So many good things to think on. I like the one about everything having a crack and that's how the light gets in! And the tortoise!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! I needed all those quotes to cheer me up, thank you! It's back to work after 5 blissful days at home. Ah, there will be more public holidays and weekends coming. That's my definition of hope. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the cheer up! It is fun reading the words of wisdom.
ReplyDeleteMay
A cat can be such a comforting presence.
ReplyDelete...I always found Desmond Tutu to be an inspiring person. We could use more Desmond Tutus today. Linda, be well.
ReplyDeleteI love Leonard Cohen so much! I've been a fan since the early 70s.
ReplyDeleteI have two snoring cats with me and when I'll go to sleep now, one of them will probably come into my arm to snuggle up and sleep there. Warm, calming, comforting - I love that he does that.
ReplyDeleteLove the crack-quote the most, dear friend Linda!!! Let the light shine! And the hope comes in with it. And to keep on trying...
ReplyDelete37C today so your snow pics look even good! Much love and really literally warm hugs from here!
Lovely quotes and good pics to go with them. I liked the one on Hope with the pic of a bride.
ReplyDeleteThe snow is pretty. Of course, I don't have to live in it, so it might not be as lovely to you.
ReplyDeletethecontemplativecat here. HOPE! Life would be meaningless if we did not hope.Your memes here are so appropriate, so needed. thanks!
ReplyDeleteRight now, as I'm reading this post, my cat is sleeping by my side on the floor.
ReplyDeleteLove those cats in your post. And the quotes too.
Hope is the bridge between today and tomorrow...yes, indeed! Your snow photos are always so beautiful. I enjoy seeing the seasons of Montreal. Thank you for sharing, sweet Linda!
ReplyDeleteI so love your photos, Linda. We so rarely see snow in GA, that I find it delightful. I loved the video you shared of the Carpenters. One of my favorite memories is seeing them in concert with my cousin who purchased tickets when she knew we would be there for our summer visit. We were both shocked to see how thin Karen was. We both assumed we had cancer but that she died from anorexia was a wake up call. Having a healthy body image is worth indescribably more than fame and fortune.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite: Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow." and love the hope ones as well There is always hope and magic winter wonderland photos
ReplyDeleteLovely snowy scenes.
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful snow! I also enjoy your quotes about hope and what can help with depression. I've found that helping others and reaching out are powerful for my own mental health. I've always loved the quote, "It's only in the darkness that we can see the stars."-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
ReplyDeleteStill so freezing cold over there...cats heal the depression :-))
ReplyDeleteI remember Karen Carpenter very well. Such a sad story, and she was so talented.
ReplyDeleteI don't always watch the videos but when I saw there was a tortoise I asked my husband to watch with me 💚 We love tortoises. Brought back childhood memories. I had a tortoise and so did my sister.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, your posts are always lovely 💕
beautiful quotes - I think there is something in there for all of us. Have a great week and thankyou for visiting my blog last week.
ReplyDeleteWonderful selection radiating positivity as always!
ReplyDeleteI like the one that says, "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light shines in." Yes! Blessings. :)
