Did you know? You can "rewire" your brain to be happy by simply recalling 3 things you're grateful for every day for 21 days.
Power of Positivity
Challenge: when a negative thought enters your mind, think three positive ones. Train yourself to flip the script.
Creamy avocado and egg salad
4 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped, 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and diced, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and black pepper to taste. Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish.
Did you know? When you eat just 3 carrots...
3 carrots give you enough energy to walk 3 miles, and they were first grown as a medicine, not food.
Sometimes your mind needs more time to accept what your heart already knows.
Don't be scared to start all over again. You might love your new story even more.
Demic
If you can't be a pencil that writes someone's happiness, be an eraser that helps remove their sadness.
Your smile is your logo. Your personality is your business card. And the way you make others feel is your trademark.
There are two things we get at the start of every new day...a chance and a choice.
Everyone has a million problems until they lose their health. Then they have only one. Health is the real luxury. Stay grateful.
Yesterday I did nothing and today I'm finishing what I did yesterday. :)
Good Night.
The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone on my walks here in Montreal. This is what an ambulance here looks like (rear view) You can click on any image to see a larger view.

I did not know that about carrots. How very interesting.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I love the cookie deleters! :)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting about the carrots. Guess I better eat more.
The things about being thankful and positive are so good.
Thanks for another good one!
Who knew about carrots?!! Another thoughful and wise post for us!! xo
ReplyDeleteLindas imagenes. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to use avocado instead of mayo in egg salad.
ReplyDeleteQue fofo os esquilos. Gostei da arte dos gatos e achei engraçada a frase dos cookies. E todas as frases são muito inspiradoras Linda.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog post. I enjoyed this post--lots of great quotes. My favorite is the Tech Support--gave me a chuckle!
ReplyDeleteInteresting sayings. And it is not just carrots, but all the other vegetables and fruits we grow with our own hands in our gardens that serve as a true remedy for us. Don't you think?
ReplyDeleteThank you everything is very uplifting. Interesting about the carrots and the 3 things of gratitude to rewire your brain. Thanks.
ReplyDelete...Linda, I love Peggy Collins' Art Nouveau style! Ands I didn't know about carrots. We always joked that carrots were good for your eyes, because rabbits don't wear glasses. Thanks for sharing this fun post.
ReplyDeleteTech Support deleting the cookies, hahahahaha! My I.T. Guy is coming tomorrow to install my new computer system, yay! Maybe I should feed cookies to him! No, he'll want a cheque instead, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try to paint the cats' in your first photo.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I love to eat salad and Greek yogurt. I noticed there is a typo of green yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. Thanks to your clock, I know now is your bedtime. 🌙 Good night 😴 💤 sleep well 🌇
ReplyDeleteHi dear friend, thank you 😊 so much for telling me about the typo. I have corrected it.
DeleteDear Linda, the squirrel 🐿️ looks big, much bigger than the tree shrews we get here. Surprisingly the squirrel 🐿️ is not afraid of you. I couldn't get any photos of the tree shrews here because they ran away when I tried to take photos of them. Have a good night sleep 😴💤
ReplyDeleteIf the white cat had more yellow on it on that first picture, it would look like my two cats. I started a notebook that I would put 3 things I was grateful for each day, but haven't used it in quite awhile, I will need to start that again :). Cute picture of the squirrel, we have had one coming up on our deck and visiting a few days now, the cats love watching him.
ReplyDeleteOh, are the ambulance vehicles in Montreal yellow colour? Here mostly is white.
ReplyDeleteLove the cookie "deleters".
ReplyDelete"No person or job is worth your mental health." Linda, you always find the best images to share, and you always have one or more that especially speaks to me. The video of Mama Deer and her baby is sweet.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Loved the tech support! lol!
ReplyDeleteGlad the fawn got freed! :)
That first cat painting is beautiful, the egg salad recipe looks yummy, and there are so many good quotes. I got a good chuckle out of the picture of the dogs from tech support who came to delete the cookies, haha. Is it okay if I share it?
ReplyDeleteYesterday I did nothing and today I'm finishing what I did yesterday. Had to LOL a few times :-) Thanks, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI am one of those weird humans who can’t abide carrots unless they are roasted to the point where they no longer taste like carrots.
ReplyDeleteLike John, I'm not a huge fan of carrots (sadly) and much prefer them cooked. That squirrel looks very well-fed!!
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, I'm having a hectic week, your post helps ❤️😊
ReplyDeleteTeehee, delete our cookies 🤭
. . . I must come here again in the afternoon when I come home from class. Have a wonderful day 🧡
Funny videos! Thank you, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a lovely picture of a cat—and all the others with quotes and sayings are great, too.
ReplyDeleteThe ambulance looks different from the ones in Germany and that squirrel is just so cute.
You’ve put together some great videos. Thanks, and I wish you a wonderful few days.hugs Elke
Partager les p'tits bonheurs quotidiens avec son compagnon de vie est la plus grande satisfaction que je souhaite à tout le monde! 🧑🤝🧑💏
ReplyDeleteLoving all the animal memes today, Linda! And the squirrel is adorable! Wishing you a wonderful day ahead, hugs 🌼💜
ReplyDeleteFartei-me de rir com a imagem dos cães a apagarem os cookies! xD Obrigado por mais uma publicação cheia de boa energia. Abraços! 🤗
ReplyDeleteGood morning Linda,
ReplyDeleteThe first picture is my favorite.
I follow blogs via Feedly. Pretty easy to use indeed.
I wish you a happy rest of the week.
Love the memes as always, some do make me smile and others make me think. Good for my mind, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThe ambulances there are very square, glad you showed us a photo of one and your photos of the squirrel are nice running down the tree there.
Those symbols would be loud banged near your head, but the people took it in good fun. The remainder of the videos were/are nice too.
Hello Linda,
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely quotes these are.
This one put a smile on my face.

The photo is amazing.
The creamy avocado and egg salad looks truly delicious.
You took some beautiful photos, too.
All the best, Irma
Good shots of the squirrel.
ReplyDeleteLinda, this meme "We are from tech support. We are here to delete your cookies." made me laugh out loud! Thanks for cheering me up! I also love your photos of the cute squirrel :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear friend Linda. I´ll write 3 things being grateful for down for (at least) 21 days!
ReplyDeleteAnd the other challenge - will do!.
That salad sounds very yummy, too!
A yellow-blue ambulance! Here it depends what organization they belong to.
Loud fawn and oh, to happy animals, much love and warm hugs on the way.
The deer story was lovely.
ReplyDeleteafternoon greetings from kuala lumpur..i had a meeting in the morning and now working from home after lunch hour...for today, i choose this quote: Kindness begins with the understanding that we all struggle... we have our own struggle indeed! i love the squirrel in the pic that u share! it is so cute and adorable! take care dear linda
ReplyDeleteAlways great quotes ! And thoughs !
ReplyDeleteHug
Anna
There are so many things we need to think about and consider. Think positively, and hopefully what comes out of it will be positive too. Thank you for sharing such inspiring words.
ReplyDeleteThat squirrel is so cute! It looks a little chubby compared to the ones I’ve seen before.
Tech support is cute.
ReplyDeleteMuito lindas as imagens, fotos e frases!
ReplyDeleteGostei de ver! beijos, chica
Ton billet est une vraie bulle d'optimisme et de fraîcheur !
ReplyDeleteBonne journée.
These are all good ones but the tech support made me laugh
ReplyDeleteYour posts are packed with positive energy. I really like that! The world needs to feed on more goodness and light instead the glum and darkness. Every negative thought or vibe is not of God. That's the first thing I tell myself, then I pray to ask Jesus' light to dash away the dread. When I'm feeling unwell or bad about something I remind myself how truly blessed I am because there is always someone in a place worse off than me and I ask God to let those people know they are not alone that He has His hands on them.
ReplyDeleteThe carrot quote is really interesting. I had no idea! We definitely need to eat more of those little jewels. I feel tired most days, perhaps if I incorporate more carrots into my diet then I'll feel better. It's worth a try. :)
You offer us funny and heartwarming videos. We all need to laugh and smile more, don't we? And...you cap things off with music - the very thing that gets my heart pumping. I love, love music!
I remember Tennessee Ernie Ford mostly from his appearances on The Beverly Hillbillies portraying a bluegrass country singer. I think I've heard this version of His Eye Is On The Sparrow, but didn't know it was him. He sounds so different. I quite enjoyed his beautiful rendition.
The Beatles are a classic. "We Can Work It Out" is a good ole oldie!
You're most welcome anytime to add your posts to Monday's Music Moves Me, if you'd like. No pressure, just an invite my dear.
Have a blessed week! xo
Es un placer estar y ver tan bello post ha sido un
ReplyDeletebuen encuentro con tus trabajos Linda , feliz semana
saludos .jr.
I've always loved carrots, and now I know why! I need to get back into eating one every day. I used to do that when I was healthier!! That, and an apple! Loved the cats and the squirrel too...he's a chunky one! I love the Beatles song and Tennessee Ernie Ford is so good!!! Love that song too. It's all good...thank you for this pleasant start to my day!
ReplyDeleteYour posts always provide me with food for thought! Lately I have been buying carrots that have three colours in the bag and have been snacking on three a day, one of each colour. I had no idea the added benefit of this, I was just enjoying the taste!
ReplyDeleteThe squirrel is positively adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe tech support crew is my favourite today.
ReplyDeleteI love the first cat picture, Gustav Klimt-style!
ReplyDeleteBom dia, Linda
ReplyDeleteÓtimas frases, gostei muito dessa: "Há duas coisas que recebemos no início de cada novo dia... uma oportunidade e uma escolha". A mamãe cervo é um amor e a raposa é bem animada. Um forte abraço.
"If you can't be a pencil that writes someone's happiness, be an eraser that helps remove their sadness." Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOnce again you have made my day. Great post and videos.
ReplyDeleteSO many negative thoughts. I'm going to try your three to one ratio and see if it helps. Thanks Linda!!!
ReplyDeleteOh these are so great! Love the pencil and eraser one. My childhood friend grew up on a "game farm" she had all kinds of pets like the fox. The fox are a little musty smelling. Oh, the baby deer too. Thanks for sharing. Have a great rest of your week.
ReplyDeleteSabía que las zanahorias originales eran moradas pero no que tuviesen usos curativos.
ReplyDeleteMe encanto la foto de los que vienen a eliminar coques y la frase que nos recuerda que lo mas importante es nuestra salud.
Los videos de animales me encantaron.
Saludos.
Wonderful quotes. Kindness does indeed begin with the understanding that we all have problems.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of the squirrel in the tree.
Interesting videos.
I love the first picture of the cats, it sure would make a great diamond art. Great messages today. Thank you for the nice comment you left on my blog, have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this fact about carrots!
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, thank you once again for so many thoughts that push us to reflect more deeply on every aspect of our lives. Thank you for the time you dedicate to this.
ReplyDeleteSquirrel looks fat for the winter. I love the artsy cats up first.
ReplyDeleteThat avocado and egg salad sounds just amazing!
ReplyDeleteRewiring our brain to be happy is an amazing thought.🐱 It’s incredible how a simple daily habit can shift our whole perspective. Thank you for the gentle reminder today.🐾😺
ReplyDeleteThat is a healthy squirrel and so cute. It is interesting to see what ambulances look like in different areas. Mmm the avocado and egg salad sounds amazing- and healthy too. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. I will definitely try it. Have a blessed and beautiful day, Linda. Hugs.
ReplyDeletevery beautiful post thank you
ReplyDeleteYour smile is your logo. Your personality is your business card. And the way you make others feel is your trademark.
ReplyDeleteI love, love the above quote you shared. Thank YOU!

AND MY FAVORITE ...your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card...and the way you make others feel is your trademark. thanks for these words today!!
ReplyDeleteOur ambulances are about the same, dear Linda.
ReplyDeleteI love your 'squirrel'photos!
Super gag! :-)
Lie(f)s.
I went to poetry last week, and a new poet had a profound message in his missive - "we all have two lives - and it is when we realise that we only have one life that our second life starts"
ReplyDeletethe dogs and the cookies made me smile, thank you!
ReplyDeleteLovely art and quotes, dear Linda. Beautiful photos of the squirrel.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I think I am the one who did nothing yesterday and nothing today and tomorrow I am going to finish what I started!
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting about the carrots, and I did not know that. I try to get them at the grocery store each time, cause I know they are healthy for us. Interesting that they were first grown as medicine. Your ambulances are very different than ours here. They are white here in California. Thanks for the inspiration, Linda. And happy fall!
ReplyDeletePeggy Collins is an amazing artist. The dogs willing to delete cookies made me giggle. I need to resume keeping a daily journal; for decades I started each entry with five blessings. :D Hugs, my dear.
ReplyDelete😊😊 Ciao cara Linda, un saluto e un abbraccio

Boa noite minha querida amiga Linda. Obrigado pela visita e comentário. Gosto muito das suas reflexões. A minha preferida é "Às vezes, sua mente precisa de mais tempo para aceitar o que o seu coração já sabe". Uma excelente noite de quinta-feira, para você e seus familiares na Canadá e um grande abraço do seu amigo carioca. Suas fotos ficaram lindas. Espero retornar a Cachoeiras de Macacu é fazer vídeos das lindas cachoeiras da cidade.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for a post full of inspirational words and memes.
I do enjoy avocados, so thank you for the recipe and interesting about carrots!
Enjoy the rest of your week.
All the best Jan
I love that first feline illustration!
ReplyDeleteI'm very good at deleting cookies too. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have so much good stuff in this post! I love the cat pictures! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe squirrel photos made me smile, and the “delete your cookies” gave me a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these little sparks of joy with us. 🌸
Loved the 1st photo 😍
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes and beautiful videos!
ReplyDeleteMany greetings
Thank you for these, I am glad the baby deer was rescued.
ReplyDeleteMe encantan las ardillas en los parques.
ReplyDeleteEs como estar en un cuento.
Afternoon greetings from Kuala Lumpur. The haze is getting better, so I can see blue sky again, though it's not that blue yet... For today, I choose this quote: Don't be scared to start all over again. You might love your new story even more... Take care, dear Linda
