How Cats Make us Smile
Top 10 Smallest and Cutest Birds in the World
The following is a book that falls perfectly into my nature themed post here. Last Child in the Woods - Saving our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder
For the following, I am providing the link sources beneath each photo. You just need to click on the images to see a larger view.
Kindness - The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog.
Faith makes everything possible. Hope makes everything work. Love makes everything beautiful. May you have all three as you begin each day.
The more things you do, the more you can do.
To make a difference in someone's life, you don't have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful or perfect. You just have to care.
Here are the values that I stand for: honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you want to be treated and helping those in need. To me, those are traditional values.
A new week...today is the start of a new adventure. New challenges to face, new memories to make and new obstacles to overcome.
Give me sunshine on my shoulders and flowers in my path.
You don't have to see the whole path...just the first step.
Thank you all so much for visiting me here! I always appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share.
Lovely birds:)

Another truly phenomenal post, Linda!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the "Essence of Life" one...it really spoke to me.
Much Love & Hugs xoxoxo
Good morning, dear Linda! I enjoyed the sound of the cello and xylophone combined with a static shot of water and lush greenery. I also enjoy taking nature walks and have learned to pause and examine smaller creatures like insects, toads and lizards. They are all beautiful in their own way. After avoiding contact with cats most of my life I have come to understand and appreciate them in recent years. The piece on small species of birds reminds me of my "miracle pet," a zebra finch, that I raised from an egg. She was so tame that she took rides around the house on my hand several times a day. I miss her!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, dear friend Linda!

ReplyDeletea lovely collection of encouragement today, Miss Linda! Thank you so much! Thanks for starting my week out just right! I am beginning to feel a little better. Still difficult to use my fingers, as my hand-eye coordination is very poor, and the fatigue is exhausting! LOL But I can sit up now for brief periods of time, and enjoy doing some things around the house. I have missed your wonderful blog very much. love, de

Hi Linda, Top 10 Smallest and Cutest Birds in the World ... very cool and interesting!
ReplyDeleteNaturally I homed in on the ten smallest and cutest birds. I found some familiar birds there so have to agree with Goldcrest, American Goldfinch and Bananaquit. Thanks Linda.
ReplyDeleteI think the gag people have to be careful sometimes; a snotty interviewer could get punched in the mouth! :) Love the cat smiles. Mine makes me smile all the time!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Linda. Very cool here in Amherstburg this morning. I enjoyed the video about Panama. On my cruise I went to Costa Rica & Panama and on my excursions I saw many different interesting creatures, aniamals and vegetation. I hope to come back some day.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day my friend. See ya.

I agree, the world would be a better place if we all adopted the attitudes of the dogs! I think the saying is "Bark less, wag more."

A really interesting post and I see you took a lot of time to make it just right. Thanks for your time and enjoy a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis was a wonderful post, Linda! The cello/rain video really resonated with me. I think "The Last Child in the Woods" is an important book, and it highlights something seriously amiss in modern childhood. Another classic was written by Rachel Carson: "A Sense of Wonderful." It is heartbreaking how divorced from nature we are becoming. It does not bode well for the future. I think that a lot of the problems we have in school with distractible, hyperactive kids is that they are not getting enough time outdoors. Loved the new week quote! So many people groan when Monday rolls around; but it's so true, what a wonderful gift a brand new week is. That Princess Sassy image is beautiful and profound. Have a lovely Tuesday, my Montreal friend!
ReplyDeleteThe videos of the cats really made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely quotes too:)
Tiny birds are HUGE in my book!
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha, A just for laugh is so gross!!! I think I will search for tissue in my purse right away. Nice cello music!
