogió una pequeña cierva con unas ovejas que tiene y ahora si se descuida vas tras él como un perro por toda localidad. Y le denunciaron ya que no se pueden tener animales salvajes como mascotas.
Hi Friend, I love white cats. I had a white cat growing up named Fred. It was fun to see the fluffy white cats with the great quotes you shared this week. I am happy you had a good appointment. xx oo Carla
Awww, the cat soothing the baby is so cute! The moose video also! I haven't heard the song with Jiminy Cricket in a really long time! Thank you! Have a great week!
Dear Linda, your selection is great again. I especially liked the wisdom quotes "Being strong...", "Stop asking, 'Why is this happening to me?'" and "I want to be a growing up." That's right, I want to be that too, because it makes a huge difference.
I'm glad your appointment with the rheumatologist went well! All the best and have a wonderful new week ❄️☃️, Traude
For me today, I found the cat meme images especially cute.... but the quote from Victor Hugo resonated especially with me the most today.
I found your blog as you are an internet friend of AC (as am I). I was fortunate that you have visited my blog a few times, and I wanted to be able to more of your thoughts and writings too. I am hoping to return here regularly.
These are good ones Linda and good photos. Love the ones about cats and this one really applies to me and my ankle break... "Stop asking, "Why is this happening to me?" Start asking, "How might I learn and grow from this?"" I will tell that I am different person after this injury.
Querida Linda, as imagens dos gatinhos e das frases que os acompanham são belíssimas! Mas o mais encantador são as imagens da clínica que você foi, que linda a claraboia com as imagens das plantas no teto. Maravilhoso!! Agradeço sempre o carinho querida!! Desejo uma semana maravilhosa!! :)))) Beijos!
I always want to learn and continue to grow into the person I am meant to be. Thank you for the reminder. I hope you are okay with all the snow you are receiving.
I'm pleased to know your appointment went well. The ceiling in the clinic is beautiful. We need a lot of mindfulness for kindfulness in the US these days.
I'm glad your appointment went well! Cats always bring me joy. Thanks for sharing so many of them. When I need something upbeat, I watch funny cat videos.
Linda, thank you for these quotes and the photos. Everything you share conveys calm and warmth. I’m glad to know your appointment went well. It’s always a pleasure to stop by here. Hugs and my prayers.
"Personal development is about progress, not perfection." Very well said – perfection doesn't really exist because it would be stagnation, and stagnation leads to regression. However, it's worth striving for and achieving new levels, which is progress, and these are constantly new challenges. The idea for the ceiling in the clinic is brilliant in its simplicity and seems to have a positive effect on the patients' psyche. Dear Linda, greetings from snowy Poland, the weather here is practically Canadian.
Bom dia, Linda Ótima postagem, lindas frases. A bondade e o amor precisam andar de mãos dadas em todo tempo. Bela imagem do teto. Vídeo muito engraçado e os outros são fofinhos demais. Um forte abraço.
A lovely selection of thoughtful and encouraging memes. I'm glad to hear your appointment went well, Linda. Those murals on the ceiling are lovely. My gynecologist used to have one above the exam table...of a young Richard Gere!
Linda, I watched this movie last night, thanks for recommending it. It was a great movie. I was on the seat of my pants the whole show. The people that have computer and technical knowledge are such special individuals. And the flight attendant stayed calm the whole time. I was wondering whose dog that was? Any ideas?
Wonderful kindness quotes, So glad to hear that you had good appointment at the doctors office, hope you are feeling better. Wishing you a good rest of the week!
I loved the quotes, and the video of the cat soothing the baby was darling. I'm glad your visit with your rheumatologist went well. Take care of yourself, my friend! ❤️
Bringing Out the Best in People sounds like a book my whole country needs to read right now. Thank you for these lovely quotes and the rare book recommendation.
Olá, querida Linda, são adoráveis suas postagens, lições de vida, amor... Gostei de todos, muito de George Bernard Shaw, pura verdade! Ser gentil sempre, é das melhores coisas, estamos dando, e não pedindo, e dar é um conforto, também, é um bem que fazemos sem ninguém pedir. Quem não gosta de gentileza e de respeito? E semelhante, é o post de Bárbara De Angelis, gostei muito também. Uma ótima semana, querida Linda, muita paz e saúde nesse 2026. Um beijo e meu carinho daqui de longe! 🌹🌻🙋♀️
Love the murals Like you look up to the trees and the sky. Love the cute cat pictures Love cats and I love the quote "Being strong doesn't mean you don't feel pain. It means you feel it and try to understand it so you can grow from it." So true
since i happened to revisit this entry, i choose another lovely quote: Kindness makes you the most beautiful person in the world no matter what you look like...indeed!!!
The mix of gentle wisdom, playful reminders, and those wonderful cat quotes creates such a warm, encouraging rhythm. I love how the theme of growing rather than simply “being grown” threads through the selections, and the emphasis on kindness feels especially grounding. Your clinic photos add a peaceful pause between the reflections, and the ceiling murals are such a lovely surprise. The movie and book recommendations round things out beautifully, offering both inspiration and comfort. A truly heart‑brightening post.

ReplyDeleteI didn't guess where the pig drawing was going until the woman unrolled the drawing the first time. That was such a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciated the quotes this week.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciated all the comments on kindness. Such a good thing!
ReplyDeleteI love the murals at the rheumatologist. I also see one regularly as I have RA.
Thank you. I really need to be more kind. The current political horridness is making me a mean person.
ReplyDeleteTeachers use those light shades in their classrooms. I've seen both of those before. (They are very nice.) There's also a star filled sky one that I'm partial to. (I don't think those lights are so very bright, but so many do and use the shades to dim them.) You can find them on Amazon (if you're so inclined.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot more kindness out there than the news would lead you to believe. At least here in the midwest.
ReplyDeleteKindness does indeed make a person beautiful no matter what they look like! I'll look for that movie. Thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDelete...Kindness makes you the most beautiful person in the world no matter what you look like, amen to this Linda. I hope that you are staying warm and well.
ReplyDeleteThat baby moose is just TOO cute!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the Emerson quote. Is that a skylight on your doctor's ceiling, or a painting of some kind?
ReplyDeletemorning greetings from kuala lumpur!! today is a very sunny day here, and hot too. anyway, i choose this quote: Being strong doesn't mean you don't feel pain. It means you feel it and try to understand it so you can grow from it.! indeed! being strong is sometimes the only option that we have. till then, take care dear linda! good to know that your appointment went well. sending warm regards from afar

ReplyDeleteI totally agree....cats are absolutely individuals (as can be seen from both my cats). Thanks for sharing uplifting words of wisdom as usual.
ReplyDeleteJimmy Crickets took me back about 70 years and gave me a kind of poignant moment. Not that I heard and saw it like that then, but I related.
ReplyDeleteAnd Emma the moose was wonderful.
Funny and informative with a fluffy white kitty to boot
ReplyDeleteOh, this spoke to me.....

The peak with the mountain and the water is typically oriental.

Waiting rooms in clinics should be a bit warmer; having such beautiful murals is a nice touch. Going to the doctor is generally unpleasant, and creating a more welcoming environment helps patients feel better.
ReplyDeleteThese are such beautiful quotes, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI love these.
Stop asking yourself, "Why is this happening to me?"
Ask yourself, "How can I learn from this and grow?"
I also love the photos.
I wish you a wonderful new week.
