Birds to the South

  It's a windy cold day with 19 C below zero feels 25 C below. Not usual for Toronto.  Gusts are around 60 km. It is not good to go for a walk. The snow is still around. The walkways are usually cleared off. I think there will still be some icy patches on the way because of the weather condition. I will skip my walk today. Whatever is there is there. Have to accept We always have our plan “ B” ready to switch. I just checked my table calendar. I have to do my hair wash. I also have to wash my clothes. Just a small load of laundry. I have to make some calls too. I think I have enough to get busy indoors. I will spend some time in my kitchen making something for my family to put at the dinner time. I am happy. Nothing to worry about. I have enough to make my day. My grandson, the youngest one, just came to my room to let me know that he will go to gym in about half an hour. He told me to drop anywhere on the way. So nice of him. I quickly switched my plans from plan “ B “ to pla...

Enjoying my morning

-
Image
    One more day, one more morning. I feel lucky to get more chances to do what I want.  To plan about the things I was not able to go forward with. I have time now to go ahead. We have to take one day at a time. Take mornings as the face of our day. Try to welcome it with a smiley face. No matter how hard our nights are. Just forget it. Keep it behind like your past. The past is done. We have to believe. Try to move forward with high spirit. We can't change anything with our past. To think about the days are done is just a waste of time Try to filter your moments. We have to rewind only the moments of happiness. We have to filter out the memories of our struggles. We all have ups and downs all through the journey of life. Life is  a combo with mixed moments. Sometimes we have to pass through the troubled roads on the way. We have to admire how we handled all that. Admire to deal with sweet and the moments hard and bitter. Never feel pity for yourself. Never take you...

Coffee is hot

Image
  It is a beautiful morning today. The winter storm is done. Lots of snow is still around.  Roads and pathways are cleared.Thanks to the city workers. It is too slushy.Not a good situation to walk for people of my age. I don't have to get carried away. Not going to take any chances. The weather is great. It is 2 C not below zero. It just started drizzling. Not a heavy rain. It is 10.30. My son is planning to go to the gym. I will go with him to the Pickering Town Center.  Town Center is just opposite to the gym. He will drop me there on the way. I will enjoy my time and my coffee at the mall. It is 11.15, I am walking in Town Center to top up my steps.  We don't have much chance to add up our steps in winter time. Winter is tough in Canada. We are not able to go for our walks most of the time. The months of January and February are really tough to manage. We have to take cars to go to malls. To stay indoors and to have some walk over there. We take our chances in bet...

White Cottony Flowers

-
Image
  It's a cloudy morning, hazy sky. The sun has taken a break today I think. It has been snowing since night.  The weather channel predicted that it would snow all day long. I can see a thick slab of ice on the glass top of my steel garden table. The red garden chair my son got from the Canadian Tire store years ago is loaded with ice. Lush green grass in my back garden is covered under a thick white blanket. The situation is the same with my front garden. The red wooden bench is half embedded under snow and loaded with a thick white cushion. The trees around look like skeletons decorated with white powder. The white Cottony like flowers making the trees beautiful. It is an amazing atmosphere to behold. Every season is unique with its own beauty. So is the winter. It is so calm and peaceful all around. The cars on the driveways in my neighborhood are standing waiting for orders to move. I can't see anyone outside. I think people are enjoying their time indoors with their famili...

Brand new day

-
Image
  Another brand new day, another bundle of twenty four hours.  We humans are so lucky to have so much every morning. Opportunities to do what we want. What we wish to do. We get another chance. Chance to carry on our left out plans. Another chance to work on our dreams to make it happen. Mornings are great. We have to value it with open hearts. Try to welcome every morning with a smiley face. Sometimes our nights are not good. We can’t sleep well. Our body parts are not listening to us to calm down to let us have a good night sleep. At the later stages of our life we start getting so many other things to sort out in our days as well as in our nights. We don't have to overshadow our morning’s beauty with the baggage of our problems. Try to take your day like a clean slate. Start with a positive attitude. Get ready to print something positive. Take mornings like a gift from God Almighty. Don't have to ruin that with our negative thoughts. God won't be happy with that. Take a ...

White fence by roadside

-
Image
  It's nearly mid January wintry days and still not much snow around.  I see only silver linings on the walkways and a low white fence of snow by the roadside. It is the beauty of Toronto that snow here doesn't stay long. I remember the winter in Ottawa. I used to live there around thirty years ago. Winter was tough over there. Ice used to float on the surface of water even in the month of May. Snow piled up all around the city and looked like a hillock. We had to deal with the frozen doors of cars and to start also used to be a challenge. Here in Toronto we don't have to deal with such problems. Today the weather is nice. It is still cold and windy. There are no icy patches, that is enough to go for a walk. We have to make use of the available circumstances. Things change, so is life. Our health will not be the same as today. Anything might happen at any age God forbid. We can't predict what will be in the coming days. We have to make our present, our today. Take one d...

I am at Coffee House

Image
  Beautiful day. The weather is great for a couple of days. No icy patches on walkways.  I am no longer scared to go for my walk. It is 9.30, I started my day a bit late today. We humans are not robots. We can not go on strict timetables. So many factors influence our mood. It takes turns in whatever direction it wants to. Our mood reflects on our entire personality. How we start our day. How our nights go all depends on our moods. Everything around us influences our mood. Our mood is the key to how our attitude goes. Our happy moods take us to a positive attitude. Everything looks good. Nothing bothers. When we are not in a good mood things start bothering us. We start getting irritated out of nothing. Our attitude dips all the way from positive to negative. Our perspective changes entirely. The people around, friends and family all. We start looking at them as selfish people. We start losing interest in life. Thinking of ourselves as losers, unlucky. We are used by the peopl...
