Easy like Sunday.  :)

Cat Wisdom 101


Sometimes you have to accept the fact that certain things will never go back to how they used to be.


Sometimes we can't find the thing that will make us happy...because we can't let go of the thing that was supposed to.


You can't change how people treat you or what they say about you. All you can do is change how you react to it. - Mahatma Gandhi


Then, just like magic, all the potholes were filled.  :)


This year taught me that my loneliness has more to do with myself than anyone else. The loneliest I will ever be is when I do not have the strength to love myself. - Marianna Paige


I have depression, but I prefer to say "I battle" depression, 
 instead of "I suffer" with it. Because depression hits, but I hit back. Battle on.

Happiness is making enough decisions that have a delayed benefit. - Dr. Greg Kushnick, Voice of Motivation


Happiness is being happy by yourself and for yourself. Good morning.



Misery loves company, but that doesn't mean you have to accept the invitation. - Gary Renard


If one speaks or acts with a cruel mind, misery follows, as the cart follows the horse...if one speaks or acts with a pure mind, happiness follows, as a shadow follows its source. - The Dhammapada


If you see someone who is trying to make you angry or upset, don't react. It is not your job to make negative people happy.
My Positive Outlooks


I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains. - Anne Frank
Spirituality & Health


Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars. - Khalil Gibran


It's not less "manly" to seek mental help.


Just because you can't see mental illness like you could see a broken bone, doesn't mean it's not as detrimental or devastating to a family or an individual. - Demi Lovato

Having a mental disorder isn't easy, and it's even harder when people assume you can just "get over it."

You are imperfect, permanently and inevitably flawed. And you are beautiful. - Amy Bloom

The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone on December 28th here in Montreal. Note that it was a sunny day, but very cold! It is always colder in the Winter on sunny days than on snowy days. You can click on any image to see a larger view.


This last photo is icicles hanging from a building. I always tell people that if you are going into a building or store and you see icicles like this above you, put your head down. This way, if any icicle falls on you, you should not sustain any injury, as it will fall onto your hat and not your face.

This was a large flock of pigeons in a small park near a metro station in Montreal.


The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy!  :)
