    November 19th 2024 Beautiful morning, no rain, no snow. It is cold 5 C, what else do we expect these days? December is getting closer. We are ready for snow anytime soon. We are all set, and learned our lessons on how to cope with all that. No worries. We humans are amazing creatures. We adjust to any circumstances, able to handle and to make our time. We Canadians have a list of winter sports. Ice hockey, skating, fishing, snowboarding and so many other things make our days. We have cleats to walk on our frozen waters. We just bundle up to hit the roads. Nothing stops our day to day activities. Sun also comes out most of the time to brighten our days. I think he also learned his lessons to handle 25 C below zero temperatures. It is the beauty of  Canada. Sun goes back early to take rest under his hazy blanket. He must be cold, wants to warm up. We have to switch lights on, sometimes even at 4 pm. We know that the sun has to leave early. He needs a break too. There Is

I am Celebrating

    November 16th 2024 It's 10 in the morning. Cold windy day with 4C. I started late today. Some nights are not so good for us. At our age, every day brings its own story, so is every night. It is great that we are capable of handling everything whatever is there to face. That is more than enough to feel lucky. Thanks to God Almighty for watching over us, keeping us mobile and giving enough energy to face and tackle our day to day matters.  We have to take one day at a time. Try to chalk out your plan to move on to go ahead. Plan things to do taking health and safety into account. Everything will work out. It won't be any pressure. Things can happen at any age, at any time, God forbid. Age doesn't matter. We have to be more careful at the later stage of our life. Take extra precautions. That's it.  We don't have to take the older days of our life as our miserable period. Some nights and some days can be tough for anyone at any age. Try to avoid making

Gold in my garden

              November 12th 2024 It's 1.15, I am at Tim Hortons. It is a cold day at 4 C, single digit. In around mid November, what else do we expect? This is Canada my dear. It was a busy morning for me. My son had to leave with his wife to Pearson airport for a ten day trip. I checked my table calendar for things to do. I realized that I had to change my bed sheets. Had to do laundry for that. I also had a small load of my clothes. I was busy with all that. Usually I go for walks at 11.30 or so. I wanted to see off my son and my daughter in law. Doesn't matter, I can go later for my walk. Family has always to be a priority. No matter what. To be with your loved ones and doing things for them, gives you a sort of real happiness. These are rare moments. We can not get from doing things for our own self. You feel inner life peace out of that. My grandkids are staying with me. They are not kids anymore I  know that. Two are working and the youngest one is in third

Pebbles all washed and clean

     November 9th 2024 It's 10.30 in the morning, I am at a different spot on the lake. It is sort of a forest and a small body of water is running through it. You can enjoy water from everywhere. Sun is shining in full bloom, and the sky is deep blue in color. Water is very clear, I can see through everything deep down. Pebbles look all washed and clean underneath. Water is displaying a beautiful scenic view. There is so much to see, to observe. I am standing on the walking bridge to watch and absorb all the beauty. On my left, the water is very calm and quiet. On my right is a very different scenario. Water is in a festive mood, playing music. I am enjoying the rhythm. It is like a symphony, so melodious. You can get inner peace. It is like Meditation. Anyway I am done here. It's 11.15. I have to go to Coffee house to have a taste of a different atmosphere. Planning of your day requires a variety of events to cover, to fill in the columns of our day Planning she

Enjoying my coffee

    November 5th 2024 It's 12.15, my morning was busy with some calls to make. I quickly winded all that as time was running out for my walk. It is Tuesday so I don't have to go to work.  I have to plan out my day on my own. I try to mix and match distributing time, some physical, some enjoyment and some, time with my family. Walks, I take like physical. Time with computer to have enjoyment, playing scrabble, card games and watching my favorite shows.  Time in the kitchen to make some dishes for my family to enjoy at the dinner table. I take it as my family time. While making our day plan, we have to take it like an spreadsheet. Fill all the columns taking everything into account. Time for your own self to enjoy and also for your loved ones to share with them. Sometimes we live on our own. Our children are not there. They are away, live somewhere else. We have to plan some time to be with neighbors or with the people in the household, we live in. Whatever is available

Gold copper all around

    November 2nd 2024 It is Saturday 8.30 in the morning, I am sitting in my kitchen enjoying breakfast and the view of my back garden.  Marigolds are smiling courageously. Gold, brick red, coffee and bronze aĺl color of leaves are scattered around in my garden. Canadian pink roses are done for the season. Same is with the blood red David Austin roses. Grass is covered by leaves, still I see some yellowish green patches on the green lawn of my garden. Lush green season of my lawn is also done for now. Things change. This is the nature of the cycle of life. Take it and try to enjoy whatever is available. Weather is like a roller coaster nowadays. We were waiting for the real winter. October was like a mixed plate with some hot and some cool days in between. November has started. Yesterday was not cold in Toronto. Today looks a bit chilly. I am getting ready for my walk with everything on. Long coat with sweater underneath and wearing my warm pants. Taking my gloves, red woolen stole and

Nature is great

     October 29th 2024 It's a different scenario today. Cloudy morning hazy sky. Sun is hiding under his gray blanket. It is Tuesday so I don't have to go to work. No Darts today at the library. It is a day off for me. I have to make other plans to make my day. Day offs are like clean slates. We have to write our schedule to fill out the columns of the day. When we have to go to work or school, our timings are all set.  We don't have to worry about how to pass our time. We have just a couple of hours left to sort out after coming back from our workplace or school. Weekends and day offs are tricky. We need some homework to fill out our day slots. Try to make it like a combo, a mixed plate to have a taste of everything. Day offs are like blank sheets. We can write, paint, whatever we want to do, to fill out. Every day is like a container with twenty four hours of consignment. It's delivered every morning.  We have to open it and use to finish it up. It all has to be done
