The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone on my walks here in Montreal. You can click on any image to see a larger view.

This photo is of myself and my cousin, Vince! He lives in Ontario and we don't get to see each other very often, so it was lovely to be able to see him again. We met earlier this month for breakfast to catch up on our news and enjoyed a nice meal together. I am just 5'0" tall, Vince is 6'2". :) 

Another thing...when I created this post I hadn't realized that the title of the post would be so fitting...it just worked out this way! (I am referring to All Creatures Great and Small title) :) When I take my photos I try to share them in the order in which I take them, and it just so happened that this was the post that this photo is shared on. I have always been short. I have another cousin, now deceased, who was 12 years older than me and he was 6'4".  :) I am 5'0".

The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy!  :)

Smile to solve problems and silence to avoid problems.

Even though there are days I wish I could change some things that happened in the past, there's a reason the rear view mirror is so small and the windshield is so big. Where you're headed is much more important than what you've left behind.

How deep is the mud? Depends on who you ask. We all go through the same stuff differently.

Those of you who are regular visitors to my blog know that I don't often make any suggestions or recommendations. I saw a movie a few days ago and found it very powerful. It is on YouTube and the title is "Nobody's Child" starring Marlo Thomas. This movie is based on a true story and focuses on mental health awareness. If you are interested in mental health, I think you will find this movie very touching...and hopeful! To find the movie on YouTube, do a search...Nobody's Child movie, Marlo Thomas. This should help you find the link. What I love ❤️ about this movie is it shows how, if we look at another person in a positive way and can see the potential rather than feeling that they or the situation is hopeless, how our kindness and love can have a positive impact on them. Fantastic movie, in my opinion.

The following photos are my own, which I took on my walks here in Montreal. These were beautiful flowers that I found outside of a funeral home! I had to take these photos, I thought they were so pretty! You can click on any image to see a larger view. As usual, I don't know what type of flowers they are.

I am just going to take a guess that the yellow ones are Petunias?
