Life, and our Beautiful Planet Earth

Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to you all! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to visit me here! I really appreciate you all so much! My next post will appear on my blog on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. 

Here are today's picks, which I hope will brighten your day!

You don't have a cat? This is your lucky day! I'm moving in!  :)

The cat owns the house. That's why the word homeowner has meow in it. :)

Sleeping Angel


Humility is the greatest quality that man can have, and arrogance is undoubtedly the worst.
Goodbye Self Help


Biodiversity can't be maintained by protecting a few species in a zoo, or by preserving greenbelts or national parks. To function properly, nature needs more room than that. It can maintain itself, however, without human expense, without zookeepers, park rangers, foresters or gene banks. All it needs is to be left alone.
- Donella Meadows

The death of the forest is the end of our life. - Dorothy Stang
Routinely Nomadic


Small acts matter. The earth heals a little every time you rescue a life. Compassion in action.
Earth Reminder


Defend the helpless. When you defend a helpless life, you defend what's good in humanity. Earth's gentle giants.
Earth Reminder


When we honor the earth we honor everything that matters. 
Cat Wisdom 101


Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference. - Jane Goodall

We were never meant to live life accumulating stuff. We were meant to live simply enjoying the experiences of life, the people of life and the journey of life - not the things of life. - Joshua Becker

  8. I always enjoy the cat memes! I love cats and your memes always make me smile.
    I really like the one about faith and worry at the beginning - that's so true and a great reminder.
    I love murals and the dog mural is a nice one.
    Once again, your post isn't up on my feed yet. It's so frustrating!

  9. Clever posters! I’m afraid we do need rangers and foresters because some human beings do not follow the rules.

  10. So many enjoyable quotes and other things ❤️ The "take risks" picture with the sparrows is so cute I think I'll take it with me 😊
    Humility - arrogance, hmm. . . neither one is good in excess.
    What a pretty picture on biodiversity !

  16. afternoon greetings from kuala lumpur! It has been hot and sunny for the last few days... scorching hot. The temperature is 37-38C! For today, I choose this quote: If I can survive the war that I battle with myself, I can survive anything... " Take care, dear Linda!

  19. I love all the memes, they keep me thinking as to how correct most of them are. That mural is gorgeous and the pretty flower.
    The videos are nice to watch, Linda.

  20. Wonderful words & quotes:) Love them all.
    Thank you for shring.
    "Meow" is indeed a part of homeowner- small wonder, the cat is self-inviting itself and plans to takeover the home saying that it's your lucky day!
