Don't focus on how much you eat. Focus on what you eat.

Prioritizing nutrition empowers you to change your actions and lifestyle.
Dietetic Directions
Time and health are two precious assets that we don't recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted. -Denis Waitley
Food Matters
I view food as energy for my mind and body rather than something to be scared of. It's fuel, not punishment. Because without it, I can't grow stronger, emotionally, mentally and physically. -Lily Collins
Better Help
Being healthy and fit isn't a fad or a trend. It's a lifestyle.

Mental illness is so much more complicated than any pill that any mortal could invent. - Elizabeth Wintzel
Bright Drops
Living with anxiety is like being followed by a voice. It knows all your insecurities and uses them against you. It gets to the point when it's the loudest voice in the room. The only one you can hear.

Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor. - Thich Nhat Hanh

I have amazing eyes, an infectious laugh and I always know when you need a hug. I also have Down syndrome. It's a part of me, not a definition of who I am.

The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone on my walks here in Montreal. You can click on any image to see a larger view.
This particular photo is of a tree that apparently has edible sour cherries on it! A few people were taking some cherries from this tree! I asked one lady, when I saw her taking some of the little red cherries from the tree if they were edible and she told me that they were! She explained that they were sour cherries. This tree is on public property so people were coming and taking some of the cherries. LOL! :)
These last two photos are of some beautiful lilies. They were in the middle of a boulevard and I just decided to take the photos! The city of Montreal had planted them! I loved the orange and light yellow colours!
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy! :)
Dog with face tumor had 24 hours left until someone saved him (The Dodo)
Orphaned calf keeps looking for a mom until she finds one :) (The Dodo)

Hello Linda ... great post, excellent collection of quotes and memes.
So true to focus on what we eat... as Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician so often called the Father of Medicine, famously said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food,”
Your health is your wealth! Oh, I love cherries! What we get here are imported and so they are expensive. How nice it is to have a cherry tree grown on public property and we can just help ourselves. LOL! Did you try the cherries? Oh, the yellow lilies are so pretty!
Such good reminders on healthy eating, and timely for me because I need that reminder. We have lilies like the yellow ones - so pretty! I saw that video on the dog before. Sad and sweet.
Tranquility is a difficult state to attain. I think we learn and grow a lot in the effort! I watch how much and what I eat. Certain foods I try to limit, like desserts whereas with veggies, I can load up. :) Unfortunately, I have a big sweet tooth!
I have never heard of sour cherries before. Did you try one, Linda? One of our communities has a lot of pecan trees along the public streets and residents go out and pick the pecans come fall time. Thank you for the sweet post. Hugs.
...Linda, thanks for this wonderful pot. I wish you good heal. There have never been truer word than, "Helping those who can never repay you is real rescue!"
This is Chatty Crone - sandie - hope you are getting these. Would you let me know. I think the sour cherry bush was pretty. I have a touch of OCD myself. Helping those who can never repay you is real rescue. That is the only way to give - give when you know you won't get back.
The sour cherries and the lilies are pretty ❤️💛 I like this: "Autism is not a disability, it's a different ability." I agree fully and I know it, because I am autistic with Asperger's syndrome. It's not a disease 🙂 I can also vouch for this: "Being healthy and fit isn't a fad or a trend. It's a lifestyle." So many great quotes, Linda 🍎 I enjoyed everything. And Down syndrome people are cute and affectionate 🩵
Health and nutrition—it’s so important, and the other part is such a great read, too! I’d love to snack on cherries there and admire the lilies—beautiful photos! Dear Linda, I wish you a wonderful rest of the week.hugs Elke
Good morning, Linda. Great blog post! I love living healthy, it truly is a lifestyle. I stay active every day and eat as healthily as I can. Your photos are fantastic, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week.

ReplyDeleteI have rescued many cats over my lifetime, it's always been extremely rewarding.

Happy midweek wishes to you.
All the best Jan
Those are beautiful, especially that first one!
ReplyDeleteSiempre es bueno cuidar y proteger a los animales. Te mando un beso.

ReplyDeleteWhen presenting about food, you forgot to extol the virtues of coffee. It's quite an omission. 😇😁😉
ReplyDelete"I am different, not less" is a great thought.
Love that "choir attack" video -- the young guy with the bike sure got into it -- a good sport!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful lilies.
ReplyDelete...Linda, thanks for this wonderful pot. I wish you good heal. There have never been truer word than, "Helping those who can never repay you is real rescue!"
ReplyDeleteSome good advice in your post! And nice photos of day lilies.
ReplyDeleteAmen to eating nutritious food, and getting physical and mental exercise!
ReplyDeleteHealthy eating is important, as well as exercise. We had sour cherries on our property in Norway, I used to make jam. The yellow lilies are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI would not want the sour cherries. Surprising that people were picking them.
ReplyDeleteThe attack of the church choir is so funny. I really liked all the advice on wellness but the little video made me forget all else.lol

Don't focus on how much you eat. Focus on what you eat. THIS IS SO TRUE!
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, "Don't Fence Me In" was composed by Cole Porter--about as far as a cowboy as you could get.
ReplyDeleteThe happy clappers surrounding people was funny.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Linda. Great blog post! I love living healthy, it truly is a lifestyle. I stay active every day and eat as healthily as I can. Your photos are fantastic, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week.
