Life goes on

-
Image
   January 14th 2025 Time flies so fast, it's around two weeks already after everyone was celebrating the new year. Anyway life goes on no matter what. Ups and downs, good and bad, sweet and sour, all moments keep on coming on the way. Life goes on. Seasons go on changing, we keep on flipping our calendar to keep ourselves updated. Nothing stops. Life goes on. We keep on losing our loved ones, getting busy making new relationships. Life goes on. This is the beauty of life. We keep on crossing stages of our lives sometimes with victory, sometimes with hard, bitter experiences. We keep on forgetting all that as nothing stops. Nothing stays forever. We are busy throughout our lives, until the last leg of our life. Last leg of life is a bit tricky. We start losing our strength, facing some challenges. Our nerves are not as strong as it was previously. Our body is old. Our kids, all settled, are busy with their families. Our friends are old like us. Difficult for them...

I miss Beautiful Roses

-
Image
    It is a bright sunny cold morning. I am having breakfast and enjoying the view of my back garden. It's not looking like a garden anymore. My deck is covered with white sheet of snow. Grass is also under the white blanket.  Flower bed with no flowers, just with a couple of shrubs. The Canadian rose plant has no leaves. Beautiful pink roses are a matter of history. They were gone weeks ago. The glass top of my steel garden table is loaded with a thick slab of ice. The red garden chair, my son got from the Canadian Tire store, is nearly half under the heap of snow. So much has changed in just a couple of weeks. Weather was very cold and windy for a couple of days, 22C below zero, gusts around 50 km. Today is much better, still cold and slushy. Slushy is dangerous to walk, especially at our age. I won't take any chances to slip. My eldest grandson is going for his coffee. I talked to him to drop me at Tim Hortons. It's like a second home for me. The days whe...

It's a cold morning

    It's a cold windy morning, feels like 17 C below zero and the wind gusts 44 km. I will have to take precautions to go for my walk. I will do that later on. It is  9.30, I am  just done with my breakfast. Have to make some calls. I will do that now. Calls are important too. We have to mix and match our daily routine. We have to top up some other things along with our physical activities. To connect with the people around. Calls to friends and family members. To get busy with the things you enjoy. All this will help to boost up your mental peace. Your mood will get elevated. You start feeling up. That is enough to make your days. Life is a gift from God. To handle our life is in our own hands. He gave us liberty to deal with our lives in whatever way we want. Whatever we pick things to do is all our own choice. We can live life happily or make it full of misery, it is all up to us. Everyone has to come across some bitter moments in life. Life is like a...

It's a Beautiful Day

  Today is January the 4th. New Year is no more new anymore, getting older day by day like us. Celebrations already done.  You people must have jotted down a long list of things to do regarding your health.  Strict schedules must be ready, especially for your diets and workouts. You must have chalked out spread sheets to follow day by day, week by week for this year. Just like we use to do every year.  We try to be hard on ourselves in the month of December. Especially the last two weeks are tough for us. We become like a drill master. Like a tough coach for our own selves. We try to straighten up everything regarding our health, our body. our outlook. I mean regarding our figure.  We want to look as perfect as we can for others. I believe that we have to think twice before making the list of our objectives to be achieved. To avoid with going through all that. The objectives, which most of times look good on paper, not able to achieve. Give a thought ...

Goodbye Year 2024

    December 31st, 2024 Today is the last night of the year 2024. So much has changed for us. There must be a bundle of things, all mixed up. We have to come across so many ups and downs in our day to day matters. This is the beauty of life. Life is not stagnant. It is like a river moves on, no matter what.  We have to bid farewell to the year 2024 with good hearts. We must have some difficult moments during that time. We must have come across many wonderful moments during those days. We usually remember whatever we lose. Rarely give a thought about what we have. What we go on getting, we take it like we deserve all that. Never take it as a big deal.  The happy moments, our being in good health. The people around to talk. Nature to enjoy moments to make our days. The bundle of twenty four hours, we get every morning throughout our life. We can spend it wherever we want. Whatever we like to do with that time, we are allotted. Never any question asked in our entire lif...

Miss you Mom

     December 28th 2024 Couple of more days to leave this year behind and to enter a brand new year of 2025. I am sitting in a Coffee house. It's a festive atmosphere. Not many young people are here.  Most of the people are around my age, enjoying the company of their choice. Youngsters are busy with their take out orders. Drive through is very busy. It's 11.30, I am enjoying my small tea and the atmosphere around. Weather is good 2C, it is like summer for us in Canada. It's drizzling. I am going to Tim Hortons to enjoy my walk and my morning tea. I will put my cap on and will dress up properly. No worries. We have to manage circumstances to make our day. Sometimes we have to open up our memory box to dig out our golden moments, we spent, enjoyed and saved, to lock up in our memory box. Same is drizzling for me.  It reminds me of my childhood period. I used to get out in the rain and after a while my mom used to shout at me, “ come inside, you will ...

I am all set to celebrate

  December 24th 2024 It was sort of a snow storm last night, 10 to 15 cm of snow showered from above. Snow is now all around. Walkways are cleared of snow. Thanks to the city, still it's slushy. Snow from the side is melting down as temperature is mild, making the path slushy. It's not easy to walk, especially for us, seniors. It's a beautiful atmosphere. Skeleton trees look decorated. Sprinkled with white powdery flakes. Other trees, the green ones, are loaded with cottony flowers. Every season brings its own beauty. Same is with winter. Snow is beautifying things, making scenic all around. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to get out. Change of spot is always good. It helps to take you to the right track, away from negativity. We don't feel stuck, stagnant, which always channelizes negative thoughts. I have to be careful when walking. These days are a bit tricky to go out. I believe that we are masters of our own lives. We have to make decisions on how to...
