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!
We are all in this life together. Be kind!
Disengage from situations, people and news that don't add joy, calm and support to your life. - Georgia LaCroix
You do not just wake up and become the butterfly. Growth is a process. - Rupi Kaur
Learn to trust the journey even if you do not understand it. Sometimes what you never wanted or expected turns out to be what you need.
Stop asking: why is this happening to me?
Start asking: how might I learn and grow from this?
If it's challenging you, testing you and pushing you...it's helping you become more of who you're meant to be. - Mandy Hale
Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds.
Like a wild flower, she spent her days allowing herself to grow, not many know of her struggle, but eventually all knew of her light. - Nikki Rowe
Embrace the beauty that blooms in the simplest things.
If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.
We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty. - Seneca
Reader's Digest
Sometimes your happy ending is finding the strength to move on. - Nitya Prakash
The road ahead may be long and winding, but you'll make it there safe and sound.
Hang on! There are better days ahead.
The world you see is created by what you focus on. It's never too late to adjust your lens.
The secret to getting ahead is getting started. - Mark Twain
When you're hitting the wall, focus on one brick. - Anonymous
Just a little reminder that you don't have to make resolutions or huge decisions or big proclamations. You can just set some sweet intentions and take each day as it comes. - Victoria Erickson
The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone on Thursday, April 23rd. I came across this cross and decided to take this photo. It was a gorgeous day...cool, sunny and perfect for walking! You can click on any image to see a larger view.
This is a statue in front of a Catholic church.
Same statue as in the photo above; however, this time you can see the left tower of the church behind it, so this photo is at a slightly different angle. Note how beautiful and blue the sky is!!! As well, they are doing some work on the right tower, which is why it looks kind of ugly. :)
These last photos are ones I took in a shopping mall! Yes, they had a stunning display that I enjoyed so much and wanted to share! 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! :)
Cat visits the library so often, he now has his own library card - A Montreal Story! (CTV News) :)
Great Pyrenees walks himself to CVS (The Dodo)
Kentucky Rain - Elvis Presley
What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong (original spoken intro version)

"Gatto non grata!" I love that video about the Library Cat. And oh no, banned from the Yacht Club! Hahahahaha.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy your photographs, the colours in them are so beautiful.
From blue skies to beautiful blooms and more ...
The Louis Armstrong video was wonderful.
I enjoyed the spoken word and the song ... very special.
All the best Jan
So many amazing photos and memes. Always have time for Louis Armstrong.
ReplyDeleteYou really do find the best memes. So many good ones today that I can't even choose a favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos too, the mall is beautiful. And Louis Armstrong is the best - that's one of my favorite songs.
My favorite this time is "Sometimes your happy ending is finding the strength to move on." My happy ending was getting divorced. I love the dog going to CVS. Princess loves to ride along for the drive-through at Walgreen's. The people inside and the drawer opening and going back in are sources of endless fascination to her. Thank you for your visits to my blog. You are such a sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
The "Be Kind" sentiment is one that is all over the schools these days.
ReplyDeleteI love the dog and cat videos, and you can never go wrong with Elvis and Louis :-)
ReplyDeleteThe shopping centre roof does look amazing, with a nice fountain and flowers too.
ReplyDeleteI can see some very relieved people in the ATM gag when they find out they haven't lost money.
...yes, weather we like it or not,we all hjave a connection. Being kind is a huge first step!!!
