Good days will always come again.
Everyone has some baggage...we can use it to grow and journey to new places or let it weigh us down.
If we could look into each other's hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us face, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance and care. - Marvin J. Aston
The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings. - Eric Hoffer
When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.
The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there. - Robert M. Pirsig
Our heart warmth is the signature of our authenticity when communicating with others and all of life. - Doc Childre
Animals have hearts that feel, eyes that see and families to care for, just like you and me. - Anthony Douglas Williams, Inside the Divine Pattern
May life treat you the way you treat animals.
I Love Dogs
It takes nothing away from a human to be kind to an animal.
If you want to know someone's true character, watch how they treat animals.
Don't forget to notice the people who make an effort to stay in your life.
Heartfelt Quotes
It's okay if some days feel heavier than others. Take a deep breath and be gentle with yourself.

I talk to squirrels, too, Linda. Actually, I talk to all the animals.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure whether I'm a cataholic, but I do love cats and for some reason they do come to me. My neighbors jokingly call my garden "cat central". The only one who didn't like that was Kibeau as the ruler of this empire.
...yes Linda, you all have baggage, I preferr to travel through life, LIGHT!!! The Pineapple cream smoothie lookls like as great treat, we should dig out our blender. Take care and be well until the next time.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda
ReplyDeleteAnother great post.
I like your squirrel photographs. Squirrels visit the garden here and I do enjoy watching their antics.
Two very nice music choices today ... thank you.
Sending good wishes across the miles.
All the best Jan
I really wonder what happened to "my " squirrel....
ReplyDeleteOh, that dog-story sure is touching, dear friend Linda! And the Hummingbird.....
Have a great new week, warm hugs and love on the way.
morning greetings from kuala lumpur. haze still persists today..hopefully the weather will be better soon. for today, i choose this quote: If we could look into each other's hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us face, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance and care...i love the cute squirrels in the pics that u took. so adorable!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda - I decided to just come over and see what you had today. I'll still let you know when it shows on my feed.
ReplyDeleteI really like the ones from heart math today - so much loving wisdom!
The pineapple smoothie sounds so good! I saved it.
Your squirrels are cute. I talk to them here too.
Boa noite minha querida amiga Linda. Obrigado pela visita e comentΓ‘rio. Hoje a minha reflexΓ£o preferida Γ© "Todos nΓ³s carregamos alguma bagagem...podemos usΓ‘-la para crescer e viajar para novos lugares ou deixar que elas nos sobrecarregue". Uma excelente noite de domingo, bom inΓcio de semana e um grande abraΓ§o carioca para vocΓͺ e todos os seus familiares no CanadΓ‘. Suas fotos ficaram maravilhosas.
ReplyDeleteI talk to squirrels too.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures of animals πΏ️
ReplyDeleteLet's talk to them and be friends with them.
Have a wonderful day, dear Linda π❤️π§‘
Dear Linda, Pineapple cream smoothie is deliciously refreshing ππ€€ I would love to drink a glass of it now π
ReplyDeleteHow sweetly the squirrel is looking at you,those are great photos! Thanks for the good quotes and videos! good week, hugs Elke
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda for the photos of the squirrel πΏ️ and the red bus. The squirrel πΏ️ must be tame because didn't run away when you took photos. π Have a good week ahead! ☺️
ReplyDeleteI would like one of those pineapple smoothies now, please.
ReplyDeleteI talk to all animals. My cat thinks I'm a blabbermouth ;-)
Coucou !
ReplyDeleteUn grand merci pour ce beau moment de partage "cΕur Γ cΕur". Les citations sur la bienveillance et les animaux sont tellement justes et inspirantes !
Les clichΓ©s de MontrΓ©al, avec ce petit Γ©cureuil sont adorables. Merci Γ©galement pour la pause musicale et la recette gourmande.
Très belle semaine !
Bonjour , voilà une page très fournie et très interessante , toutes ces petites phrases sont à méditer ,
ReplyDeleteBravo pour tes photos de l'Γ©cureuil
Bonne journΓ©e
Je pense avoir validΓ© mon commentaire sans mes identifiants ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm a cataholic too, Linda :) Thank you for a wonderful post! The squirrel is very cute.
ReplyDeleteThese are good and good days will certainly come again, patience.
ReplyDeleteI like your photos, the bus and squirrels, good way to get them to look at you by talking to them I suppose as we don't have them here.
Just for laughs...lol
Nice post Linda.
The squirrel knows an animal lover when he sees one ♥ So cute! Have a beautiful day, Linda.
ReplyDeletep.s. thank you so much for your advice re blogger issues. That's very kind of you :)
These graphics have a terrific way to start the week.
ReplyDeleteIt amazed me that you could capture photos on squirrel. The squirrel I see at the park here usually runs everytime I point my handphone to take its photo. π Have a great day, Linda.
ReplyDeleteBellas fotografias, bien comentadas y excelente mΓΊsica para rematar este magnΓfico postaje.
ReplyDeleteSaludos
Beautiful quotes, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThe one below is really beautiful and also true.
If you want to get to know someone's true character, look at how that person treats animals.
I think your photos are beautiful.
All the best, Irma
Squirrels are such fun and crazy little creatures, hope you gave them some hazelnuts for munching.
ReplyDeleteEs war wieder schΓΆn hier zu sein. Es gibt immer etwas Interessantes zu entdecken. Das Video mit dem Kolibri ging mir richtig ans Herz .
ReplyDeleteLiebe GrΓΌΓe von Heidi
Once again a great post and videos.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely collection of thoughts and little moments, Linda. I especially liked the quote about how we treat animals revealing our true character, and your squirrel photos are adorable! The pineapple cream smoothie sounds delicious too. I always enjoy how your posts combine uplifting messages, cute animal moments and a little glimpse of life in Montreal
ReplyDeleteKisses
Oh my gosh you had so many good things today it is hard to pick.
ReplyDeleteIf we could look into each other's hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us face, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance and care. - Marvin J. Aston
Liked your little squirrel friend.
That is very true,
Loved Dolly Parton.
Liked the cat with many colors - photo number two.
The thought "May life treat you the way you treat animals" resonated with me today.
ReplyDeleteYou always have such uplifing posts. Love them all. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI linked this post to Awww Mondays.
Have a fabulous day and week, Linda. ♥
Very nice quotes and I loved the micro wave joke !!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that I can comment again. :) It was awful not to be able to do it.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and lovely cat... I wish you nice day ♥♥
ReplyDeleteLovely quotes!
ReplyDeleteThe squirrel is soooooo cute!
Have a great week!
Out of all of these, the Charlie Brown quote was my favorite. I like the delightful picture and quote. Peanuts characters always make me smile. I just made some Dolly Parton pumpkin spice cookies. Her baked goods are always so moist and yummy. You got some good pictures of the squirrel! I wish you a beautiful September, Linda.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute photos and warm and thoughtful memes.
ReplyDeleteSquirrels, dear Linda, always so cute. I just once saw one life...
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm so hungry... ;-)
Lie(f)s.
It's okay if some days feel heavier than others. Take a deep breath and be gentle with yourself. ...This time I feel perfect.
ReplyDeleteCute squirrels! I love the quotes, Linda.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so good Linda, well done capturing the squirrel.

ReplyDelete“May life treat you the way you treat animals.”
I confess that I tend to feel this way.
It is always such a sweet visit here!! Hope you are enjoying the long weekend, and have a week ahead full of blessings! xo
ReplyDeleteI always feel better when I read your blog :)
ReplyDeleteThe cat knows how to pose for the camera! Thanks for the visit.
ReplyDelete"If we could look into each other's hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us face, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance and care." Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI suspected you were a cataholic, but fortunately, it's an addiction that doesn't require treatment.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I love all the animals and quotes. That squirrel is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there cataholic groups.
ReplyDeleteYay, you got the email subscription working. I hope it wasn't too hard to get it set up.
ReplyDeleteI am also a cat - aholic! I have two, but would gladly have more.
ReplyDeleteAs you well know I am cataholic π⬛π
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing the squirrel, haven't seen one since I moved to Australia πΏ️
Another great post with nice inspirational selections.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter what time of day I pick up your posts, they always make me smile or help me reflect. I love the animal stories and the photos you take around your home city. Thank you Linda.
ReplyDeleteI'm a cataholic too, I love cats but currently don't have one.
ReplyDeleteI read that first one and at first read catholic instead of cataholic. I was wondering what cats had to do with the catholic religion...lol
ReplyDeleteHello Linda! I am late in visiting. I mis-read the Cataholic as Catholic LOL! I am very much a Cataholic :D Oh, that squirrel is so cute and its tail so bushy! I think it understands you hee..hee...
ReplyDeletemorning greetings from kuala lumpur. i have a meeting after lunch, so i'm still at home while doing some blogwalking. this time i choose this quote: It takes nothing away from a human to be kind to an animal...i love cats although i don't have them as pets at home. usually i play with stray cats at my workplace (university)
ReplyDeleteI'm a cataholic too! And I'm Mari's person too. I agree about carrying too much baggage. It's hard to travel enjoyably through life when we are dealing with too much heaviness.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! I'll be back blogging in about a week or so. In the meantime, I'm catching up with your posts that I missed while I was away. LOVE THAT SQUIRREL!
ReplyDeletecute squirrels! I enjoyed listening to the 'Islands in the stream' song that you shared here. I used to listen to that song as a kid. RIP Dolly Parton....
ReplyDeleteI'm a cataholic too...LOL!
ReplyDeleteI remember following a couple on YouTube who rescued badly treated dogs, socialised them and then found homes for dogs. People can be so good...sometimes.
ReplyDeleteLinda semana. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, oh my goodness the squirrels seem so friendly with you! I talk to squirrels too but they all just run and scamper away almost immediately. I guess the squirrels in Malaysia are all just unfriendly π₯²
ReplyDeleteWe had a squirrel visit us this morning when it was cool out, he came up on our deck and didn't seem scared of us at all. I think he was heading to the bird feeder. I agree with the one that says if we knew what was going on in others life we would be so much nicer, I feel right now that so many people just don't have patience anymore.
ReplyDeleteI love how the squirrel posed for you -- clearly it knew you were a friend! The smoothie recipe looks delicious, and the quotes gave me a gentle reminder to slow down and appreciate the blessings around me.
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear dear Dolly again, and they are indeed cute squirrels. All the best.
ReplyDeleteLovely post Thank you, the squirrels know you are a friend to them dont they!
ReplyDeleteVery soothing post.
ReplyDeleteI love your photographs of the squirrel. X
ReplyDeleteEu amo animais de todas as espΓ©cies, mas os gatos estΓ£o no topo da minha lista; tenho dois gatos lindos.

I'd like the Peanuts gang to stay in my life.
ReplyDeleteThat poor dog with the inflamed and painful skin! How on earth did he get that? I'm so glad the team were able to help him.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteLove all the cute kitty images. Cute captures of the squirrels.
The smoothie sounds delicious. Take care, have a great day!
Una muy buena entrada, amiga. Genial tu trabajo
ReplyDeleteSempre piacevole leggere i tuoi post.
ReplyDeleteAmo tutti gli esseri viventi, odio solo le zanzare,
Felice giornata, un abbraccio

The squirrel is so adorable!
ReplyDeleteSalut ! Je me suis abonnΓ© !
ReplyDeleteGlen Campbell was one of my favorites back in the day.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the squirrel photos! Perhaps more animal photography in future. Warm greetings from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteIt is true! How you treat animals and how animals come up to you is a sign of what type of a human you are. I've seen it! We all could use some "be gentle with yourself" I also like the second photo of calico cat art.
ReplyDeleteGood night ..... too cute. LOVE the squirrel. We don't have them around here any more ... so sad.
ReplyDeleteMyslΓm, ΕΎe vztah lidΓ ke zvΓΕatΕ―m se v poslednΓch letech zlepΕ‘il. KrΓ‘snΔ jsi nafotila veverku, to nenΓ jednoduchΓ©, vΔtΕ‘inou nepostojΓ. ☺
ReplyDeleteDΓky za pΓseΕ G. Campbella a hezkΓ½ den pΕeji, Lindo!
Dear Linda, thank you so much for these beautiful quotes—one of them even talks about what I'm currently writing about (a new post will be up any day now). I also talk to animals; I speak to my cats every day, but when I meet other animals, I talk to them too. I'm so sorry to hear about Dolly Parton's passing, her songs brought people so much joy. Warmest greetings and sending you big hugs!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm a catholic too. That portait at the top -- unbelievably wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. I love animals, but I Iive in an assisted living facility and at my age, (I'm 90) it is not easy. You have some great photos.
ReplyDeleteAdelaide
...and i am MeowHolic! Hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI have to give the Pineapple cream smoothie a try. Thank you for all the happy and gentle inspiration.

Thank you so much for these beautiful quotes and the pictures π₯°π₯°π₯°
ReplyDeleteSo much inspiration again in this post. And laughs too. I like the gag with the food in the microwave ☺☺☺
ReplyDeleteDe las frases aunque sea repetitivo me parecen geniales.
ReplyDeleteSupongo que las ardillas estΓ‘n muy acostumbradas a las personas y al hablarla fue cuando te miro.
El video de la broma aunque no se ve alguno igual busco el lugar por donde se esfumo el plato.
De la interpretaciΓ³n de esos dos grandes " Dolly y Kenny" solo decir que es lo esperado.
Saludos.
My favourite this time: May life treat you the way you treat animals.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda! Hugs!
a lot of cats today and i must confess, i am not a cat person. the standout for me today was "it's okay if some days feel heavier than others. take a deep breath and be gentle with yourself. i need to keep reminding myself of that!!
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice paint of that cat on picture 2.
So fantastic with these colors.
Nice pictures of the squirrel.
Many greetings,
Marco
Loved all these again...and that squirrel was hoping you had some peanuts or sunflower seeds to feed him, I bet. He sure was cute. Your posts always have so many good thoughts and things to make me stop and really think! Thank you for sharing them with us. I don't know how you find so many!!
ReplyDeleteThese sayings are all great. Enjoyed all of them. Love the cat photos.
ReplyDeleteOh my what great happy, and inspiring quotes, (and some so humorous) it makes my day. thank you so much for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteI'm a cataholic, too! We don't have one anymore, but I've had many over the years. At the moment we are loving on my daughter's new cat. He's darling and such a love.
ReplyDeleteI love animals. Even though the others terrify me. I mean the predators. But I believe they still deserve to be respected. I love these quotes!
ReplyDeleteThese were lovely, Linda. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThat quote by Anthony Douglas Williams is beautiful. It sets the tone for your blog. Your posts always do a wonderful job of reminding us how precious animals are! Thanks for sharing so much positivity! π±πΎ
ReplyDeleteFirst thing ran through my mind when I got to the animal kindness ones... "Hope we're not including bugs!"
ReplyDeleteYou always have such beautiful quotes, Linda and the squirrel is just the cutest.
ReplyDeleteI get several local cats in my garden if I'm out in my deckchair. I don't mind playing with them but I don't let them into my house as they all have owners and homes. Cute though they are.
ReplyDeleteWe don’t have squirrels here in Australia. So when I came across one in the uk I was so excited I sent a video to my kids back home.
ReplyDeleteYes. You truly see the real person when you see them interacting with an animal.
The quotes and photos of the squirrel brightened my day. Looking forward to your next post on Wednesday
ReplyDeleteFor sure the way people treat animals is all about their character!
ReplyDeleteOh, no wonder you always post pictures of cats. Now I know why. π
ReplyDeleteYes, everyone’s journey is different. Some have it easy, while others have it harder. Just enjoy the journey.
Be kind not only to people, but to animals too.
Aww... that squirrel is so cute! Such a beautiful photo.
Se aprecia bien lo que se valoriza en la vida por su importancia para cada uno de nosotros y el respeto que merece cada ser vivo, siempre es importante recordar las buenas palabras.
ReplyDeleteSaludos, buen mes de septiembre πΊπ΅️ππͺ»πΈ
"The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there." This has always been one of my favorite quotes from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Thank you for sharing it, Linda.
ReplyDeleteLove all the cats and dogs in your photos and love the quotes- that pineapple smoothie sounds like something I'll give a try. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat post
ReplyDeleteWonderful and wise quotes. Some are worth pondering. You managed to take beautiful photos of the squirrel <3
ReplyDeleteDear Linda
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet comment on my recent post. Now that it is cooler I have started visiting too, and always enjoy your posts..If you want to know the character of someone watch how they treat their animals. So true, but kindness to anyone is the way to go. I loved your cute squirrel photos Linda.
All the best
Sonjia.
Thank you for the smiles
ReplyDeleteThe good night cat is a favorite, so relaxed.
May
Aaaw look at that cute squirrel! He is a healthy fella. LOL - Rhinestone Cowboy- I love it! I haven't heard that in years. Thank you for bringing a smile to my day, Linda. Hugs.
