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 picks, which I hope will brighten your day.
A cat's purr sits in the same frequency range used in clinical nerve and tissue repair.
A cat's purr can heal bones. The frequency of their purrs have been shown to promote bone regeneration and tissue repair.
You have a treasure within that is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer. Eckhart Tolle
Daily Kos
Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop. - Rumi
It's when we start working together that the real healing takes place. - David Hume
Take all the time you need to heal emotionally. Heal at your own pace, step by step, day by day.
Your body will be around a lot longer than that expensive handbag. Invest in yourself.
It just occurred to me that many people are actually afraid to heal because their entire identity is centered around the trauma they've experienced. They have no idea who they are outside of trauma and that unknown can be terrifying.
The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind. - Caroline Myss
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. - Kahlil Gibran
Sit with it. Instead of drinking it away, smoking it away, sleeping it away or running from it, just sit with it. Healing happens by feeling. - Unknown
We cannot heal at the same level of thinking that causes us pain...healing requires fully understanding why we love people who inflict pain on us. - Evelyn Ryan
Feeling the pain is the first step toward healing the pain. The longer we avoid the feeling, the more we delay our healing. We can numb it, ignore it or pretend it doesn't exist, but all those options lead to an eventual breakdown, not a breakthrough.
Healing is weird. Some days you're okay and you're doing just fine. Other days it still hurts like it's fresh. It's a process with no definitive time frame. You just have to keep going and know that when all is said and done, you're going to be okay. - Unknown
Let it hurt. Let it heal. Let it go.
Healing doesn't erase the pain; it changes its shape.
One day you'll wake up and find that the pain is still there but it doesn't hurt quite so much. That is when you know that you're on the road to healing.
Healing is a choice. It's not an easy one, because it takes work to turn around your habits, but keep making the choice and shifts will happen. - Yehuda Berg
These two photos are my own, which I took on my cellphone around Montreal. I took these photos on January 22. It was a weird day weather-wise. The day began with sunshine, later on we got blowing snow, and I took these two photos after the snow stopped and the sun came out. It was windy, so I took these photos in the shelter of an overhang of a building. You can click on any image to see a larger view.
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy! :)

...Linda, once again you have a fabulous collection of important words. I need to remember, "Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop!"
ReplyDeleteWow Linda - you have so many good things in here today. I can't choose a favorite.
ReplyDeleteThat last comment was from me, can't sign in again. :) Mari
ReplyDeleteThat's such a nice video with the crow. I love it. I also believe in the healing power of the purr.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
morning greetings from kuala lumpur! this morning, i'm invigilating final exam for my students. it is a bright, sunny day today. by the way, i choose this quote: Let it hurt. Let it heal. Let it go...yes let it go!!! focus on the positive vibe, after all, life is short ;) take care dear linda!!
ReplyDeleteIf one allows it to happen life can be definitely healing. Love the sayings today.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Your snowy scenes look just like by me!
ReplyDeleteI love the third picture of the kitty. Want to take it home with me.
Hi Linda - I always enjoy reading all your quotes. I love how they add together to create so much wisdom - when we're healing we need all the reminders we can get that we'll get through and things will be good again. :)
ReplyDeleteLindo video. Y yo creo que los animales curan el alma. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy my visits here!! Wise words, good giggles, and I always love the cats! I did know that about a cat's purr!! Wishing you blessings in the week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThat day looks cold. Sending you warm thoughts.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! It is amazing isn't it that a cat's purr has healing powers. I love it when my cat purrs while I am cuddling her. I love the photos you took while taking shelter. I somehow find photos of the snow very calming. We have that kind of weird thing too - it rains and the the sun comes out and it may rain again!
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, good evening. My pick today. One day you will wake up and find that the pain is still there but it doesn't hurt quite so much. That is why you know you are on the road to healing. This can apply to both emotional and physical pain. Your two own photos look like postcards to me.
ReplyDeleteRumi's words and vision always go straight to the true heart of the matter.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! Some of these were so thought provoking! This one... "Healing is a choice. It's not an easy one, because it takes work to turn around your habits, but keep making the choice and shifts will happen. - Yehuda Berg" Yes!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don´t run away but I love to sleep in here!
ReplyDeleteOh, your snow... aircon is on here, sunscreen as well! Not enough data to watch videos and I still cannot blog (Iris Flavia, in Madeley/Perth, Australia with a German phone...) Much love and really warm hugs
This one could be used as a mantra:
ReplyDelete"Healing happens by feeling." 💕
Bonne nouvelle semaine Linda!
I learned about letting go a long time ago, after our divorce, I woke up one day and realised I didn't hate him anymore, I wasn't angry anymore and it was a wonderful feeling. I like the cat's purr healing ones.
ReplyDeleteThe sky looks so beautiful. And I love the one tiny person crossing the street.
ReplyDeleteLovely memes and the invisible tiger was amazing as is the crow along with your two photos. Thanks, Linda.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Healing doesn't erase the pain; it changes its shape...this is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteGreat wisdom about healing and pain!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snow photo, mine is slowly melting!
Thanks for sharing!
Wishing you wonderful days! hugs Elke
Amazing skyscape, Linda! A cat's purr instantly relaxes me! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead. Stay warm ♥
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Linda. Cats are wonderful animals.
ReplyDeleteA very wise thought from Rumi. Oh, I didn't even know that cats have such a healing effect on our bones. It's good that I have such a cuddly cat! Warmest wishes to you, Linda, and have a good week!
ReplyDeleteA cat's purr can be the best, but it can also be very unnerving. Sometimes when one of mine wants food, she'll just sit very close to me, stare at me, and purr so loud that it's impossible to concentrate (for example when I'm working) until I give in, lol.
ReplyDeleteHallo, wat zie ik veel mooie boodschappen. De plaatjes met tekst zegt ons een hoop. We wensen je een mooie dag toe en graag tot ziens.
ReplyDeleteComme toujours un joli partage a méditer.
ReplyDeleteBonne journée Linda.
The cat quotes are so true ! I am so glad that I could take my old Rosie with me in "my" castle. Everybody loves her. Your photos are very special and the crow and dog story so exceptional and cute !
ReplyDeleteThe cat with the printer is so funny! I would be highly suspicious of the invisible tiger :)
ReplyDeleteI am so yearning for spring! We have had so bad weather here!
Have a nice week!
Thanks for sharing this lovely inspirations, Linda!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Hugs
Thank you, Linda, for everything you share. The truth is that today many of the phrases you delight us with really speak to me, but as I always do with you, I choose the one that has caught my attention the most and that invites me to put it into practice. And this is my choice: “Take all the time you need to heal emotionally. Heal at your own pace, step by step, day by day.” Wishing you strength with each new day that opens up in your life. A hug and my prayers.
ReplyDeleteHello, Linda
ReplyDeleteAll the quotes are good advice to follow.
I like the one Be like a tree.
Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
Nice photos. It looks cold though
ReplyDeleteHello Linda! It’s good to see you and thank you for always sharing such lovely memes and photos with us.
ReplyDeleteBelinda
Dear Linda, your two photos look very beautiful with the golden ray of sunshine ☀️
ReplyDeleteHere's wishing you a good week ahead 💕 🙏
thanks for your sharing
ReplyDeleteThere are always great quotes written by Karen Salmansohn.
ReplyDeleteHealing is a choice, as you mentioned and it's not easy. Every day we make choices, consciously and unconsciously. We've to break the habit of being yourself.
I also like your photos of Montreal in winter.
Greetings ❄
The healing ones - all so Good!! Yes, feel it to heal it.
ReplyDeleteIt’s true that they don’t just purr when they’re happy.
ReplyDeleteBe like a tree quote really spoke to me!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to share the continuous inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThe healing power of the cat is amazing. I agree :-D These are good ones Linda. Hope you are well :-D
ReplyDeleteHow interesting about the cats' purring. I read a few days ago that if they let you bop their noses it means you are their fave.
ReplyDeleteFascinating about kitties!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Awesome quotes today thank you
ReplyDeleteHugs from the lake
Bom dia, Linda
ReplyDeleteÓtimas frases e vídeos. Um forte abraço.
I love Frankie and Summer.
ReplyDeleteMyšlenky a citáty k uzdravování těla a duše jsou hodně důležité. Někdy je to dobrá rada, jindy doporučení nebo jen k zamyšlení. Na cestě životem se vždy hodí.
ReplyDeleteDíky, Lindo! ☺
Someone needs to start a cat purring center. When a person feels stressed, she just goes to the center and pets the cat and heals from the resulting purring.
ReplyDeleteYour winter looks similar to ours.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that a cat's purring could aid in healing, Linda, but it makes perfect sense. I've always found that sound to be soothing and relaxing at the same time. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration and the laughs!
ReplyDeleteSo many good ones today, Linda. Be like a tree and let the dead leaves fall -- yes!
ReplyDeleteWondrous. I especially loved the 'Be like a tree' and 'A cat's purr'.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
Heartfelt and beautiful post as always dear friend 👍
ReplyDeleteThank you for uplifting sharing that brightness our world 🙏♥️
That's interesting about kitty purrs! Thanks for the great quotes!
ReplyDelete"One day you'll wake up and find that the pain is still there but it doesn't hurt quite so much. That is when you know that you're on the road to healing." there are two certainties of life - death and healing. Both will come if you have patience.
ReplyDeleteThose are all good, our kitties love the printer too!
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you something. I often use the things you post as my daily affirmations. :) And sometimes I even write them down on the blackboard for my therapeutic group. :)
ReplyDeleteNow I want a cat :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the comment about our bodies being around much longer than an expensive purse-- so true!!
It still looks so snowy there! I guess we're not going to get our usual February snow; it feels like full on spring. Cats are definitely great therapy. Petting mine is very calming. I love having her rest on my lap.
ReplyDeleteIncredible post. Cats know how to heal and take care of us humans.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that about the frequency of a cats purr and the healing potential. I must admit that a cat purring on my lap is very relaxing.
ReplyDeleteI loved the story of Frankie and Summer; so cute.
Have a great week Linda.
Haha..., LInda, can you imagine...?!
ReplyDeleteLie(f)s.
Love the Rumi quote about dead leaves! The cats are as cute as ever.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday my dear!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the encouragement.
Oi, Linda! Os gatos são realmente seres especiais, eles curam a si mesmos e a nós! Além de ser muito fofo o ronronado deles! Beijos nas bochechas! :-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the healing benefits of cats' purring!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the visit!
Cats have a calming presence. Great post, Linda. Stay warm.
