To accept someone for who they are, is to accept the reality of the other person. It is to recognize the reality of them and as such, to stop trying to make them something different. It is not to embrace, like, approve of, agree with, put up with, be easygoing about, accommodate and tolerate that reality about them.
Acceptance doesn't mean that life gets better; it just means that my way of living on life's terms improves. - Sharon F. Rainey

The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone here in Montreal on February 12th. It was a beautiful day, -4 Celsius and sunny! I love nature, as you all know, and when I saw these pigeons I decided to take a couple of photos of them. You can click on any image to see a larger view.
I bought these two Canada tshirts last year at Dollarama for just $5.00 each! Yes! And they are 100% cotton!

ReplyDeleteGood thoughts on acceptance and laughter. And of course, cats!
ReplyDeleteLindas imagenes. Concuerdo contigo. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteMichael J. Fox one hits home with me. I love the sitting in park laughing at joggers too!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that one with Michael J. Fox! I actually say, "It is what it is" daily. Those that know me know that is my saying. Truly...it is the truth! :)
ReplyDelete...Linda, I'm not a cat person, but they seems to free spirits to me. Always remember, when you lose your sense of humor you have lost everything!
ReplyDeleteI love the T-shirts! Your pigeon photos are good. I have never been able to get a photo of one.
ReplyDeleteI like the throwing apples sentiment a bit too much, I think.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda - I really enjoyed the quotes on acceptance - I think when we drop expectations and accept our lives and all the goodness there is in them, we learn gratitude - and that leads to contentment and quiet happiness.
ReplyDeleteThe quote from Michael J Fox is especially meaningful considering what he's had to go through. I love the Irish Rovers.
ReplyDeleteLove the first one on acceptance.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quotes and images, a very good post.
