Here are today's selections, which I hope will brighten your day!

Being a good person does not depend on your religion, status in life, skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how you treat others.

The following photos are my own, which I took on March 16th at a delicatessen. Yes, I had breakfast out on that day...smoked salmon, 2 sunny side up eggs and very little potatoes, coffee and water. I really don't eat much but I try my best to eat healthy.
Warning....these photos are selfies, which I took in two different ways. The first one I took through a mirror and the second normally. You can click on any image to see a larger view. Please note that I am camera shy and not photogenic! A friend of mine whom I showed these photos to likes them and says I look very good. So I decided to share them with you all.
This last, but certainly not least, photo is of my beloved father. I was very close to my father, he was a strict, but very kind and gentle, caring man! This is the last known photo of my father before he died. This photo was taken in June, 1984, two months before my father passed...of a heart attack. He was only 64. I was only 27. I took this photo from a hospital ID card that he had, and I have kept this all these years. I still miss him. Please note that he had very little gray hair at 64!
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal! Enjoy! :)

Those are excellent photos of you! I always wonder what other bloggers look like. It helps me to put a face with a name/blog. Your father has a very kind face. I'm not a patient person, nor always calm but I work on it every day. And I am kind at least!
Hello Linda! Thank you for showing your selfie. You have a kind and calm look. A friendly face I would say. I love the blouse that you wore in the selfie. Your breakfast sounds like something I would enjoy as well. Your late dad had a kind and bright smile. He does not look like a strict man at all. It's been a year since my dad passed and he too had a kind smile. Well, I have to get cracking with my work and I do hope that like your first quote "Today is going to be my peaceful day". I hope that it is for you too. Amen!
Dear Linda - I love the photos of you! I think you look very nice and I'm glad you shared them. I liked seeing your dear Dad too. He has a very kind face. My Dad passed away almost 3 years ago. He was 92 so we had many good years together, but I miss him too.
...Linda, I hope that all of your days well be peaceful days! They say that patience is a virtue, it's one virtue that I lack! Be warm and well, spring is on its way.
I'm so glad you shared your selfie. I like to visualize the blogger when I read a post so until now I couldn't imagine you. You look lovely. Also your Dad. How great to have such good memories of him. ( PS I need more patience because I'm by nature not at all that way).
I love going out to breakfast. And you just explained why one should have many pictures taken of them, even if they don't feel like they should. You never know when it'll be your last. (My mother hated having her picture taken, too. But my brother managed to get enough, so we have some of her now that she's gone.)
Hi, Linda! It's lovely to see your smiling face here in this post! You curated a great set of quotations about patience -- my faves are the ones by George Eliot and Kazuaki Tanahashi.
Patience can be a toughie, but definitely something worth striving for Thanks for sharing yourself with us. It's nice to put a face with the name and the posts:)
I like the first photo of you. It looks slightly less pose, even though it clearly was posed. Note the guy with the wild hair glasses gives nothing away as the woman shaves. I enjoyed rehearing the Flipper music, even though it sounds corny these days.
Patience is something that I find myself asking the Lord to give me more of each day, Linda. Thanks for all the positive reminders you've given us regarding this virtue. I've always loved dolphins, too!
Lots of great quotes about patience. Thanks for sharing that very nice selfie of you. It makes me feel as though I know you better. Your dad was a very nice looking man. I think you look like him.
To answer your question on my Wordless Wednesday post, that is a picture of how a battery I ordered from Amazon was delivered. Just that little battery in that big box, rattling around with no padding or anything.
Good to be reminded of the need for patience, especially since our world is becoming increasingly impatient. I am a bit impatient myself! The Shavian quote appeals to me particularly.
By the way, you look very gentle and amiable in the pic.
Oh yes, I remember Flipper :) The memes are good reading, the Just for Laughs was an odd one but entertaining, Linda. You photos, the selfies are very nice indeed and it's pleasing to see you, well done. Your dad looks a nice man too.
Dear Linda, how lovely to see you. I can tell you are a kind and sensitive person ♥ We will always miss the ones we love. I carry a picture of my mother in my purse. Have a beautiful day, hugs!
La patience s'apprend, elle s'entretien, et les animaux sont d'excellents maîtres pour nous l'enseigner. Merci pour cette jolie page. Bonne journée Linda.
Que cierto es todo esto que nos dices sobre la paciencia y aquí tenemos un dicho que así nos lo dice "vísteme despacio que tengo prisa". La definición de buena persona que nos dejas es una realidad. Creo que tienes un gran parecido a tu padre. Parece mentira que esa cara tan alegre no presagiara la tragedia que en unos mese ocurrió.
I'm so sorry about your father and I can understand how much you miss him. I'm waving to you, and that's a lovely photo of you, and it looks like you had a great breakfast. You're sharing such insightful words and videos again, thank you! Have a wonderful time! hugs Elke
My father died at 76 of heart congestion, and he only began to get many grey hair at 70. I also miss my father! "Expectations are resentments waiting to happen" caught me ny surprise! I had never thought of expectations this way! Patience is something life does teach us! Have a nice weekend!
Bom dia minha querida amiga Linda. Fico feliz em ver uma foto sua pela primeira vez. Concordo plenamente, com nossa amiga Judith. Paciência é uma grande virtude. Eu passei por um situação, muito complicada, quando o meu saudoso, pai faleceu. Eu o encontrei morto, tirei o seu cadáver da cama, com ajuda de algumas pessoas e ajudei a tirar o caixão ⚰️, de dentro de nossa própria casa. É um tipo de experiência que não desejo para ninguém. Grande abraço do seu amigo brasileiro. Um excelente dia de quinta-feira.
I love the "if we learn to enjoy waiting, we won't need to wait to enjoy" - all of these are good! Flipper! Oh, I haven't heard that theme song for a long time. Miss good ol' T.V. shows.
Dear Linda, today I definitely stay with this one: “Being a good person does not depend on your religion, status in life, skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how you treat others.”
It reminded me of a verse from the Gospel of Matthew that expresses that same idea: “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.”
I also see that you have shared several quotes about patience, and they are very good. We all need patience. It helps to calm things down, to put our uncertainties a little in order, and not to make worse what is already difficult enough. It does not always solve everything, but many times it prevents things from becoming even more unsettled. And you look wonderful in the photo.
Linda wonderful reminders regarding the "fruit of the spirit...patience..." I certainly needed these wonderful quotes. Adored the video regarding the wild dolphin and how he knew someone could help him. Such a blessing to see your face friend. Now when I come visit I will be able to picture you. Take care and have a great day. Hugs!
Thank you for the photos. I really enjoy seeing the people I communicate with. Putting a face to the words makes it more personal. I have always been patient with animals. People, not so much.
LD.....A lot of patience is good. I liked the reminding quotes from so many. Appreciated all that your shared. I do love cats but don't have any, anymore.
That sounds like a wonderful breakfast! And I loved seeing you and having a "visual" of the writer and organizer of these posts. Your father looked like a good man with a lovely smile.
My favorite today is this one..."Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worse moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come." by Robert H. Schuller. That is a great picture of you, Linda. And your father looks so young for 64 in that photo.
Hello my dear Linda. I'm really sorry about your lovely father. Keep his memory to be alive for ever near you. You look great, my dear! Keep your smile and your heart's light. Have a nice day.
Patience, dear friend Linda... I work on that...Silence I can, though. I am with you. I hate my photo getting taken! And share some anyways... hihi, hello there! My Dad died at age 65 of cancer. My Brother and I were with him in his last weeks - isn´t life just unfair?! To Max. Much love and warm hugs on the way... it was a sunny (if cool) day here.
Dear Linda, your friend is absolutely right. You look very nice in both your photos. Thank you for sharing them with us. You must treasure this photo of your father very much as it was his last known photo. Please take good care 🙏 💕
Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worse moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come. - Robert H. Schuller
The above is my favorite today. Thank you. I am so happy you shared YOU! I love your smile. Thank you for sharing your memories of your father with us. xo Carla
Good morning Linda rise and shine and give God the glory glory. You look graceful and lovely. I always believe that it is the inner beauty that counts, as long as you have a good and kind heart. I love salmon too, it is expensive fish, but it does have omega three which is good for your heart health. May God bless your day ahead. Sending love all the way to Canada to you. I had been to the capital Vancouver and Mount whistler before and I saw shop theft at Vancouver lol.
I love "Always say "my peace is more important? when you find yourself reacting to something that doesn't deserve your energy. - Idi Ahmed" One I am working on lol and patience yes so important. Love to see your photo Linda and the photo of your dad.
Same as you, I was closer to my Dad too and he died of heart attack, luckily his stay in the hospital was a short one that at least he did not suffer too long.
Lindo, to musela být moc dobrá snídaně, když ses pak takto vyfotila a to jsi udělala moc dobře, vypadáš moc hezky a také halenka ti sluší. Moc děkuji, že jsi se nám takto představila a také foto tvého tatínka ukazuje muže příjemného a veselého. Kdo ztratil rodiče, většinou mu hodně chybí a to je i můj případ.
Dear linda.greetings from kelantan, malaysia❤️i'm back in my hometown to celebrate muslim eid festival tomorrow with my mom and my big family.my mom is already 84 years old. I'm so elated to see your selfie picture.u are indeed a gorgeous lady!! Your late father is charming too!! Loving all the quotes that u share today, about patience. Indeed it is a virtue!! Till then, take care dear linda😍🥰🤩⚘️
Olá, Linda, muito instrutiva essa sua excelente postagem. Falar em paciência é uma ajuda para todos. Mostrar tantos pensamentos sobre paciência, ajuda muito mais. Emociona a lembrança de seu querido pai. Parabéns pela excelente postagem! Votos de um bom final de semana, com muita saúde e paz.
Thanks for directing me to this post that I missed this week. It is nice to put a face with the blog!! You DO look great!! Sending a hug. I will get caught up and stay that way!! xo
Dear Linda, I agree with Bill on pacience. It's the capacity to tolerate problems without becoming annoyed. Beautiful photo of you, Linda. Have a lovely day.
You look lovely in both pictures, I like your hairdo. I think every day is a peaceful day for cats LOL except when February comes, that is when all kinds of hell unleash!
Hi Linda. Thanks for the nice post.Yes Patience is Power. Nice photos of you and your Dad. I'm sorry that you lost him so young. Both my parents are gone. They were both born in 1909. Happy Spring xo Thelma.
Your reflections on patience feel especially grounding today. I like how you gathered so many perspectives, each one touching a different facet of what it means to slow down, breathe, and respond with intention. Your photos add such a warm, personal note to the post, and seeing your father’s picture alongside your own makes the whole entry feel deeply human. His gentle expression explains so much about the kindness you share here.
Patience if power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is 'timing'. It waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way. - Fulton J. Sheen
I am pretty patient in most areas but if I can't understand something that is when I loose it :( Those are great pictures of you, nice to see what you look like :) I am not a big breakfast out eater, although I do go out with the girls once a month, if the weather is descent :) Hope you are enjoying a nice weekend!
Dear Linda, I truly love your photos, especially the one taken in the mirror. You come across as such a warm, joyful, and kind person. You and your dad are very similar; besides that, you both have the same facial expression. What you wrote about him was really beautiful and touching. His sincere smile in the photo says so much — it’s clear he was a truly wonderful person.
Oi, Linda! Adorei vê-la através de suas fotos. Paciência é uma virtude e quem a tem sabe esperar o momento certo pra todas as coisas da vida. Beijos! (●ˇ∀ˇ●)
Hi Linda, today finally got the time to go through each and every quote and illustration you shared on top. I like the theme today, patience and character. It is Sunday weekend mid afternoon 4pm in Singapore now. Guess you are in Lala land over at Canada.
The quote by Fulton Sheen is sooo true! Patience is a willing choice to wait for the right time to act, the right way to act, and the right principles. Put that way, it should appeal to more people who struggle with the word, “Patience.”
Thanks for including the quote by Rick Warren. He is one of my favorite pastors that I follow, a pastor of great wisdom who has helped me greatly.
Your father was a very handsome man. You inherited his good looks!
Boa tarde, minha querida amiga Linda. Esses palhaços, foram feitos, com peças de reciclagem. Aproveito para desejar, uma excelente primavera, em Montreal. Grande abraço do seu amigo brasileiro. Infelizmente, minha mãe, ainda não fez a cirurgia de catarata, do olho direito. Está com um pequena, infecção nas pálpebras. Mais será no tempo de Deus.
Hello, Linda! I am finally getting around to reading more posts from this past week, and I am so happy you let me know about this one in particular. I LOVE seeing the "selfie" of you, and also the very dear picture of your father. I know we most likely will never be able to meet in person, (unless you want to come to Florida to excape winter sometime!), so it is really nice to actually see you 'face to face' here. I enjoy your posts so much...they show that you put a lot of extra effort into finding just the right pictures/quotes to go with your theme, and they are always so encouraging. I especially love the cat pictures, now that I have become a 'cat mom". LOL. I am learing so much about cats now, things I never knew before, and it is very enlightening! Thank you again for writing and sharing more about yourself. I hope you are feeling better also. have a blessed rest of your weekend and a new week beginning tomorrow. Happy Springtime!
What a lovely picture of you Linda! SO nice to see your face. It always makes these long distance conversations and emails so much more personal! Happy Spring my friend!!
since i happen to revisit this entry, i choose this quote : Two things define you: your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything. take care dear linda!
It's lovely to see you, Linda. Your friend was right; you do look good. :) Patience is a virtue, isn't it? Thank you for sharing the photo of your father; he was a handsome man. My father died when I was 7; he was in his early 50s.

ReplyDeleteLots of great quotes about patience.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that very nice selfie of you. It makes me feel as though I know you better.

How great to see you, Linda, as well as your late father. I love smoked salmon too. Great sayings about patience. The FB/Hugsandkisses is so true.

ReplyDeleteGood to be reminded of the need for patience, especially since our world is becoming increasingly impatient. I am a bit impatient myself! The Shavian quote appeals to me particularly.

ReplyDeleteYou're sharing such insightful words and videos again, thank you!
Have a wonderful time! hugs Elke
My father died at 76 of heart congestion, and he only began to get many grey hair at 70. I also miss my father!
ReplyDelete"Expectations are resentments waiting to happen" caught me ny surprise! I had never thought of expectations this way!
Patience is something life does teach us!
Have a nice weekend!
Thanks for reminding me about Flipper. I loved the show as a child.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteLovely selfies, it is nice to see you! Patience and peace are both good words. Great quotes! Take care, have a great day!
How lovely to see your face. I have truckloads of patience.
ReplyDeleteGood selfies Linda, great to see you :-D And love these quotes :-D
ReplyDeleteBom dia minha querida amiga Linda. Fico feliz em ver uma foto sua pela primeira vez. Concordo plenamente, com nossa amiga Judith. Paciência é uma grande virtude. Eu passei por um situação, muito complicada, quando o meu saudoso, pai faleceu. Eu o encontrei morto, tirei o seu cadáver da cama, com ajuda de algumas pessoas e ajudei a tirar o caixão ⚰️, de dentro de nossa própria casa. É um tipo de experiência que não desejo para ninguém. Grande abraço do seu amigo brasileiro. Um excelente dia de quinta-feira.
ReplyDeleteUm excelente dia de quinta-feira.
ReplyDeletePatience is something will all need. Great post and videos. Nice selfies.
ReplyDeleteThose are great photos of you and your dad. My hair turned gray in my 40's. Probably from not having enough patience!
ReplyDeleteI love the "if we learn to enjoy waiting, we won't need to wait to enjoy" - all of these are good! Flipper! Oh, I haven't heard that theme song for a long time. Miss good ol' T.V. shows.
ReplyDeletePatience is something i don't always have a lot of. I think the photos of you are very nice. I'm glad you shared them.
ReplyDeleteNice photo of your dad.
Dear Linda, today I definitely stay with this one: “Being a good person does not depend on your religion, status in life, skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how you treat others.”

Hola, Linda. Hoy nos has dado sabios consejos sobre la paciencia. Siento la perdida de tu padre a una edad bastante joven. Besos
ReplyDeleteThanks to your post my words today shall be "peace" and "patience".
ReplyDeleteLinda wonderful reminders regarding the "fruit of the spirit...patience..." I certainly needed these wonderful quotes. Adored the video regarding the wild dolphin and how he knew someone could help him. Such a blessing to see your face friend. Now when I come visit I will be able to picture you.

Preciso constantemente exercitar a minha paciência. Há um tempo certo pra cada coisa.
ReplyDeleteBelas fotos.
Prazer conhecê-la por imagem.
Hello my dear Linda. I'm really sorry about your lovely father. Keep his memory to be alive for ever near you. You look great, my dear! Keep your smile and your heart's light.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
Spring will come. EVERYTIME.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I have little patience; things always have to be quick for me ! My father was a macho, our relationship was not so good.
ReplyDeletePatience, dear friend Linda... I work on that...Silence I can, though.
ReplyDeleteI am with you. I hate my photo getting taken! And share some anyways... hihi, hello there!
My Dad died at age 65 of cancer. My Brother and I were with him in his last weeks - isn´t life just unfair?!
To Max. Much love and warm hugs on the way... it was a sunny (if cool) day here.
Dear Linda, your friend is absolutely right. You look very nice in both your photos. Thank you for sharing them with us. You must treasure this photo of your father very much as it was his last known photo. Please take good care 🙏 💕
ReplyDeleteNever cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worse moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come. - Robert H. Schuller

I am so happy you shared YOU! I love your smile.

Delightful post. But that first picture and thought is absolutely amazing to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice lady I see, Linda!
ReplyDeleteAnd a good gag!
Lie(f)s.
Lovely to see you 😻😻 what a beautiful post too. Always so wonderful visiting your blog.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Linda rise and shine and give God the glory glory. You look graceful and lovely.

ReplyDeleteI love "Always say "my peace is more important? when you find yourself reacting to something that doesn't deserve your energy. - Idi Ahmed" One I am working on lol and patience yes so important. Love to see your photo Linda and the photo of your dad.
ReplyDeleteSame as you, I was closer to my Dad too and he died of heart attack, luckily his stay in the hospital was a short one that at least he did not suffer too long.
ReplyDeletePatience I think is something we can all have more of. :)
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see a picture of you. :)
Good to see you in those selfies!!
ReplyDeleteLindo, to musela být moc dobrá snídaně, když ses pak takto vyfotila a to jsi udělala moc dobře, vypadáš moc hezky a také halenka ti sluší. Moc děkuji, že jsi se nám takto představila a také foto tvého tatínka ukazuje muže příjemného a veselého. Kdo ztratil rodiče, většinou mu hodně chybí a to je i můj případ.

ReplyDelete"Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thank you for sharing, Linda!! Have a blessed night!
Thanks for visiting my humble blog. I hope you are doing well there.
ReplyDeleteYou are a cutie and I love that you shared your selfie with us. I am sorry you lost your dad at 27. It's heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Linda! have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteToday I walk away with this one: If we learn to enjoy waiting, we don't have to wait to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the other gems.
Love your selfie, so gorgeous! Your smile is radiant

Anna
Thank you for so many lovely thoughts and quotes
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful reminder—patience truly shapes who we are and helps us grow into stronger, kinder versions of ourselves. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteKisses
Dear Linda, I agree with Bill on pacience. It's the capacity to tolerate problems without becoming annoyed.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of you, Linda.
Have a lovely day.
You look lovely in both pictures, I like your hairdo.
ReplyDeleteI think every day is a peaceful day for cats LOL except when February comes, that is when all kinds of hell unleash!
Aww. Such a nice photo of your father. Bless him.
ReplyDeleteAnd nice to see you too. :)
Precioso todo, amiga... Ay, la paciencia, que bella virtud...
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
"Expectations are resentments waiting to happen." - OMG it is so true!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePatience gives a lot of fruits.
ReplyDeleteGreat post
Thanks for the lovely quotes and the selfies are so sweet too!
ReplyDeleteGreat selfies! So many good quotes today, several of them really touched me. Thanks for sharing and I hope you're enjoying a great day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for brightening my day, and nice to see you!
ReplyDeletePatience is a great gift! Thanks Linda!
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful and fun videos too!
ReplyDeleteLove the George Eliot Quote. Have a wondrous weekend.
ReplyDeleteDalam kehidupan ini..sabar adalah kunci yang paling utama..tidak boleh tidak mesti banyak bersabar agar hati lebih tenang
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. Thanks for the nice post.Yes Patience is Power. Nice photos of you and your Dad. I'm sorry that you lost him so young. Both my parents are gone. They were both born in 1909. Happy Spring xo Thelma.
ReplyDeleteYour reflections on patience feel especially grounding today. I like how you gathered so many perspectives, each one touching a different facet of what it means to slow down, breathe, and respond with intention. Your photos add such a warm, personal note to the post, and seeing your father’s picture alongside your own makes the whole entry feel deeply human. His gentle expression explains so much about the kindness you share here.
ReplyDeletePatience is so important but often hard to develop. Thanks for the inspirational quotes. Love them all.
ReplyDeletePatience if power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is 'timing'. It waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way. - Fulton J. Sheen
ReplyDeleteI wish my daughter could learn patience more.
I loved seeing (?) a photo of you! And your dad.
I am pretty patient in most areas but if I can't understand something that is when I loose it :(
ReplyDeleteThose are great pictures of you, nice to see what you look like :) I am not a big breakfast out eater, although I do go out with the girls once a month, if the weather is descent :) Hope you are enjoying a nice weekend!
Your photo is lovely! You are a lovely person, Linda.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, peaceful post! Thank you for sharing and for the touching memory of your father🩵
ReplyDeletePatience is sometimes hard to have.
ReplyDeleteI liked the pictures of you. I loved that you shared them, it's nice to see you.
Very nice your photos, and great quotes too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Greetings
Dear Linda,
ReplyDeleteI truly love your photos, especially the one taken in the mirror. You come across as such a warm, joyful, and kind person. You and your dad are very similar; besides that, you both have the same facial expression.
What you wrote about him was really beautiful and touching. His sincere smile in the photo says so much — it’s clear he was a truly wonderful person.
Oi, Linda! Adorei vê-la através de suas fotos. Paciência é uma virtude e quem a tem sabe esperar o momento certo pra todas as coisas da vida. Beijos! (●ˇ∀ˇ●)
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, today finally got the time to go through each and every quote and illustration you shared on top. I like the theme today, patience and character. It is Sunday weekend mid afternoon 4pm in Singapore now. Guess you are in Lala land over at Canada.
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope that today will be my peaceful day!
ReplyDeleteThe quote by Fulton Sheen is sooo true! Patience is a willing choice to wait for the right time to act, the right way to act, and the right principles. Put that way, it should appeal to more people who struggle with the word, “Patience.”
ReplyDeleteThanks for including the quote by Rick Warren. He is one of my favorite pastors that I follow, a pastor of great wisdom who has helped me greatly.
Your father was a very handsome man. You inherited his good looks!
Hallo Linda,
ReplyDeleteGeduld ist kein Warten auf das Richtige, sondern das Vertrauen, dass etwas wächst, auch wenn man es noch nicht sieht.
I have to admit that I'm not always patient enough, I'm trying to fix that, but I'm getting old and I don't have the patience for many things anymore.
ReplyDeleteBoa tarde, minha querida amiga Linda. Esses palhaços, foram feitos, com peças de reciclagem. Aproveito para desejar, uma excelente primavera, em Montreal. Grande abraço do seu amigo brasileiro. Infelizmente, minha mãe, ainda não fez a cirurgia de catarata, do olho direito. Está com um pequena, infecção nas pálpebras. Mais será no tempo de Deus.
ReplyDeleteHello, Linda! I am finally getting around to reading more posts from this past week, and I am so happy you let me know about this one in particular. I LOVE seeing the "selfie" of you, and also the very dear picture of your father. I know we most likely will never be able to meet in person, (unless you want to come to Florida to excape winter sometime!), so it is really nice to actually see you 'face to face' here. I enjoy your posts so much...they show that you put a lot of extra effort into finding just the right pictures/quotes to go with your theme, and they are always so encouraging. I especially love the cat pictures, now that I have become a 'cat mom". LOL. I am learing so much about cats now, things I never knew before, and it is very enlightening! Thank you again for writing and sharing more about yourself. I hope you are feeling better also. have a blessed rest of your weekend and a new week beginning tomorrow. Happy Springtime!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture of you Linda! SO nice to see your face. It always makes these long distance conversations and emails so much more personal! Happy Spring my friend!!
ReplyDeleteIntento tener paciencia, pero a veces se pierde. Encantada de verte. Besos.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely putting today’s energy into staying calm and thoughtful...
ReplyDeletesince i happen to revisit this entry, i choose this quote : Two things define you: your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything. take care dear linda!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see you, Linda. Your friend was right; you do look good. :) Patience is a virtue, isn't it? Thank you for sharing the photo of your father; he was a handsome man. My father died when I was 7; he was in his early 50s.
