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.
If you think diamonds are a girl's true love...you never owned a cat. - Ray Bradbury
It is difficult to obtain the friendship of a cat. It is a philosophical animal...one that does not place its affections thoughtlessly. - Theophile Gautier
Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you're in trouble, because the reason can be taken from you. - Deepak Chopra
Children "get it!" They cry when they're hurt, squeal in delight when they're happy. Children express their true feelings. Connect to the child in you. - Lee Horbachewski
Children are happy because they don't have a file in their minds called "all the things that could go wrong" - Marianne Williamson
A child is like a butterfly in the wind. Some can fly higher than others, but each one flies the best it can. Why compare one against the other? Each one is different, each one is special, each one is beautiful.
The most creative people have this childlike facility to play. - John Cleese
Above all, we cannot afford not to live in the present. They are blessed over all mortals who lose no moment of the passing life in remembering the past. - Henry David Thoreau
At the end of the day, at the end of the week, at the end of my life, I want to be able to say that I contributed more than I criticized. - Brene Brown
Time is a gift that most of us take for granted. We get so caught up in the busyness of our daily lives that we rarely stop and take a serious look at how we're spending this gift. - Cheryl Richardson
Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path of joy. - Sarah Ban Breathnach
A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason. To always be curious. To fight tirelessly for something. - Paulo Coelho
Enjoy every moment in your life. Today's beautiful moments are tomorrow's beautiful memories.
Enjoy every moment you have. Because in life, there are no rewinds, only flashbacks. Make sure it's all worth it!
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
If you're always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one you're in? Enjoy the ride!
Your breakfast looks fabulous!!! Yum! And someone else made it for you, even better!
ReplyDeleteI love the innocence of children.
Yes, I do believe that whimsy, silliness, and play all contribute to creativity, lightness of spirit, and happiness.
ReplyDeleteQue lindo seu cantinho. Bem no capricho. Parabéns pelo blog e o carinho no meu cantinho. A partir de amanhã. Entro na pausa. Um abraço.
ReplyDeleteYes, these are good reminders to slow down and enjoy the moment.
ReplyDeleteSimple breakfasts are the best, really.
ReplyDeleteYou've shared more good things. I really like the one about children not having a file on all the things that can go wrong. So true!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the uplifts. I love Jim Reeves' voice.
ReplyDeletethecontemplativecat here. Great collection of posters! So many good thoughts. The Playful Connections and John Cleese connect with me.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post today! Lots of cute critters and kiddos. I approve! :)
ReplyDeleteLindos pensamientos. Me enamore del video. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda - loved the cat quotes and also the Brene Brown one - I do appreciate all that Brene has taught me about living life well.
ReplyDeleteKids and cats!! Can't go wrong with either!! Thanks for the good thoughts and good giggles!
ReplyDeleteChildren always tell the truth and always say the funniest things. Love all your sayings today.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
A simple breakfast can be the best.
ReplyDeleteTo let go of inhibitions and be free like a child is a delight.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quote is:
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the day, at the end of the week, at the end of my life, I want to be able to say that I contributed more than I criticized. - Brene Brown
I loved the way your eggs looked - makes me want some now.
How sweet the dog leading the blind dog.
Sweet post.
What a lovely breakfast!
ReplyDeleteI'm fortunate enough to be loved by a cat although it took me several months to earn that love. We all need to get in touch with our inner children. Honest emotions and living each moment fully.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my world where I want to be happy for no reason! How I loved everything you posted here, Linda. You are an inspiration, especially at the end of a long day. May you always feel the love of God embracing you!
ReplyDeleteSurprised to see that bird actually fly away at the end of that video.
ReplyDeleteI think your post made me smarter
ReplyDeleteThe video of that blind dog with big sister on walk is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love how these quotes encourage us to embrace the joy and authenticity of childhood, and to live fully in the moment. The one about children not having a mental file of ‘all the things that could go wrong’ really made me pause and smile...
ReplyDeleteI love the one about not always rushing to the next moment. The eggs look perfectly done.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, my pick today. Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you're in trouble, because the reason can be taken from you. - Deepak Chopra. Super love the little boy in this poster, he looks so happy and cute. I do not have kids myself but I love little children. By the way, your light breakfast looks yummy, healthy and delicious!
ReplyDeleteHi, Linda! Diamonds are not a girl's best friend. Diamonds don't equal love. The dog taking the blind dog for a walk is precious.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Reading what is said about children and their happiness, I realize I'm still a child at heart 😀 It's a wonderful thing.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS GOOD: "At the end of the day, at the end of the week, at the end of my life, I want to be able to say that I contributed more than I criticized. " 🌹
Thank you Linda ❤️
This.... "Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you're in trouble, because the reason can be taken from you." - Deepak Chopra
ReplyDeleteVery true!!!
I love my eggs sunny side up too
Oh, I loved a lot of these quotes today!!!!
ReplyDeleteA very appetizing breakfast! All the wise quotes encourage us to enjoy every moment we are given. Sometimes you have to be like a child – very open. Warmest regards and have a nice day :)
ReplyDeleteBellisimo todo, amiga. Preciosos los gatos.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, my inner child comes out to play when I create my art :) I am glad you enjoyed your breakfast at the delicatessen. Have a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy every moment you have. Because in life, there are no rewinds, only flashbacks. Make sure it's all worth it!" Amen to that!
ReplyDeleteChildren are great teachers!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Hugs
Thank you for all the wise words, Linda! Beautiful cats :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree that cats are more important to me than diamonds.
ReplyDeleteUn magnifique message ! Vivre l'instant présent est sans doute le plus beau cadeau que l'on puisse se faire.
ReplyDeleteBonne journée.
Oh Linda! I love the first quote! Between a diamond and a cat, I choose the cat! LOL! Your breakfast is right up my alley :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment on my blog... and continue to enjoy every day
ReplyDeleteYour eggs look tasty and I see you like pepper as I do too.
ReplyDeleteThe memes are good, enjoyed reading them and some for me are ever so true.
The poor little bird but was so good to see him get better and fly once again.
Just for laughs was good, amazing how people are scared of that dog.
Take care, Linda and thanks for sharing.
Such uplifting quotes!
ReplyDeleteMy mouth watered with that delicious breakfast!
The security dog gag is hilarious!
Have a wpnderful weekend!
Delicious breakfast, Linda! Once more, great gag!
ReplyDeleteLie(f)s.
Thanks for so many great and motivating thoughts :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been ages since I've had eggs that way. I seem to prefer them scrambled.
ReplyDeleteI would endorse what John Cleese says and I firmly resolve never to grow up!
ReplyDeleteThese are such great quotes and words of wisdom again, thank you! It's always so good to read them and take something away for everyday life!
ReplyDeleteYour food looks delicious!
Great video!
Happy time , hugs Elke
Hi, Linda!
ReplyDeleteLoved your post again this month, dear friend! I would describe myself as childlike. It doesn't take much for me to smile, laugh and experience joy, even if I was feeling depressed a moment before. Like a child, I am also insatiably curious, always in search of information to help explain the phenomena I observe. Disliking the word "work," I strive to turn every activity into play. When everything is framed as play, you are motivated to jump in and do it, get things done, and enjoy the feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment that comes with completion. "Contribute more than you criticize" is a very useful principle. Think of all the lurkers on social media who spend so much of their lives waiting to pounce, waiting to strike, waiting for the chance to slam someone or something. At the end of the day and at the end of their lives, they have made themselves just as miserable as their targets. "How have you spent your time?" is a question I frequently ask myself. If I don't like the answer, I make necessary adjustments.
Your breakfast looks delicious, Linda! I look forward to my morning coffee and love hot toast on a cold winter's day. The Just For Laughs Gag reminds me that tiny dogs are often more aggressive than larger ones. The video about the blind dog and the puppy that befriended her and guides her brought tears to my eyes. What a great life lesson to know that, when her sightless eyes were removed, the dog became happier and behaved like a puppy again. I was also touched by the story about the tiny yellow bird that flew into a window, was rescued, nursed and released by that caring and compassionate woman. Very uplifting vignette!
I return to blogging with a new post tomorrow, Friday, and hope you can visit me at Shady's Place. Enjoy the rest of your week, dear friend Linda!
Dear Linda, thank you for sharing the photos of the eggs and bread. Looks so delicious 😋🤤 here people seldom eat rye bread but I love to eat rye bread 😋
ReplyDeleteHope the weather is warmer now that it is getting close to spring
When I was in UK, I look forward to the flowers in spring. The daffodils will be 1st to welcome spring.🌼🪻
...Linda, I try to remember that life isn't a dress rehearsal and that growing up is over rated.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely ones today. And I'm especially loving your delicious looking breakfast! Thanks for your visits, too!
ReplyDeleteYup I'm learning about those CATS!!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, I really enjoyed this one-hugs
ReplyDeleteThose eggs look lovely, a simple breakfast, but so satisfying. I am glufree so I make oat omellettes in the mornings (an egg, seasonings and six tbsp of ground oats - fry on low heat covered on both sides).
ReplyDeletethere's a child in all of us
ReplyDeleteThose are all so good and so true, especially about cats.
ReplyDeleteI can always count on you to post a few cats.
ReplyDeleteWe went out for quite a breakfast yesterday. I'll post on Saturday.
Hello dear Linda,
ReplyDeleteThese are so many beautiful pictures and wonderful sayings.
It's wonderful to be able to read and share so much wisdom.
Kind regards, Helma
So true about the cats and kids Linda :-D Good breakfast as well :-D
ReplyDeleteLove this quote: "At the end of the day, at the end of the week, at the end of my life, I want to be able to say that I contributed more than I criticized."...
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day....
Great post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing
Good evening, my dear Linda. Every time, I enjoy my visit to your blog, full of useful quotes, human feelings and beautiful images. Have a nice night, my dear.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteCute kitties and great quotes. Enjoy every moment.
Take care, have a great day!
Learning to live here and now is extremely important!
ReplyDeleteSuch a delicious and well balanced breakfast ☕ 🍞
ReplyDeleteSarah Ban Breathnach is right on learning to live in the present moment. I also agree on cats.
Greetings,
G.
If you think diamonds are a girl's true love...you never owned a cat.. An old saying has taken on a new meaning. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people seem to have forgotten it, but we will always remain children. Children of God.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this.
Happy Valentine's Day Linda!! Thank you for making me smile.
ReplyDeleteYour breakfast looks very yummy, and I am ready to go make some lunch. :-)
Happy soon to be Valentine's day. Loved these. I had 2 eggs this morning for breakfast too.
ReplyDeleteI have a very silly child inside me. Not everyone can deal with it coming out, but I enjoy it! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI was so fortunate to work in schools with children. I learned so much from them in how to live.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast foods are my favorite! I enjoy having breakfast for dinner occasionally. Thank you for sharing some thought provoking memes!
ReplyDeleteZaujaly mě citáty a moudra o dětech, ale má to i svou druhou stránku: není dobré chovat se dětinsky v dospělém věku. Také si vzpomínám na několik žen, které ve zralém věku přes 60 let chtěly asi zastavit čas a chovaly se jako "diblík", tak se tomu u nás říká. To je pak pro smích ostatním.
ReplyDeleteTakové přípravě vajíček, co jsi měla k snídani, se u nás říká "volské oko". Je to chutné. 👍
Thank you for another lovely post Linda.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy listening to Jim Reeves, what a warm voice he had.
Hope your week has gone well.
Look after yourself, my good wishes.
All the best Jan
My husband also loves sunny side up eggs, but he has always called them sloppy eggs. He has embarrassed me before when he would order them at restaurants. Ha!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading all of the quotes. Great reminders to enjoy the moment that we are in. Have a wonderful day!

My inner child is tired of winter and impatiently waiting for spring! I want to get out to play!
ReplyDeleteA good breakfast indeed, nice videos and great quotes.
ReplyDeleteGreetings
sometimes cats always ignore us, which makes me annoyed haha!
ReplyDeleteoh love the quotes about children They are so refreshing and light and I love "At the end of the day, at the end of the week, at the end of my life, I want to be able to say that I contributed more than I criticized. - Brene Brown" These eggs look delicious Love them
ReplyDeleteI agree, we need to live life like kids, it would make things so much more enjoyable! Wishing you many enjoyable kid like moments!
ReplyDeleteChildren do teach us an awful lot.
ReplyDeleteThese are some beautiful sayings, videos, and photos.
ReplyDeleteThis one is my favorite.
Enjoy every moment of your life. Today's beautiful moments are tomorrow's beautiful memories.
I wish you a wonderful weekend.
All the best, Irma
I haven't had a cat for years, but brought up with them and love them. Except the ones who poo in my garden! Great quotes about children, so true. from a retired lady living in Wales UK. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and insightful phrases.
ReplyDeleteBest regards
Hi! Good post!
ReplyDeleteOlá Linda,
ReplyDeletetua seleção é motivadora!
Precisamos, sim, incentivar a criança que há em nós e nos deixarmos encantar por todas as boas sensações que nos despertam.
Feliz final de semana!
Bjssss
Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you're in trouble, because the reason can be taken from you. - Deepak Chopra
ReplyDeleteThis is si true!
Que grandes frases estas que nos dejas hoy con los niños como protagonistas. En las que nos demuestras como nunca debimos dejar a un lado aquel niño que fuimos.
ReplyDeleteDe los perros de seguridad no se cual de los dos me darían mas confianza en ocasiones los pequeños son peores.
De los perros del otro video el mas pequeño, el cual me parece un pastor australiano, demuestra bien sus genes de perro guardián de ganado.
Saludos.
Was NOT expecting the first quote to be from Ray Bradbury - ha!
ReplyDeleteThat's the kind of breakfast I eat and like. Thanks for all the positive words and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteSo true about children now worrying about what could go wrong. The size of that file grows with age!
ReplyDeleteDear Linda,
ReplyDeleteyou've found some really great quotes again. I think I'm very good at sensing and letting my inner child out 😊 and I've always managed to win the friendship of my cats 😻.
It's such a shame I didn't know you better when we were planning our trip to Canada; otherwise, we might have made it to Quebec too. But even when we decided to finally take a vacation to Canada, we knew that the country is far too big to even come close to visiting all the provinces or seeing everything that interested us. So we had to pick out a few highlights. And we really enjoyed the ride. I don't know if we'll ever manage such a big trip again. Right now, we're really enjoying being at home. (Austria is so beautiful, too 🤩.)
All the best from here, Traude
Such lovely quotes of children but it is concerning that in today's world far too many children face a harsh life.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes!
ReplyDeleteSunny side eggs are pretty much the only kind I tolerate. ;)
Hi Linda, I know this song by Jim "Welcome to my world", it is a very soothing song with nice lyrics!
ReplyDeleteBom dia minha querida amiga Linda. Gostei de todas as reflexões. Obrigado pelo comentário no meu Blogger. Aproveito para desejar um excelente sábado. Grande abraço do seu amigo do Brasil.
ReplyDeleteYour collection today feels like a gentle reset button. The mix of childlike wisdom, tender animal moments, and reminders to slow down creates such a peaceful pause in the middle of a busy week. I especially loved the thread running through so many of these quotes about curiosity, presence, and letting ourselves feel things honestly. Your breakfast looked wonderfully simple and satisfying too, the kind that makes the whole morning feel grounded. This was a lovely visit.
ReplyDeleteAs Crianças são Mestres na Escola dos idosos. Ambos aprendem em ritmos diferentes uma mesma lição. Uns, ganham mais que outros, mas tornem a felicidade real.
ReplyDeleteBeijo,
SOL da Esteva

Buonasera Linda dal Canada Oh apprezzato molto tutte le tue foto Ma il traduttore è piuttosto impacciato Grazie di essere passato da me e spero di poter tornare a trovarti Buon San Valentino
