Thought Of The Day

  Bright beautiful morning. The sun is shining in full bloom to make our day brighter. So nice of him.  Too much snow around. There was a snow storm the day before. Roads and walkways are cleared off. Thanks to the city workers. It's still too slushy to go for walks. We have to be cautious, and have to be extra careful. Safety is top priority for everyone at any age. It matters a lot for people of my age. Any mishaps will be disastrous. We will be done for the rest of our life. Not good to be a burden for our kids. They are already tied up with their work and family matters. We have to manage things on our own as long as we can, taking health and safety into account. We don't have to get carried away. Nowadays think twice before getting out. Try to get busy with some indoor things. Get busy with watering flower pots. Books and magazines are good to go through in this weather. The kitchen is the best option of all times. We can mix and match things to get products of our choice...

    Dear Readers, I miss comments from you people. Covid changed so much in our life. It's not the same. Anyway we have to accept whatever is there. Hope things are fine with my Readers Family in Ireland. My friend the Cafe Manager is following the city directives. Not opening the Cafe on close holidays. The Reader doing two jobs must be listening to my friends, I mean to his supervisors. I hope everything is fine with my Retiree friends. Everyone please respect the sentiments of others. Religion and politics are very sensitive. Please don't talk about it. It's too personal for everyone. I am worried about Hannah and Niklas. I hope Kris is taking good care of them. Father has to leave them alone to enjoy their life. My dear Students, I love to see you people shine in your practical life onward. Have patience and focus on your studies and career. Say Hi to my friends Chancellor, Dean, George, Lucy and all your teachers. Thanks. My friends at the office, Jimmy, Tiara, Cleo, ...

Today is December the 26th. Christmas is done. It is Boxing Day. People must be lined up in shopping malls. They wait for the special deals all year. It is a bright sunny day, snowing since early morning. The weather channel is predicting it will be all day. Let's see. We have to take whatever is there. My grandson, the eldest one, is going to get his morning coffee. He offered to drop me off at the Coffee House. So nice of him. I am getting ready to go. It is 10.45, I am at Tim Hortons. It's very quiet here. Tables are vacant. The drive through is also not busy. I got my favorite spot, enjoying my coffee and my time alone. I can see through the windows snow blowing and it is still snowing. I took my chances to come here, going back will be tough. We have to think twice before making any decisions. We don't have to get carried away. Anyway, it is done. I will keep that in mind for the next time. I think that we get carried away as we know that not much time left for us. We...

    Merry Christmas Happy Holidays         to my Dear Readers Family Beautiful morning bright sunny day. The weather is also good. Perfect day for walks.  Tomorrow is December the 25th Christmas day. Everyone is in a festive mood. People are busy getting and exchanging presents. Gifts are always a symbol of love. Matters a lot for everyone. It helps to maintain relationships. Gifts don't have to be precious or too expensive. The thoughts have to be genuine while giving presents to others. The person is important to others. Gifts are secondary. Sometimes people keep even small gifts for years like souvenirs. The person is the key. Sentiments are important, not valuable presents. To give presents is important to maintain the existing relationships. It also helps to initiate new relationships. Malls are busy, packed with customers. Everyone is busy with last minute shopping. I was busy last week, not much just getting a couple of cards and ...

    Snowy day cloudy morning. The sun is not yet out of his grey blanket.  I think he may be up till late at night,  and must be partying with friends.  The weather is not too bad. Not too cold. It's 10.30, I am already done with my breakfast. Not much to do at home. I checked my table calendar. I did my hair wash yesterday. My laundry was already done last week. I changed my bed sheets and did the washing. I am now done with that for about a week. I am getting ready for my trip to Tim Hortons. To take some time out from my computer. It will be good to be away from the screen for a while. The roads and walkways are cleared off from snow still it is a bit slushy to walk. I have to walk carefully taking small steps. These couple of months used to be scary for me. We at our age have to be extra cautious. We know that any mishaps will be disastrous for us. We will be done for the rest of our life God forbid.  It doesn't mean that we have to become couch potatoe...

  Days pass quickly, time flies so is life. We rarely try to think about that. Seasons go on changing. Days done to give space to nights. Mornings shift from noon to dusk. We keep traveling on the path our life tracks. Passing through the stages of life.  Keep on changing ourselves from childhood to adults and finally to the last leg of our life. I think we rarely admire ourselves for that, I mean at the last leg of our life. We mostly become sad and gloomy.  Most of us keep thinking about the days done. Take the memories of the past as their golden period. The time that won't be coming back.  I don't believe in wasting time and life for the days already done. Waiting for our calls from Almighty to leave. I think we have to celebrate for the time we traveled through. Passing every stage of life with patience, energy and grace. We have to admire and give credit to ourselves for being here at this stage of life. We have to feel happy and strong. We have to believe in o...

  It's Thursday December the 18th. Beautiful bright sunny morning. The weather is not bad. It is 2 C not below zero.  New Year is just around the corner. Not many, just a couple of days left. The Year 2025 will be a history. People are excited to make big plans to welcome the new year. To celebrate in whatever way they can.  The end of the year comes with a bunch of holidays. Some stay to party at home. Some plan holiday trips. Some are excited to manage their health. Make plans to visit gyms regularly. They chalk out their diets charts. To follow strictly. Most of the plans fizzle out after a couple of weeks.  By the month of February, things start getting cool off. Excitement and focus start losing its intensity. I think everyone gets carried away while making plans. Plans have to be practical not to fill up the books. We have to take our stamina, our strength and our personality into account while making any commitments. We don't have to overdo it. Not taking part...
