Kindness is a simple way to tell another struggling soul that there is still hope and love to be found in the world.
Life humbles you. As you grow older, you stop chasing the big things and embrace the little things. Alone, time, enough sleep, healthy food, long walks and precious time with your loved ones. Simplicity becomes your lifestyle.
Never get tired of doing little things for others. Sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts.
When you are grateful for the little things, every little thing is worth so much more.
If you take care of the small things, the big things take care of themselves. You can gain more control over your life by paying closer attention to the little things. - Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

The following photos are my own, taken with my cellphone on my walks here in Montreal. This first photo is a phone booth...yes, there are still many in Montreal. You can click on any image to see a larger view.
A Montreal bus. The STM on the white at the top part of the bus stands for "Societe de Transport de Montreal"
I think you all know that I love nature...so animals and birds are part of this. This is a pigeon who found its way inside a Montreal metro station. The door to the station was open, so the pigeon just walked inside...perhaps to escape the heat outside for a bit. I found it cute and decided to take this photo. :)
I liked the colour and artwork on this picnic table outside of a metro station near a grocery store and decided to take the photo.
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy! :)
Two giant whales started playing with my dog :) (We love animals)
Golden Retriever caught on camera sneaking into neighbor's pool :) (The Dodo)

thecontemplativecat here. I really "safety" as "sanity". Same thing?
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% that little things mean lot and we must not lose sight of that. Oh, you still have telephone booths over there! I have not seen one for ages. I read your earlier post about the heatwave. So it looks like it's not just me feeling the heat and sweating it out at my end!
ReplyDeletemorning dear linda! it's a bright, sunny day here at my place. my son is having his exam (trial exam)--equivalent to O level exam. for today, i choose this quote: Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine! indeed! i love seeing all your pics about your place, montreal...now it becomes close to my heart although virtual only. take care dear linda
ReplyDeleteI wish we still had telephone booths near me. I miss them! I agree with Da Vinci about how each cat is a masterpiece. They really are! Thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeletehow fun that visit was! I love nature too, and animals. The whale/dog playing, LeeAnna at notafraidofcolor
ReplyDeleteHi there! I love the one about doing little things for others. It's so true that we don't know the effect it has on them.
ReplyDeleteThe little pigeon in the station is cute.
What a beautifully decorated picnic bench! Many of our utility boxes now have artistic wraps on them and they make me happy. They are those small things that bring joy. We have to always pay attention to the beauty around us, even when it's little and doesn't seem important. Life is made up of small moments.
ReplyDeleteI think the issue nowadays with phone booths is that no one knows anyone's phone number anymore.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, good night to you now. I am surprised that there are still phone booths around. A few years ago I left my hp at home and couldn't find any public phone booths. Ended up borrowing a phone to use from a mall's custom service table.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week ahead! 💕
The dog swimming in the pool was fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute picnic table!
