You can look at your dog and see that it's thinking and has strong feelings. And if it does, so do wolves. And if wolves do, so do elephants. People aren't the only beings that think and feel. - Elizabeth Marshall Thomas

Advice from a deer - be a good listener. Leap over obstacles. Know when to lay low. Tread lightly on the earth. Take time to browse. Look both ways before crossing the road. Don't pass the buck!
No matter how unsure you feel, every step forward matters.

If your peace depends on everything going right, that's not peace, that's control. Learning to be steady in uncertainty: that's real growth.

Overthinking is the biggest cause of our unhappiness. Keep yourself occupied. Keep your mind off things that don't help you. Think positive.
The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone. I took these photos in a beautiful Montreal park. You can click on any image to see a larger view.
I have no idea what this was, but I wanted to take the photo.
Again, I don't know what these were, but I found them pretty.
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy! :)

hi linda! today i choose this quote: Birds chirping around you is a beautiful realization that life is incredibly good. Let this sound be a gentle break in your routine.... take care and sending warmest regards from kuala lumpur! I have 4 hour class today, off to work shortly (Now still at home while i'm reading this entry)
...Linda, you assembled a wonderful collection, but "In a nation of sheep, one brave man forms a majority," jumped out at me. This sums up things here!!!
I found your photos very interesting, Linda! The first one is like a scarecrow, can be scary coming across it at night! (I watch too many horror movies!). The second photo looks like a green brain! Or an alien life form (again too many movies. LOL!) Is it growing on a tree? And the last one, those plants that look like roses, I believe they are a type of cactus? Very pretty. I also love today's quotes especially the first one. I love cats!
Great advice from the deer! I also liked the one about the birds singing. Just a few days ago I was walking in the woods and the only sound was the birds and I was just so blessed by it! The Muppets! Mahna Mahna always makes me smile. Thanks!
Beautiful collection of quotes, Linda! The one about birds chirping really resonated with me.. it's such a lovely reminder to take a gentle break in our daily routine. Thank you for always spreading positivity!
It's always a pleasure to visit you, Linda! I alway find so many quotes that I can relate to...and I really enjoy peeking at the photos you take! I hope you have a lovely week!
