Thought Of The Day

  The month of December is passing by. Wintry days are getting tougher.  Snow is all around. Walking is now starting to become more challenging. Every day looks like an adventure especially for the people in the later stages of life.  Still it gives a sort of accomplishment after we complete our work to challenge ourselves. It boosts our will power. We feel strong enough to handle things on the journey of  our life. Will power is the key. It changes our attitude. Our perspective of life. We start taking things positively. We have to design our day schedules after retirement. Try to mix and match to balance. Mix with physical, mental and the activities of enjoyment. Walks we take as our physical. We are aware of our energy level. We know that we can not handle tough gym exercises. Walks, we can adjust according to our day to day body condition. Brisk walking days are done for us. We make adjustments of our steps accordingly. Things start coming up at the later stages ...

  Days are passing and so is life. Every day is different with different scenarios. So are nights.  We humans are not robots. We have emotions. Everything around us, the company, the weather affects our mood and our personality. We have an amazing quality of adjustment with whatever is around. We are usually able to handle going through. To make time. Sometimes it becomes tough. Not easy.  We start feeling low. Our mind is not in a position to give direction to our body to take the right track.The track of positivity. We get out of the right track and start thinking of negatives. Start losing our patience level. Feeling tired and out of focus. The focus of making our day. Our energy level to deal with the things around us is also not the same as at normal time. We have a totally different personality. Keep in mind feeling low and with a gloomy face. Nobody will like our company. We become lonely. We don't even like our own company. Negativity will overcome our relationshi...

    It's Friday, one week nearly done for the month of December. The year 2025 will be done anytime soon.  Just a couple of weeks to go. It will be history like so many others. I read years ago in my high school period of time. Nearly three quarters of a century has passed. I still have at the back of mind that piece of literature. It was narrated about the river. “ Men may come and men may go but I go for ever “ . Yes it is a reality. Men come and go to be a part of history. So is time. Time flies. Nothing stays forever, I think that is the beauty of life. Change gives us surprises. We keep on looking at the change throughout our lives. Change of scenery. Change of place. We keep adding up new relationships in life in our schools and our work place. Our kids come after we start our family life.  We change houses from our parents to get one of our own. To start a family. We humans keep on looking for new ventures. New opportunities to bring change in our life. Change...

    It is December. Snow is all around. What we expect in Canada my dear.  Last night it was snowing on top of the previous one. It will keep on piling. January and February will be tough. We have to go through all that keeping up with our day to day routine matters.  Life doesn't stop. We humans know how to tackle things. We are able to make adjustments. Ready to mingle in all circumstances. My sleep was not good. Every day is unique. Different from the other one. So are nights. We are surprised that we don't know what we are getting. Especially at the later stages of our life. Things start changing. With our limited energies sometimes it is not easy to handle our life matters. Patience is the key. Try to focus on the existing moment. You will be able to handle things. It will be an entirely different perspective of life. Not so hard to tackle. Not so gloomy to be sad. I started my day late. I didn't push my body to get out of the bed until it was ready to move. Tha...

    December has already started. New Year is about to start soon. Time is flying, days are passing. Days are getting shorter day by day. Night looks starting at four in the evening. Snow started last night after taking a two day break. Not much, still more than enough to take an initiative to go for a walk.  I have joggers for my walks. I trust my shoes still need to convince myself to feel comfortable to get out in this weather. I think at our age we have to think twice to gather our energy. To have confidence for things to handle. To go for a walk in this weather needs lots of courage. To take a stand. It needs lots of commitment too.  The body needs help from the mind most of the time. The mind has to push our body to give a go ahead. Takes stand and leads our body to start its journey. I decided to listen to my mind. I got ready for my walk. There were some icy patches to walk through on the walkway. Still I made it. I think when there is a will there is always ...

    It's a bright snowy morning. Snow is all around. Trees are loaded with white cottony flowers.  The driveway looks coated with white paint. Cars are covered under white sheet of snow. Every season is unique and has its own beauty. So is the winter. So peaceful. So quiet. It is good to be home for a while. Taking a break from your busy routine. Birds are gone to the South. My garden looks quiet too. No flowers. No pink Canadian roses. Not any of the red, yellow and white seasonal flowers. The blood red David Austin roses have also taken some time off. The grass is still lush green thanks to the rain last week. White snow scattered on the green looks so beautiful. Amazing. Nature is great. The scenery changes so quickly. We are lucky to have a taste of everything. Autumn was beautiful too with the change of colors. Leaves of Gold, Blood red, Copper and  Bronze were scattered all around. Now this white everywhere. It looks very peaceful. You can feel the calm deep do...
