Roses are smiling

Image
          One week of June is already gone and we are still waiting for our summer days. This is Canada my dear. Nowadays it's not so cold and I still have to wear a jacket and sweater. It's a sunny morning, a bit windy. Wind gusts are around 48 km. I am off from work. I have to schedule some other plans for my day. I am leaving next week for England.  I have to make some calls to my friends to say goodbye. It's early morning to call. I will finish my own things. I will call them later. We call them to maintain our relationships. Calls have to be made not too early and not too late. We don't want to ruin our relationship. We have to track the right timings. It's 10.45, I think the time is right to make calls. It also depends on relationships. Some people, we are not so close. Just have a formal relationship. Keep these things in mind. Our talks have to be short. People don't have to feel trapped. We have to let them go in a reasonable time. It...

From Canada to England

Image
    It's one of another day, another morning to enjoy. We are lucky to be up to get brand new twenty four hours every morning. It is available right on our bed side.  We have to open it up, unwrap the bundle and it is ready to use. Just have to plan what to do with these twenty four hours.  Keep in mind this is a gift from God Almighty. We have to feel honored. We have to make good use of it. Doing nothing is like putting this precious gift into a bin. Don’t do that please. God won’t be happy. Plan beforehand so as not to waste any time. The time available is just for one time only. It won't be coming back. It will be gone for good. Keep that in mind. Value it and make full use of that. My sleep is not good nowadays. I have to go to England to  see my daughters by the end of the month. My flight is already booked for the twentieth of June.  I will be there for a couple of months. I have three of my daughters, my sister and some other family member...

Enjoying My Company

Image
    It's a cold sunny morning. I still have to wear a jacket but not a sweater underneath my jacket.  June has already started and we are not out of our jackets. Our winter is taking some extra miles this year. Not backing off. It's Tuesday, I am off from my work. I don't have to go to the library to play Darts today. On the days I am off work, I walk to Tim Hortons to enjoy my coffee and my time. To be with a cup of tea  / coffee, sitting quietly, is a novel experience. So peaceful. Coffee House is not a quiet place. There are people sitting around. So much traffic going on. People are coming and leaving most of the time. I think it all depends on the state of your mindset. You are focused on something, deeply involved, you don't get distracted from what's going on outside, around. I come here just to be with myself. I don't get disturbed from around. Sometimes we just want to do ā€œNothingā€. No thoughts, no plans. Everything is on hold for a while. ...

I am back in Jacket

Image
    I was happy a couple of days ago, the weather was great. People were busy making plans for summer days ahead.  Not anymore. We are back in sweaters and our long coats. I think we have to wait for a bit to hang coats and jackets back in our coat closet. It's 10.30, 6 C, a cold windy morning with gusts around 50 km. I am done with my breakfast, sitting with my computer to browse Facebook messages. I think we are lucky to have these gadgets. I mean computers and cell phones. We don't have any problem passing our time. We are not dependent on people to be with us all the time. We don't need company. To be with people is good. We are social animals after all. All depends on who the people are. They don't have to be too inquisitive or too talkative. Not too quiet. It depends on the state of our mind. Sometimes we just need a good listener. Sometimes we need to be with someone to share our coffee / tea and also a little bit of chit chat. It depends on our mood...

Walking with White Butterfly

Image
    White Butterfly, my friend is here after a long time. I am walking by the Whites Road. She is beside me.  She is fast, I am trying to cope with her steps. She is young and full of beauty. I am old at the later stages of my life cycle. Lost my beauty, lost my touch. It happens to everyone, not only in my case. This is life, comes time for all the creatures big and small.  I am now passing by the small ravine. I see here some dead trees lying down like pieces of wood in the midst of so many greens. This is life my dear. Time comes for everyone to all creatures. We have to accept it with grace. Have to enjoy our time with full zeal and fervor.  We have to celebrate every bit of our time. The time we are allotted to be here with the permission of God Almighty. White Butterfly is taking breaks to be aligned with my steps. She is so courteous. It is nice of her. In between she keeps on enjoying her time. Talking to flowers on the way.  Flowers loo...

Waiting for David Austin

Image
    It's a beautiful bright sunny morning. Sun is in full bloom, smiling from above. Yesterday it was raining all day. Everything is looking great after the shower.  My deck is neat and clean. Grass in my back garden is lush green. Beautiful view to behold to cherish your moments. My friend the Black Squirrel is busy with his exercises on the wooden fence of my garden.  The Canadian rose plant is back to life, still not any flowers not even budding. I think it will take time. I miss It's Pink flowers. David Austin, the blood red rose flower plant is a slow one. It needs extra time to revive. There is not much activity in the flower bed at the back of my garden. There are a couple of plants, not blooming.  Weather is still a bit on the cool side. Not favorable to plant. We used to get a variety of seasonal plants every year. We got some, lying in my garage, waiting for the suitable weather to plant in the flower bed. Our spring is short like our sum...

It's a Beautiful Day

    It's Tuesday, I have my day off. I don't work on Tuesdays. Monday was a close holiday because of Victoria day.  She helped Canada to make the Charter of Democracy. We remember that and celebrate. Everything was closed and only eateries were open. I enjoyed my time in Tim Hortons. It was a very long weekend for me. I will go to work tomorrow to play Darts. I believe work is like a blessing. It helps us to organize our lifestyle. We don't have to worry about how to spend our time. It helps us to be productive and also keeps us away from negativity. Schools are the same to impart a positive change in our life. We have no issues in the earlier days of our life, how to organize ourselves and to chalk out our day programs. In the later stages, we have to find hobbies to be active. Our health issues start coming up with our age. We have to keep that in mind while choosing our activities. We don’t have to be too ambitious while making our plans. With time our ne...
