Being Mindful and Happy critters

 Good morning bloggers and others. Are you enjoying summer?




Minneapolis, Linden Hills neighborhood.

Welcome to 

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS 



and I'm posting to City Daily Photo


Step out and enjoy the day and wherever it takes you.




Lake Harriet, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

A solemn reminder, winter has melted away, spring has earthed new beginnings, and yet there are broken pieces lodged within the hearts of many yet. Corretta Scott King answers it best, as healing is still a process.

"Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated." A reminder that holding onto hate toward a city or its people can harm you more than it harms them. 





Renew your passions daily.





"We are made to persist that's how we find out who we are."

Tobias Wolff

You Are Stronger than You Think You Are.










Balance is beautiful.
Miyoko Ohno



If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

Jack Kornfield 



Beauty is whatever gives joy.

Sailing away. Have you ever wanted to learn, this is the place. Book your classes here. It's never too early or too late to learn to learn and enjoy sailing.

Never let yesterday use up today.

Richard Nelson



The art of pursuing is rewarding.



Does this appear to be a face?




The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love.
 What seeds will you plant there?
Jack Kornfield




Life is a marvelous, transitory adventure.
Nikki Giovanni 





Laughter is an instant vacation.
Milton Berle




It was a most delightful June of family milestones and one of those special celebrations was sharing my granddaughter Lyra's birthday. A treat we don't always get to enjoy with her home in Alabama.





Happy 17th birthday sweet Lyra.




We thank you Gary and Teressa for making this special for all of us.





Somewhere, sometime there's always a light

 in the corner of your world.




We have a world to conquer, one person at a time, starting with ourselves.

Nikki Giovanni



Find your passion and pursue it with

 your hold heart and single mind.

Gail Sheehy
