You owe yourself one hour a day of self-maintenance. It can include reading, writing, yoga, exercise, dancing, meditation, painting or whatever, but you owe it to yourself. One hour, 1/24 of your day. That is less than 5%. It matters, it really does. Make it count. - Sarah Brassard

The following photos are my own, which I took in a Montreal park. These are a continuation from the series of photos I shared in my last post. I don't know what the plants, flowers or trees or called, I just found the sight beautiful and wanted to take these photos. You can click on any image to see a larger view.

It can be so hard to look for beautiful things in a world full of chaos, but they don't have to be big ones. Sometimes just a smile can really make my day.
Good evening Linda, I guess you must have eaten supper by now. I just woke up and directly go read your new post because I know you will put it up on Wednesday. Thank you for your 5 photos. You frame the scene every well as you have an artist eye for beautiful pictures. I like looking at your photos. You made the park look so green and refreshingly inviting.i hope to visit Montreal parks one day Have a good night sleep 💤😴
Dear Linda, forgot to say that I love the green colour in your 5th photo. I will try to use AI to find out what plant that is. Good night to you 💤😴 and good morning 🌞 to me ❤️
Everyday is precious even the bad days. Linda, I love the photos that you took of the trees and lovely plants. My favorite theme (besides cats) is plants and greenery!
Thank you for this lovely reminder, especially the part about owing ourselves one hour a day for self-maintenance. It’s so easy to forget to slow down in the middle of a busy life. Your post is a gentle hug we all need..
morning dear linda! i will be away for few days from tomorrow, as I will be flying back home to visit my mom (one hour flight trip). for today, i choose this quote: We must never stop believing that beautiful things can happen even in times of chaos... take care!
Hooray! You showed up in my feed! I love that Wayne Gretzky quote. I repeat it often. It's the perfect sentiment for so many different situations and always, always true!!
Lily Tomlin is always funny! I like the Ali quote about making the days count. Your photos are so pretty! I love hosta and always like seeing pics of them.
All of your inspiration here, Linda, reminds me that my faith should always be higher than my fears. God loves us all and we are His children. Blessings!
The pictures you took; like an art exhibition ☘️ Very nice. Self-maintenance; good idea. And the title of the post is great; Make every day count. I usually say to myself "this was a good day because . . . " and I mention things that made it great. That makes me feel good and accomplished. Have a pleasant day 💕
The quotes about slowing down and giving ourselves one hour a day really spoke to me-- such simple advice but so easy to forget. Love your photos of the park.
The quotes encourage me to think in the right direction and make it... thank you so much, dear Linda! The park is beautiful with the planted roots in it. Happy day, hugs Elke
Nice memes and your photos are lovely, always like to see some of the things you see, Linda. Time stood still in the first video..lol The Baby Elephant Walk, knew that one, catchy tune..
The day-quote is my fav, dear friend Linda. Some really just help you make it to the next... And Muhammad Ali was a great man. But then... boxing is like chess in fast. These men think. Just look at the Klitschko-Brothers. Beautiful photos. That time freeze-prank is absolutely hilarious! Ohhh, and the animals! And songs, beautiful. Warm hugs and much love on the way.
Hello Linda, you really must have a huge archive with all these beautiful quotes and pictures :-) Your own photos are also very beautifully taken, with gorgeous colors of the plant leaves. It is always a moment to relax with you.
Great photos Linda. Love the quote about animals, they really are the best friends to have and don't judge. Humans need to learn from animals! Oh love Marmalade, they are from Scotland! :-D
Love them all but that last photo is the kind I enjoy taking as well. Something about the movement in the stillness of leaves that makes my heart smile.
Answering your comment on my blog: I've had that or similar happen to me. There's one blog in particular that I follow. For whatever reason, the screen alunost always jumps and deletes my comment.
Very odd, that.
I've also heard from others that Canada doesn't have an ALDI. You know what's funny? Quite a number of things I get from ALDI are from Canada. Do you have any discount Stores similar to Aldi?
So true we can't take advantage to each day given us, we are so blessed to have it and need to do our best to enjoy and be thankful :) I love pictures of old trees and roots from trees, I find I am always taking pictures of them when I see them! Hope you are doing well and getting answers you need on your health!
Such a lovely post! I always enjoy the positive and thoughtful atmosphere you create. It’s a wonderful reminder to slow down, appreciate the present moment, and find joy in the simple things that brighten our days.
Para um alívio rápido da dor eu diminuí o ritmo nas última duas semana e estou retornando aos poucos... É maravilhoso estar aqui lendo tantas coisas lindas e fotografias de tirar o fôlego!! Obrigada Linda!! Beijos!
Boa tarde minha querida amiga Linda. Obrigada pela visita e pelo comentário sobre o grande ator brasileiro Grande Otelo. Minha reflexão preferida é "Que a sua fé, seja maior que os seus medos". Uma excelente tarde de quinta-feira para você e seus familiares em Montreal e um grande abraço do seu amigo carioca.
Hello Linda It's Thursday as I type this and I hope you are having a happy and peaceful day. Thank you for another excellent collection on your post, lots to read, see and enjoy. My good wishes.
Again, beautiful photos! I'm starting think those reddish long leafed plants are bromeliads, especially how they're rooted on branches. But they're strictly a tropical plant grown outside. Hmmm...
Perhaps they are moved into a greenhouse when it gets too cold. It looks easy enough to accomplish if those wood pieces are loose as they appear.
Thanks for sharing these great quotes and giving me something fun to ponder. I even learned from a quick search this evening that pineapples are in the bromeliad family. :) Hugs, my dear.
All good thoughts. I've still got a very thick book filled with the best Reader's Digest factual stories that I bought in a book sale many years ago. Some great stuff in it as it spans ten years or more and I dip into it every once in a while if I'm short on new books to read.
As always, I enjoyed all the memes, especially the cat ones. However, I do think that cats judge you...they can really give you the "look" if you don't feed them on time or do what they expect you to do, or if you take their special chair or put something in their "spot". I've discovered that with this cat we have! He knows how to give us "the look" of disdain, and he turns his back on us if he isn't happy. LOL. So I have to disagree with that one meme, just from my own experience! LOL.
Oi, Linda! Vendo e lendo as lindas mensagens que você posta, destaco o fato de que os animais realmente são melhores companhias que os humanos. As tuas fotos trazem um pedacinho do Canadá a cada post! Beijos nas bochechas! :-)
Linda - adored the Baby Elephant Walk - I have not heard that in years and it brought back so many good memories. As always your posts continue to be so uplifting. Take care and have a delightful weekend. Hugs!
Another inspiring post, Linda! thank you for the reminder that I owe myself one hour a day of self-maintenance. I'm not very good at that. Much love to you!
I really like how you gathered such an uplifting mix of quotes and paired them with your peaceful park photos because the combination of thoughtful reflections, gentle encouragement, and calming nature images creates a soothing space that feels grounding and reminds me to slow down and appreciate the small moments that make each day meaningful.
Hello Linda!!! I love a lot of the quotes you shared today. One really touched me and reminded of something about hurt and hope. Thank you! I love the park pictures. :)
Moin Dear Linda, Du hast schöne, ermutigende Sprüche heraus gesucht und gleich der erste spricht mich an... Deine Blumenfotos sind sehr schön und ich erkenne die grünlaubige Hosta/Funkie. Wir haben sie im Garten, aber sie ist die Hauptmahlzeit der spanischen Wegschnecke, die einst den Weg nach Deutschland fand. Danke für Deinen Kommentar in meinem Blog und Dein Mitgefühl: Ja, mir geht es gut, bin zur Zeit nur etwas müde vom stetigen Wetterumschwung. Der Juni ist alles andere als ein Sommermonat... So ruhe ich mich aus und genieße... Alles Liebe für Dich und sei herzlich gegrüßt von Traudi.🍀
Thank you for all these thoughtful quotes, Linda. They are a real blessing. I liked the photos in the park, especially the three that showed the same scene but closer up each time. Great shots. Loved the video with the man singing and playing for the animals. It melted my heart.
Boa tarde minha querida amiga Linda. Espero que esteja tudo bem com você e seus familiares em Montreal. Uma excelente tarde de domingo, bom início de semana e um grande abraço do seu amigo carioca.

Thank you for visiting my little blog. I hate that I didn't reply sooner. I have to tell you that I've never really told anyone about my little blog and didn't even think to notice if there were any comments! I guess I didn't imagine anyone would find it! I just like recording the lovely things that happen around our place. I think we could be good friends... cats... quotes... calmness... all good things!

ReplyDeleteOh, I like the lily Tomlin quote. lol
ReplyDeleteAnd that last quote, about having just one life to do everything we want to. Makes a person think.
Good evening Linda, I guess you must have eaten supper by now. I just woke up and directly go read your new post because I know you will put it up on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your 5 photos. You frame the scene every well as you have an artist eye for beautiful pictures. I like looking at your photos. You made the park look so green and refreshingly inviting.i hope to visit Montreal parks one day

ReplyDeleteNot every day has to count, but every day is meaningful in small (and sometimes big) ways. In my opinion!
ReplyDeleteThe quotes encourage me to think in the right direction and make it... thank you so much, dear Linda!
ReplyDeleteThe park is beautiful with the planted roots in it.
Happy day, hugs Elke
Many thoughtful quotes here Linda. "Success is how high..." a great one !!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful quotes again, and beautiful photos too.
ReplyDeleteThis one is beautiful: Don't count the days, but make every day count.
All the best, Irma
Good morning Linda, I think the quote "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. - Wayne Gretzky" is really great. 100% true.
ReplyDeleteYour photos of the park are beautiful. See you Sunday. Until then I hope you have some great days.
Nice memes and your photos are lovely, always like to see some of the things you see, Linda. Time stood still in the first video..lol
ReplyDeleteThe Baby Elephant Walk, knew that one, catchy tune..
Hi Linda from Greece! I keep coming back to your blog for inspiration and to see all the beautiful things you post.
ReplyDeleteThe day-quote is my fav, dear friend Linda. Some really just help you make it to the next...

Beautiful photos.

It looks like you found lots to photograph in that park.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos in the park.
ReplyDeleteThere is always something to be thankful for every day. :)
'I always wanted to be somebody but now I realize I should have been more specific. - Lily Tomlin :)' Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAgain, beautiful photos! I'm starting think those reddish long leafed plants are bromeliads, especially how they're rooted on branches. But they're strictly a tropical plant grown outside. Hmmm...

ReplyDeleteRight, mindset is everything.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely quotes, Linda. I especially liked the fact that you included a quote from Bhikku Pannakara. :)
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteEs muy hermoso.
ReplyDeleteThose plants are really beautiful. That green one might be a hosta. Or not!
ReplyDeleteI like the plants. Greets
ReplyDeleteWas für schöne Beiträge. Ich mag die positive Ausstrahlung sehr.
ReplyDeleteLinda - adored the Baby Elephant Walk - I have not heard that in years and it brought back so many good memories. As always your posts continue to be so uplifting. Take care and have a delightful weekend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI agree that animals make ideal companions. But I have gotten a few judgmental looks from cats! LOL
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI love the different greens in the hosta. :-)
Hello Linda,
ReplyDeleteNice post with cats. And what a special shot is picture 20.
Nice movies.
Many greetings,
Marco
Yes, mind set is everything!
ReplyDeleteThe photos of the park are lovely. Love all the cats and the videos. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend, Linda.
ReplyDeleteAnother inspiring post, Linda! thank you for the reminder that I owe myself one hour a day of self-maintenance. I'm not very good at that. Much love to you!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures you took in the park are so pretty. My favorite is the middle one of the plant with red leaves.
ReplyDeleteI love to visit you.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your sharing.
Linda's Happy weekend..Hug Andreja!
ReplyDeleteGrata por tão belas citações, que nos vêm confortar.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing, Linda. I love reading your posts as they are always encouraging.
ReplyDeleteBelinda
Ahh, another delightful collection. Our favorite is the beautiful things/chaos one.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you gathered such an uplifting mix of quotes and paired them with your peaceful park photos because the combination of thoughtful reflections, gentle encouragement, and calming nature images creates a soothing space that feels grounding and reminds me to slow down and appreciate the small moments that make each day meaningful.
ReplyDeletebeautiful entry, very colorful and so nice
ReplyDeleteAll the Best for you. ❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteOh, but I do think animals judge us. But their asks are simple and their trust is one of the highest compliments one can earn in this life.
ReplyDeleteI don't bounce much when I hit the ground these days, I just kind of form around whatever I hit. LOL
ReplyDeleteI can tell you're an animal lover. Best regards... Pola
ReplyDeleteSuch a lot of interesting things in your post:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for always spreading encouragement!
ReplyDelete"How you look at it is how you'll see it." Now that is deep and made me think. That's very true. Thank you for these. The picture you took at so nice.
ReplyDeleteHebatnya setiap gambar berbicara dan menasihati semua yang datang terjah blong menarik ini..Salam dari Blog Etuza
ReplyDeleteThat third plants down with the different colors on the leaves is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteFor fast acting relief, try slowing down. - Lily Tomlin
Hello Linda!!! I love a lot of the quotes you shared today. One really touched me and reminded of something about hurt and hope. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love the park pictures. :)
I like best the photos you took yourself and the one "for fast acting relief, slow down"
ReplyDeleteit’s a good reminder to slow down and appreciate both the quiet days and the challenging ones...
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Linda. Just stopping by before your new post goes up to wish you a lovely Sunday.
ReplyDeleteLife is so short! We try to do something and appreciate each day. These are some great reminders.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quotes, and Ingrid is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteMoin Dear Linda,
ReplyDeleteDu hast schöne, ermutigende Sprüche heraus gesucht und gleich der erste spricht mich an... Deine Blumenfotos sind sehr schön und ich erkenne die grünlaubige Hosta/Funkie. Wir haben sie im Garten, aber sie ist die Hauptmahlzeit der spanischen Wegschnecke, die einst den Weg nach Deutschland fand.
Danke für Deinen Kommentar in meinem Blog und Dein Mitgefühl: Ja, mir geht es gut, bin zur Zeit nur etwas müde vom stetigen Wetterumschwung. Der Juni ist alles andere als ein Sommermonat...
So ruhe ich mich aus und genieße...
Alles Liebe für Dich und sei herzlich gegrüßt von Traudi.🍀
Thank you for all these thoughtful quotes, Linda. They are a real blessing. I liked the photos in the park, especially the three that showed the same scene but closer up each time. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteLoved the video with the man singing and playing for the animals. It melted my heart.
A wonderful dose of good energy. Inspiring quotes and lovely videos. Your photos from Montreal have an amazing atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteBoa tarde minha querida amiga Linda. Espero que esteja tudo bem com você e seus familiares em Montreal. Uma excelente tarde de domingo, bom início de semana e um grande abraço do seu amigo carioca.
ReplyDeleteThank you for pulling together such a beautiful collection of reminders, especially that Lily Tomlin line about slowing down for fast relief, which always brings a smile. Sarah Brassard’s breakdown of dedicating just one hour a day to self-maintenance is a fantastic perspective on how achievable it is to prioritize our own well-being. Those gorgeous photos from the Montreal park really capture that sense of peace, proving you don't need to know the names of the plants to appreciate the pure beauty of nature. The viral video about the husky taking herself to doggy daycare was the absolute perfect way to wrap up the post and add some extra joy to the day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my little blog. I hate that I didn't reply sooner. I have to tell you that I've never really told anyone about my little blog and didn't even think to notice if there were any comments! I guess I didn't imagine anyone would find it! I just like recording the lovely things that happen around our place.
ReplyDeleteI think we could be good friends... cats... quotes... calmness... all good things!
Love the photos you took at the park.
ReplyDeleteLovely clear photos from the park!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to be somebody but now I realize I should have been more specific. - Lily Tomlin :) Now, this one made me laugh out loud!
ReplyDeleteI wish i had an hour a day although I can usually squeeze 4 out on a sunday.
ReplyDelete
