Do good for others. It will come back in unexpected ways.

Do good things whether others notice or not. It's the deeds that matter, not the size of your audience. Good morning.

As the sun rises, so does your potential. Embrace it and let it lead you to greatness.
Good morning. Chase the sun, not shadows. Let your heart be bold, your spirit brave and your mind focused on achieving greatness today.
Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart. - Elizabeth Andrew

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are. - Marianne Williamson

ReplyDeleteOnce again, you have so many good things. I do love all the cute kitties. I really like the quote about getting up and doing something when you are feeling hopeless.
Have a good night. :)
Linda reflexión. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! When you do good helping others, you will also feel good when you see the joy in their faces. Oh, I must find out what is julep. I have heard of it before when watching TV. I know it's some sort of drink. The flowers in your photo are lovely. I know the yellow one is Marigold but I don't know the name of the pretty purple ones.
ReplyDeleteOlá Linda! Fazer o bem para os outros também é um bem que fazemos para nos mesmos. Belas mensagens 🩷
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, what memories that song with the Kim brothers and sisters brings back, It's is a real oldie.
ReplyDeleteYour flower photos are beautiful, as is that photo with the sky.
I'm craving Harvey's after seeing your photo. LOL. Thanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteA purrfect post 😻
ReplyDeleteLove seeing snippets of Montreal in your photos.
I've heard of Harvey's, but never been!! Might have to take a trip one of these days.

If we don't feel grateful with what we already have, what makes us think we will be happy with more?
ReplyDeleteI like Rescue Rooster.
Looks like some nice places to eat.
ReplyDeleteThe laugh was good. Do you remember an episode of I love Lucy when she and Viv were working on a production line doing something with food when the conveyer belt sped up?
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew, I am so glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I remember that I Love Lucy episode! I laughed so hard seeing it, too! :)
DeleteI love Polly Bergan's expression as that rollercoaster dips.
ReplyDeleteDo good deeds whether others notice or not. Truly important. In fact, I think a good deed done in secret is even more worthy.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Linda, for remembering the beauty and generosity that was Dolly Parton's life in your post today. She was a beloved person throughout the world and will be sorely missed. President Trump has ordered all American flags lowered to half-staff this week in honor of her selfless and talented legacy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue sky and fluffy clouds..and thank you for sharing some inspiring quotes, Linda.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteYes, RIP Dolly Parton and Tim Curry.
What a beautiful, positive post. I especially like the images of the kitties
ReplyDeleteAll the best from the South Coast of Ohio..
Such a beautiful and uplifting post, Linda! The quote about doing good for others really resonated with me today. Thank you for sharing your lovely photos of Montreal and bringing so much positivity into our day
ReplyDeleteLovely post as always ❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteIt is always a joy to see the sites on your stroll, Linda. Oh my the sky is so vibrant and beautiful. And those flowers- how lovely. Thank you so much for brightening my day. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your photos—it’s always interesting, especially the beautiful flower shots!
ReplyDeleteYou’ve made wonderful choices regarding all those beautiful words of wisdom, quotes, and the video!
I wish you a good week. Hugs, Elke
It's always nice to come to you, all positivity. Today I treated myself to something too... an energy bracelet for my zodiac sign.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Andreja!
Thank you for the nice quotes, og the beautiful kittens, Linda! Lovely flowers too.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, beautiful inspirations. I practice gratitude each day. I am glad you had a wonderful day out. Such gorgeous flowers! ((hugs))
ReplyDeletevery nice quites
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quotes, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI find this one very beautiful.
You should never do good deeds for others because you want to receive a reward for them. You should do good deeds for others because it makes you feel good to give and because it is the right thing to do. - Written and conceived by Dave Hodges.
The flower photos are beautiful, and so is the photo with the sky.
All the best, Irma
Thank you for the truth and inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHello LInda,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all the inspiring quotes! Love your pretty skies and the flowers are beautiful. Take care, happy Thursday! Enjoy your day!
Krasné a pravdivé citáty a moudré myšlenky. I vtipné a milé video. Přeji hezky den.
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful quotes always stay with me Linda 😊
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes, sounds like my friend fK and I, give and take! Poor birds, glad humans help. Have a great day, dear friend Linda, much love and warm hugs.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, thank you for your 5 photos taken with your cellphone. If I ever visit there, I must go take photo with that giant orange ball which is really wow! 😳 Impressive 👍🏻
ReplyDeleteI don't think u will eat at these 3 fast food eateries nowadays, right? Since you are eating healthily.
I so agree with the one about appreciating what you have and if you don't how will you appreciate anything more.
ReplyDeleteLinda bom dia, magníficos pensamentos que você trouxe pra nós, desejo uma ótima quinta-feira bjs.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
ReplyDeleteAll is lovely Linda. Your post planted itself in my roll this evening so that is good.
ReplyDeleteIt is true about good deeds. They make the doer feel good. In a way, you could make a case for good deeds being selfish.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I am now feeding FOUR outside cats. Your blog is a nice reminder for me to try and not be so annoyed by humans.
ReplyDeleteDoing good for others is also good for ourselves. :)
ReplyDeleteSome great quotes here, well done. I hope all is well Diane
ReplyDeleteBom dia minha querida amiga Linda. A minha reflexão preferida é "Faça o bem, independentemente de os outros notarem ou não. Oque importa são as suas ações, não o tamanho da plateia". Uma excelente manhã de quinta-feira e espero que esteja tudo bem com você e seus familiares em Montreal e um grande abraço do seu amigo carioca.
ReplyDeleteDeus caritas est!
ReplyDeleteWhat is that massive red ball poking out of the cityskape?
ReplyDeleteLinda, today I chose this quote: "Do good for others. It will come back in unexpected ways." I chose it because we never know how far a good deed can reach or when its kindness may return to us. A big hug.
ReplyDeleteUnas grandes frases como nos tienes acostumbrados, siendo una de ellas a Dolly Parton que nos dejo esta semana. La foto que acompaña la ultima de las frases me encanta.
ReplyDeleteDecir que yo prefiero los restaurantes de comida tradicional
Saludos.
Thank you for the beutiful words. Always be grateful and do goods to others. Indeed, we completed each others. No one is useless.
ReplyDeleteThe purple flower is so beautiful. Nice to see the colour!
Ahoj, Lindo, vybrala jsi krásné téma. Pomáhat druhým a konat dobré skutky je tak šlechetné... a ono se to člověku vrátí. ☺
ReplyDeleteJe hezké, když na fotkách představíš i vaše město, mě to tedy hodně zajímá. Ta sytě žlutá květina v truhlíku je Aksamitník, známý také pod názvem afrikán. U nás je populární také díky barvám a lehkosti pěstování.
Afrikány, neboli aksamitníky z rodu Tagetes, jsou původní ve značné části Severní a Jižní Ameriky. V Mexiku a na jihozápadě Spojených států amerických přirozeně roste několik druhů, včetně Tagetes lucida, známé jako mexická estragon, a Tagetes minuta, označovaná také jako husí noha.
S příchodem evropských kolonistů do Ameriky začalo šlechtění aksamitníků pro okrasné účely. Jedním z výsledků je Tagetes patula, často vysazovaný pro své kompaktní rostliny a jasně zbarvené květy.
Přeji Ti Lindo, klidné a příjemné dny! Hanka ☺
I always enjoy the variety of images and little surprises you share here. There’s something so relaxing about simply scrolling through your posts and discovering the different pictures and ideas. Thank you for another lovely dose of inspiration and good vibes!
ReplyDeleteKisses
Lots of thought-provoking messages today. LOVED that little rooster. So smart and outgoing. Thanks for sharing, dear Linda.
ReplyDeleteDo good unto others just because it's the right thing to do, without expecting anything in return. I love that philosophy! I work hard at being kind to people, even when it's not returned.
ReplyDeleteI agree with so many of these. "if you're not happy with what you have, what makes you think you'll be with more?" that's a good one!
ReplyDeleteGreat title, do good. That's what you do every time a new post appears.
ReplyDeleteI am working on a post just now and my title is "Do Gooders"! I might not finish it though, but don't we think alike? ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you for all these words to brighten our day and give us good things to think about. I love reading them all. I don't know how you find so many, but I'm glad you do and that you share them with us!! I hope you are having a wonderful day where you are!!!
ReplyDeleteFood, drinks and flowers, what do you want more, Linda?
ReplyDeleteThe gag -> helllppppp...!
Lie(f)s.
Schöne Zitate und Videos.
ReplyDeleteGruß
Noke
Great post
ReplyDeleteIo non sono ciò che mi è successo. Io sono ciò che scelgo di diventare.
ReplyDeleteQuesto mi sa che diventerà il mio nuovo "mantra"
Such an inspirational post, Linda. Thsnk you!
ReplyDeleteAnother inspirational post Linda ... thank you.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed seeing those colourful flowers.
Enjoy these last few days of August.
All the best Jan
So many good ones once again.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. So important to do good deeds and kind acts. Putting positive ripples into the universe is the best. ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers!
