The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone on Saturday, April 18th. You can click on any image to see a larger view. This first photo is a tree...blowing in the wind. I have no idea what kind of tree it is, but it is pretty.
I thought the sky was beautiful and decided to take this photo.
My new pair of Skechers! I purchased them a couple of weeks ago. They are wide, which I like, and very comfortable. They are the slip-ins (slip-ons?) This is the first time I have purchased this brand and I am absolutely thrilled with them!
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done in Europe! As I have mentioned before and this is for those who are new to my blog and may not know this, most of these Just for Laughs Gags are done here in Montreal, which is their headquarters and where these gags began! They have traveled to different countries on occasion to do their gags, and this is one of those times. Enjoy! :
Cat asks mom to train on the treadmill daily :) (The Dodo)
Wild fish follows his diver best friend everywhere (The Dodo)
Someday we'll be Together - Diana Ross and the Supremes (The Ed Sullivan Show)
The long and winding road (The Beatles)

Hello Linda Yes, your first meme definitely had the awwww factor :) I did enjoy your photographs. Many of my friends like Skechers, I haven't yet tried them.
I agree with you Linda that the first pic is cuteness overload! Definitely one with the awwww factor as you said! Oh, your shoes look very comfy. Very nice!
The sky is beautiful, and looks very cold. Once you buy slip-ons, you'll never go back to tying laces. I wish we had them when we visited Japan where shoes have to be removed in so many places.
I really like the one about not blooming all year long and the one about not raising yourself up by putting others down. The sky shot is so pretty! I like the wide toed shoes too and those sketchers slip ons are nice!
dear linda. morning greetings from kuala lumpur. today, my faculty is having earth day mini celebration so we are planting some flower trees and other small trees somewhere around here. anyway, i'm so excited to see your new pair of skechers!! i will write an entry about my new skechers too! i ended up buying it because the shoes that I bought the other day are not so comfy to have a long walk, if i may ask, how much is your skechers? in Malaysia, the price is not really cheap but still affordable...anyway for today, i choose this quote: Follow your heart. Live in the moment. Choose happiness. Always be kind... take care dear linda!
Boa noite minha querida amiga Linda. A reflexão que eu mais gostei: "Continue. Você está crescendo de maneiras que não consegue ver e progredindo e progredindo mesmo que não pareça". Uma excelente noite de quarta-feira, grande abraço do seu amigo brasileiro.
Slow living quotes Embrace simplicity. Find your rhythm. Practice mindfulness. Spend more time in nature. Savor the moment. Take it easy. Enjoy simple pleasures. Live intentionally. This is becoming my mantra.
Skechers have saved my walking life, Linda. They are the most reliable shoe I've ever owned and I treasure the support they've given me physically, and I'm so grateful for God's spiritual support that bolsters and gives strength to every aspect of my being. Blessings!
Awww, sweet kitty! And to trust and love, dear friend Linda. Yes, when reflecting... I was strong quite often.... three times with success. Twice I lost. If I ever get to London again... I am warned! And awwww, cats! And I never thought fish pick friends! Much love and warm hugs on the way on this cold, grey day!
Hello Linda, yes, it's always a good idea to slow down. Caring is fundamental! That tree does look interesting! I'm glad you found comfy shoes. I need a pair as well. Have a lovely day. ((hugs))
Good morning, I'm reading interesting sayings and listening to the Beatles, a great start to the day, I'll have my morning coffee and then I'll go to the garden - I have a lot of work to do today: sowing flowers, mowing, trimming hedges, mulching the beds where I'll plant tomatoes and similar vegetables...
Thank you for these wonderful quotes and funny videos! Your shoes look comfortable too; I need new ones as well! The sky photo is just as beautiful as the tree. Have a lovely week, Linda! Warm regards, Elke
Hello Linda, Wonderful quotes, I like the slow living quotes. Your photos are pretty and I like your walking shoes. They look comfy. The Beatles songs are always a favorite of mine. Take care, have a great day!
The first kittie is so cuteee - yes I want to play with your box :D Vincent van Goat hehehe Here in Portugal we have a joke: The cop pulled me over "Didn't you see the stop sign?" "Yes, officer I did. I didn't see was you Sir" :D Time does take it all. Let's make the most of life. The photo of the tree is lovely! Have a great weekend!
Such a lovely and uplifting post. I really enjoy how you blend simple thoughts with a sense of warmth and positivity- It feels like a gentle reminder to notice the little smiles in everyday life.
I am familiar with some of these websites and I always enjoy reading the cuteness they post. These are very uplifting to read..especially sine the weather is gloomy outside...Thanks alway Linda for all of the cuteness on your blog..
Dear Linda, the tree and the sky photos that you took are really serene and calming to the mind. Thank you 🫂 The brand of your shoes is a good brand. I used to own a pair. The colour you chose look very prim and proper. 👍 Have a good Thursday 💕
Muchas gracias por toda la información que nos facilitas. Buenas tardes. En Cataluña (Spain) hoy se celebra la fiesta Sant Jordi donde todo el mundo se regala una rosa 🌹 y un libro 📖📚. Saludos
Excellent selection of interesting and wise quotes. My favorite was "Follow your heart. Live in the moment. Choose happiness. Always be kind." Your photos are very beautiful and the videos fantastic! Warm hugs
Oh, I just love that first picture of the kitty offering its box! I showed it to my daughter, too. So often, if I'm having a bad day, she will ask if I'd like a hug.
Querida Linda, adorável suas postagens! Destaco a de Steven Wright, Vida Natural, é a pura verdade! A do cachorrinho / Gotas Brilhantes, O tempo leva tudo...ótima, verdade! Está na hora do Desapego! Na verdade eu adorei todas, não quero ser injusta com os outros pensamentos! 😅☺️🙋♀️ Um feliz fim de semana! Beijinhos, amiga.
Loved this so much. Loved the black cat on the treadmill. Reminds me of my kitty Blackie. But then I watched Diana Ross and the Supremes, and oh, how that took me back...and as if that wasn't enough, I watched the Beatles singing The Long and Winding Road (I found another video showing them singing) and I almost started crying. I was a teen when they became popular, but then they kind of changed as I matured and I wasn't as big of a fan of their later stuff, but still, I loved them for old time's sake. This really took me back. Thank you. Sometimes it's good to be reminded of where you've been and be thankful for where you are now. I love your new Skechers. That's the only shoe I can wear, and I just started wearing the wide ones and they feel so much better. The "slip-ins" are the best. Great post. Thank you.
Vincent Van Goat made me smile. The reminder about not lifting yourself up by putting others down really resonated. The sky shot is gorgeous. Those wide-toed Skechers slip-ons look so comfy.
TQ linda for dropping comment at my blog to respond to my question. I tried to convert to MYR (ringgit malaysia), it is around RM290 ie similar to range of price in Malaysia. Anyway, I made entries about my new skechers shoes today ;) i mentioned you in my entry ;) take care dear linda. sending warmest regards from afar
Dear Linda :) I have been meaning to buy a pair of Skechers, they look so comfy and are easy to slip into. The kitty in your first photo is so sweet and the fish in the video clip is amazing. Thank you also for the music clips Linda, they bring back happy memories. All the best and be well Sonjia
Destacare lo que mas me gusto; el gatito de la primera foto por la expresión, esa frase que nos dice que para enaltecernos no debemos menospreciar a los demás y los videos del guardia ingles y el gato de la cinta andadora. El resto de las frases como siempre magnificas así que a felicitarte por el esfuerzo en buscarlas. Sobre la anchura de tus zapatos decir que yo también debo usar hormas anchas o como me ocurrió en una ocasión que revente las zapatillas.
Bom dia, Linda Você tira ótimas fotos no celular, a foto do céu está belíssima. Abraçar a simplicidade é um rico aprendizado. O gato na esteira é muito fofo. Bjs, querida.
Hello and thank you VERY much for the visit at my bloggie I am a loving Tuxedo older kitty of 19 years now. But I am still Lady of the House. I enjoyed visiting you today.
i'm dropping by here on saturday morning. i cooked simple dish for breakfast today (fried vermicilli), and in the afternoon, my family and i plan to attend a wedding as my colleague's son is getting married. it is a hot bright day today, sunny indeed. anyway, there's a blogger friend named melody dropped by at my blog and i think she is one if your blog's visitors. for today, i choose this quotes: Embrace simplicity. Find your rhythm. Practice mindfulness. Spend more time in nature. Savor the moment. Take it easy. Enjoy simple pleasures. Live intentionally!
Your mix of gentle humor, uplifting quotes, and sweet animal moments creates such a warm pause in the day, and I love how you balance lighthearted smiles with those reminders to slow down and be kind to ourselves; the tree photo has such a peaceful feel with that soft sky behind it, and your new Skechers look wonderfully comfortable, the kind of shoes that make every step easier, while the kitten offering its box absolutely melted me and set the perfect tone for everything that followed.
Happy Saturday, Linda! The little kitty certainly has an awwww factor. Just darling. I'm trying to work on slow living, but it's hard. This week, for as long as I can remember, I actually had a clear calendar with nothing on it. The only thing I need to do is run to Target and pick up a prescription and some Half and Half. I have no idea when a week like this will happen again. 😂 I always enjoy your memes and videos. That black cat on the treadmill was an inspiration. After my long cold, I need to hit the treadmill again. I hope next week will be a good one for you, and I'll try to remember your new posting days. ❤️🌺❤️
Dear Linda, I am back. Just like to let you know, I am busy so when I did not comment in your blog posts for a long time, it is not that I am judging you base on any personal things that you shared. You don't worry. We have multiple blogger friends, so we cannot possibly comment on each and every blogger's posts. So don't think too much. By the way how is the weather over at Montreal for the month of April, coming May? All your regular posts are lovely and make my day, it's a pity I cannot visit you here regularly. It is Sunday over at Singapore. Till then, take care.
Hi Lotus, nice to see you. The weather here is slowly getting warmer. I take it one day at a time and don't mind the cooler temperatures we have been having. I hope you have a great wee ahead. Thanks so much for stopping by.
I’m really sorry to hear that you’re going through this, but I truly admire your strength and openness in sharing your journey. Please take things one day at a time and be gentle with yourself—your well-being matters most. Sending you warmth, patience, and healing thoughts while you wait for your appointment. And honestly, cutting down sugar is no small challenge, so I wish you the best with that too. Thank you for always sharing your space with us, and I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts.💚
Those look like such a great choice! I’ve heard really good things about Skechers, especially their slip-ins..comfort really makes all the difference...
You always find such great words of wisdom. Today I got lots of enjoyment from the guard scaring the passer bye and also the diver and the fish. On a more serious note, I also read your more recent post and hope you can get into a doctor soon so this can be investigated. Good luck!
I hope you get to see the gastroenterologist soon. ~hugs~ My husband goes for a colonoscopy tomorrow. I'm up next year. Oh, joy. ~giggle~ Thank you for the shoe review following all the great quotes, photos, and videos.
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit me and for your comments. Please use words and not only emoticons. All comments are moderated to deter spam, so for this reason comments will not appear immediately.

I did enjoy your photographs.
Many of my friends like Skechers, I haven't yet tried them.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
All the best Jan
I agree with you Linda that the first pic is cuteness overload! Definitely one with the awwww factor as you said! Oh, your shoes look very comfy. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteVincent van Goat... *groan*
ReplyDeleteHow can anyone resist an adorable little baby kitty? They are so sweet and tiny.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
The sky is beautiful, and looks very cold.
ReplyDeleteOnce you buy slip-ons, you'll never go back to tying laces. I wish we had them when we visited Japan where shoes have to be removed in so many places.
I know a lot of people (both female and male) who swear by Sketchers, but they're too wide for my feet.
ReplyDeleteMy Skechers are great. Boots and slipons. I like Skechers a lot. And the little kitty offering her box to play with! Awww.
ReplyDeleteI really like the one about not blooming all year long and the one about not raising yourself up by putting others down.
ReplyDeleteThe sky shot is so pretty!
I like the wide toed shoes too and those sketchers slip ons are nice!

ReplyDeleteI love the slow living quotes. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday, Linda! The little kitty certainly has an awwww factor. Just darling. I'm trying to work on slow living, but it's hard. This week, for as long as I can remember, I actually had a clear calendar with nothing on it. The only thing I need to do is run to Target and pick up a prescription and some Half and Half. I have no idea when a week like this will happen again. 😂 I always enjoy your memes and videos. That black cat on the treadmill was an inspiration. After my long cold, I need to hit the treadmill again. I hope next week will be a good one for you, and I'll try to remember your new posting days. ❤️🌺❤️
ReplyDeleteThat first one made me smile and the dog with the donut is so funny. Have a great day.

DeleteThat is a very pretty tree. I like the two shades of green.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the sky as well.

ReplyDeleteYou always find such great words of wisdom. Today I got lots of enjoyment from the guard scaring the passer bye and also the diver and the fish. On a more serious note, I also read your more recent post and hope you can get into a doctor soon so this can be investigated. Good luck!
