Somewhere along the way we learned that a peaceful life is far more valuable than a busy one.
Nothing can disturb your peace of mind unless you allow it to.

Peace is our gift to each other. - Elie Wiesel
Quote Fancy
Set peace of mind as your highest goal, and organize your life around it. - Brian Tracey
Reader's Digest
Peace does not come from controlling the world. Peace comes from learning to watch our mind with mindfulness.
Purrs of Wisdom with Ingrid King
The practice of staying present will heal you. Obsessing about how the future will turn out creates anxiety. Replaying broken scenarios from the past causes anger or sadness. Stay here, in the moment. - S. McNutt
Tiny Buddha
Within you, there is a stillness and sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself. - Hermann Hesse
Reader's Digest
Take this day one day at a time. And if that becomes too much, take it an hour at a time. And if that's too much, take it one minute at a time. And if that's too much, take it a single breath at a time.
Sketches in Stillness
You will get there when you are meant to get there and not one moment sooner...so relax, breathe and be patient. - Mandy Hale

Feelings are something you have; not something you are. - Shannon L. Ander
Ineffable Living
When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.

The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone in a Montreal park. This is the last of the series from this beautiful park, continuing (and ending in this post) from my last two blog posts. I have no idea what the plants, trees or flowers are called, I just found them beautiful. You can click on any image to see a larger view.
A beautiful marble picnic table.
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy! :)

My priority in life is peace. If more humans stopped doing and wanting all the time the world would be a more peaceful place. The plants in your parks are far different to here and the UK.
Somewhere along the way we learned that a peaceful life is far more valuable than a busy one. I like this one - it's true. Peace is important. I think that the photos you take with your phone are beautiful. Liked that second photo of the red plant.
Hello Linda! Peace is precious. Mayhem and chaos is destructive! Oh, I love the quotes and your photos. The plant in the 4th photo (with red flowers) looks familiar. I have seen it before. If I do come across it again, I will snap a photo and share.
I think my favourite meme today is the one about the two kinds of tired: the kind that needs rest, and the one that needs peace. So true, at least for me. Have a great week ( I hope it's not too hot).
Dear Linda, thank you for the 5 photos. I like the 4 photo, how you frame the flowers with lots of blue blue sky, so beautiful 😍❤️ Have a good week ahead! 😊
morning greetings from kuala lumpur. i'm back! arrived home last nite. for today, i choose this quote: There are two types of tired: one that requires rest, and the other that requires peace....right now i'm slightly tired but today is a working day, so need to set my mind and focus on work! i like all the plant pictures that u took and share here! take care dear linda!
If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner-Nelson Mandela. It's amazing that this peacemaker was imprisoned for 27 years!!!
I would like to work with my enemies (if I had any) but would also like it if they would work with me. It's a two way street in my opinion. I try for peace of mind and sometimes achieve it. :)
Thank you for brighting up my day, Linda! This post is a beautiful reminder to slow down and find inner peace. Sending you warm wishes for a great week
Yes, you know I love the cats!! Yes, to ice cream!! Yes, to peace in life! Great photos of the plants you saw. I don't kow what they are either! I LOVE the boogie-woogie video. I watch it on YouTube often! How fun! Nice trumpet and cows! Good stuff, my friend!! xo
