I love quotes!

I have been tagged by Chicky Kadambari to take part in the 3 day Quote a Day challenge. 

 This seemed a natural challenge for me since I am a quote nut anyhow and love positive and uplifting quotes to start my day. After all, our attitude dictates our day so why not try our best to start off with a positive mindset?

I even joined a Facebook group about quote bombing as I was intrigued by the idea. People print out quotes, cut them apart and leave them around or give them out to people in the course of their day. Sounds kind of fun. I might try it.

I subscribe to quite a few quote sites. One of my favourites is Jonathan Lockwood Huie’s site http://www.jlhuie.com/

He never fails to inspire and his quotes always get my day off to a good start.

Here is one of his quotes for today made into an inspirational poster out of one of my cloud photos.

I love making inspirational quote posters as they take the quote one step further and have that much more of an impact.


How lucky we are when we can have the company of people who really get what we’re about. They don’t judge us or try to fix us, but encourage us in our dreams and aspirations. To have friends like that is a true blessing. 

 NOTE:

Chicky Kadambari tagged me for  the 3 day quote challenge. Thanks for tagging me, Chicky. Quotes are such an integral part of how I live that it’s only natural for me to blog about them.

Many of my fellow bloggers have already been tagged so I leave it open to readers to take on the challenge if they would like to do it. No pressure!

Here are the rules for anyone who would like to try.

1.   Post one of your favorite quotes (different quote on each day) on three consecutive days. The quote can be from your favorite book, author, or your own.
2.   Nominate 3 bloggers to challenge them.

3.   Thank the blogger, who nominated you.

    Who support you without meddling. I think that is what I love about blogging. The non-intrusive nature of it and the sense of community :)

    "To support you without meddling" is a sign of true friendship. ☺
    Some quotes resonate more than others. This was a good one. Thanks, Cathy.

    Too good, Cat! I too liked the line, 'To support you without meddling'. And to find such friends who applaud you as you spread your wings and fly high, is equivalent to finding the most precious treasure, ever!

#MicroblogMonday - Small Actions Do Make a Difference

Image
My family has a band made up of me on flute, my husband on bass clarinet, one son on tenor sax and the other on drums. We play music at the Presbyterian church we attend every third Sunday.  Our church congregation are a traditional, conservative bunch, not known for displaying too much emotion and often I assume that no one cares much if we play or not. Yesterday I was at a funeral for one of the members. A woman came up to me and told me how much she loves to see my sons perform and how the music just pours out of us. She always looks forward to the Sundays when we are performing and how much our music means to her. Her appreciation for our music reminded me that even small actions can have a big impact. It also reminded me that if someone does make a difference, it’s important to thank them and show your appreciation. Never assume that people know already as often they’re like me and don’t think that these small actions are a big deal. Never underestimate

#MondayMusings Acceptance of Loss and Change

This cartoon certainly touched a nerve this morning and triggered an outpouring of emotion that has evolved into this blog post. I sure miss my mom’s phone calls. That was our way of staying connected across the vast thousand mile distance between Ontario and Cape Breton.  My mom just loved to talk on the phone with friends and family, especially during the last few years of her life when she wasn’t as active anymore. She would come out to the sunroom, sit in her favourite chair (sometimes with an orange cat in her lap) and phone people. She used to put on the speaker phone which I never liked, but she found it easier and my dad could listen in, too. I used to tell her I wasn't a phone person and that I preferred email and Facebook are since I express myself best in writing.  What I wouldn't do for one of my mom’s phone calls now. Miss her every day. I'm adapting and going on, as one must do after losing a loved one, but life is defini
