Your feelings are valid. You have the right to feel whatever you feel. You aren't exaggerating. You aren't being too sensitive. You aren't being dramatic. You're hurting, and that's okay.

The following photo is my own, which I took with my cellphone. You can click on the image to see a larger view. This is a micro fiber cloth for cleaning eyeglasses or anything you need to clean. I love the cats on it. :)
The following are two more YouTube channel recommendations. As with the others that I have shared, I will give you the title of the YouTube channel with a brief description on what the channel is about.
1. Scripture Rebuilt
This YouTube channel kind of brings Bible stories to life. You'd have to check it out to see what I mean, it's hard for me to describe. If you are a christian and/or are interested in stories from the Bible, please feel free to check this channel out.
2. Natural Sound
This YouTube channel is one that has plenty of beautiful videos with scenes of nature, some accompanied with the sounds of birds singing and soft piano music, others may have the sounds of gentle rain. If you want to relax, decompress, take your mind off things that may be making you sad or nervous, these videos can help.
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy! :)

It's important to encourage people, and to let them be themselves! I like your eyeglass cleaner cloth with the cats on it. Very cheerful. Have a great week, Linda.
morning greeting from kuala lumpur. today is a quiet day as i don't have class today but need to attend a talk (work-related). for today, i choose this quote : Each day comes bearing its gifts. Untie the ribbon... anyway, dear linda..what's the season now in montreal? is it spring? as i see cherry blossom season in japan now (my nephew and some of my friends are in tokyo for holiday). i really miss all the daffodils when i was staying in nottingham in 2010 (16 years ago). spring is also lovely and colourful. take care dear linda! have a blissful monday!
I love that little pattern. How cute is that!!! Have you ever been to the Calmed by Nature YT channel? Some really neat images. When I'm snugged on the couch reading. Sometimes I'll have the sound and often I will not. I just like the fun. And at Halloween time too.
Many excellent quotes here--one of my favorites is "you run the day or the day runs you." I tend to forget that I can make decisions and choices to do or not do something.
