Thought Of The Day

  I am walking by the Whites Road. I see some red and orange colors in between the greens.  Birds kids playing around the bushes. Squirrels are up and down on trees. It's Saturday, still lots of traffic on the road. The weather is perfect. I don't have to wear any jackets, not even my light one. It is 19 C, a bit breezy. I already crossed the Whites Road passing by the Burger King. The beautiful pink roses are spreading colors. The atmosphere is loaded with the fragrance of flowers. It looks so pleasant, so peaceful. It is 10.30. I am walking, going to the Second Cup to have my coffee. I can have my coffee / tea at home. We have some excuse to go for walks. That makes a big difference. That changes the entire perspective to look at things. I don't take my walk like homework. It gives me pleasure. My walk becomes purposeful. I start thinking that my coffee is waiting for me at the end of my walk. I feel relaxed to enjoy everything all around. There is so much to watch. To se...

    It is a beautiful morning. Mornings I believe are the face of our days. We have to welcome and take it like blessings. God allocated us another twenty four hours to do whatever we like with that. We have to start our morning with a smiley face. Sometimes the weather is not that good. Too hot or too cold. Rainy days or snowing and we feel stuck at home. No matter what. Try to celebrate your morning. I believe getting up every morning is the signal from God. Signal of trust to give us another chance to make up for our wrong doings. To balance out our work sheet. We don't have to take it with a gloomy face and heavy hearts. We have to accept it with gratitude. Be grateful for the gift from the Almighty. It's a bit cold today. Just a couple of days left and September will say goodbye till next year. The weather is changing. Our Canadian wintry days are just around the corner. We won't be sitting for months in our households. We learned our lessons to cope up with that. We h...

    It's early morning 7.30, I am in my kitchen making oatmeal porridge for my breakfast.  I have to leave early for my dental appointment. It is twenty minutes away from me to walk. I know my steps will take time so I have to keep that in mind. It is 9.15, my grandson, the eldest one, is leaving for his work. He offered to drop me over there for my appointment. So nice of him. I preferred to walk. It is 6 C, cold and windy. I am dressed up in layers. My fawn colored half sleeve sweater underneath my light grey and black jacket. This jacket is my favorite. It is not hooded, it's OK. I got my stole. I will be fine. I think going on our own makes a big difference in our life. It boosts our will power and elevates our confidence too. We start feeling independent, capable of carrying out our matters on our own. We need support for some time to handle our things. Not all the time is a good option. The people around in the household won't like for us to become an extra piece fo...

  I am at the Lakeside. The weather is now getting a bit colder. It's 15 C, I am wearing my light jacket.  The navy blue one with sky blue combination. I am missing my gloves, next time I will keep that in mind. The water at my right is not calm. The surface of the water is twinkling. The waves playing some sort of symphony. Light musical, not loud, like a soft rhythm. So cool. On my left side the water at the lake is very calm, serene, and peaceful. Two small brown ducks are enjoying their ride on the surface. Two Swans are also here enjoying their company at the water surface far away. One side by the path the wild bushes making the view beautiful. So many colors of golden yellow, purple and white flowers look scattered on the bushes. Amazing. It is 11.15, in the morning. I am lucky to be here to be a part of this scenic atmosphere. To behold and to cherish these moments. I already made my day. This jacket is perfect for today's weather. I bought it years ago from Oxfam at G...

  It is a beautiful morning. The weather is great, breezy, cool. I have my dentist appointment at 10.30.  It is about a twenty minute walk from my place. I am finishing my breakfast. I  will skip my tea and get ready to walk over there. I will walk and take it like a blessing. Able to manage our things has to be taken as blessings. That changes the entire scenario. We won't feel pressure. It won't be like homework and also will change our attitude to look at things with a different perspective. Perspective is key to how we take our life matters. Perspective relates to our attitude. Our attitude keeps on changing. It is dependent on our thoughts. Our thoughts are dependent on the well-being of our body. The mind and body are like two in one. We have to take care of our body to keep our mind in good shape. Sometimes our physical condition is not in a position to go for long walks and do other activities. We have to plan other ways to keep our body in good shape. Go with sma...

  Beautiful morning, the weather is great. I am walking by the lakeside. It is 9.30, my son has to go to a  barbecue event with his friends at 10.30.  He wakes up early and so am I. He had some time in hand before to enjoy his walks. I am at Frenchman Bay walking by the lake. My son has gone for his long walk. So many birds on the trees and on the bushes around.  Flowers of all colors are giving color to the scenic atmosphere. I also see so many butterflies, yellow, white and the big ones. I think these are Monarchs if I am correct. The weather is great so many people started coming. The water at the lake surface is glittering. Eye catching moments to cherish. Some are walking with dogs. Some are setting things for picnics. Some with kayaks. Some are setting things for fishing with their friends. It looks like a family atmosphere here. It is 10.30, we have to leave. I am going home too. I will go to the coffee house after a while. after 11.15 or so. Going for coffee ...
