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?

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