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 visit me here! I really appreciate you all so much! Next post will be on my blog this Sunday at 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

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


Why can't cats work on the computer? They get too distracted chasing the mouse around.  :)

                          Cool Funny Quotes


If cats could talk, they wouldn't. - Nan Porter

                            Reader's Digest


Instead of saying, "I don't want my child to be perceived as different," let's flip the script and say, "I don't want my child to feel pressured to be normal." - M.O. Kelter

                              Good Therapy


As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation - either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course. - Martin Luther King, Jr.

                              Good Therapy


Your needs are not burdensome.

                           The Latest Kate


Bad days just happen. You're not trapped. You won't always feel like this.

                             The Latest Kate


Your worth is not determined by how much you get done today.

                           The Latest Kate


Respect the old when you are young. Help the weak  when you are strong. Confess the fault when you are wrong. Because one day in life, you will be old, weak and wrong.

                        Lessons Learned in Life


Life is ironic. It takes depression to know happiness. It takes stress to understand calm. It takes absence to value presence.

                          Karen Salmansohn


The biggest lesson I learned this year is not to force anything; conversations, friendships, relationships, attention, love. Anything forced is just not worth fighting for. Whatever flows, it flows, what crashes, it crashes. It is what it is.

                                Mind Journal


You don't need a perfect life to be happy. You just need to surround yourself with people who love you for who you are.

                          Karen Salmansohn


The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. - Nelson Mandela

                                   Founder Jar


Never regret a day in your life: good days give happiness, bad days give experience, worst days give lessons and best days give memories. - Unknown

                              Grateful Gnome


7 Rules of Life. 

Let it go. Ignore them. Give it time. Don't compare. Stay calm. It's on you. Always smile.

                               Mind Journal


You can't lose what you never had, you can't keep what's not yours and you can't hold on to something that doesn't want to stay. - Unknown

                             Grateful Gnome


Sometimes life has to turn you upside down so you can learn how to live more right side up.

                          Karen Salmansohn


Everyone enjoys being acknowledged and appreciated. Sometimes even the simplest act of gratitude can change someone's entire day. Take the time to recognize and value the people around you and appreciate those who make a difference in your lives. - Roy T. Bennett

             Di Riseborough, Intuitive Life Strategist


Balance isn't fitting everything in. It's starting with what's most important and letting the rest fall as it will.
          Di Riseborough, Intuitive Life Strategist


The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone on May 18th. This was after some rain we got. These are beautiful lilacs! I must state that sadly, as soon as the heat and humidity strike here in Montreal, these lilacs shrivel and die. 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!  :)

  2. Dear Linda, the lilacs flowers are so dainty and pretty. The green leaves have a nice shade of green. When weather is hot, the lilacs shriveled, it is indeed sad but such is life, all living beings will come to pass one day. There are no immortality 😢
    Have a good day 🌹

  3. Olá, querida Linda, um show de postagem!
    O vídeo do cachorro com um dinamite na boca
    me fez rir muito, eu correria a 100 quilômetros / hora.
    Também adorei em ler:

    "A maior lição que aprendi este ano é não forçar nada; Conversas, amizades, relacionamentos, atenção, amor. Qualquer coisa forçada simplesmente não vale a pena lutar por ela. O que flui, flui, o que despenca, ele bate. É o que é."

    E tantas coisas excelentes que li e aplaudo.
    Uma feliz semana, amiga!
    Abracitos Gaúchos!

  4. "Your needs are not burdensome" is a quote for my mum. She expressed concern about me having to deliver lunch to her and interrupting my work. I assured her that lunch delivery is not a burden at all! All the quotes are so wise and the first one made me smile! Those lilacs you captured are so very pretty! It is a pity that they will shrivel in the heat.

    I can almost smell the lilac.

  7. So many good ones today! I love, love, love the one about kids not being pressured to be normal and also the one about lessons learned in life.
    Lilacs are one of my favorites, but you're right, they don't last long enough.

  8. Just as Elvis sings, the Lord is my everything, Linda, and I pray He will touch everyone with His love and grace. Blessings, my friend!
