Thought Of The Day

  Another hot morning. Humid, the sun is shining in full bloom. The  month of July is nearly done.  Just one more day to go. It is 9.15 in the morning. I have to do my laundry. I will put my comforter in the washer. It is bulky so it will take longer to wash.  I don't do that so often. Just a couple of times in a year. Too much work to handle. I will do that now after that I will have my breakfast. By the time I will be done with my laundry. I will start getting ready for my walk. We have to organize things to streamline our time table for the day. After our retirement, we have to manage things on our own. We still have twenty four hours to handle. It is a hot day so I have to pick something light to wear from my wardrobe. I picked my flowery georgette top. Very light and not a see through one. It reminded me of my friend. I bought it from the Bay departmental store with her. Decades ago we used to go to the Scarborough Town Center to enjoy our time together. She use...

   It's a cloudy morning. It has been raining all night. I have my dentist appointment today.  Dentist appointments at our age are not welcomed. We don't know how many teeth will be left after we leave the clinic. This is life my dear. Whatever is there we have to accept with patience and grace. We don't have to forget that we enjoyed our life for all those years. It is time now to slow down. To take a break from enjoying some of the things. Not a big deal to manage with whatever is left. We still have enough to enjoy. Life is not the same. It goes on changing. We have to accept the change and manage accordingly. We were running throughout all the stages of our life. We need a break now. It is time to take a pause. To smell the roses. To absorb the beauty around. To smell and have a feel of the fragrance of nature scattered around. We never had time for all that. We were always in a hurry. Very busy with our work and our family matters. We have time now. Time to enjoy eve...

  It is a great morning.Beautiful day sunny and bright. Not gloomy. You feel good on these days.  The sun is there up and above shining in full bloom to make our days brighter. To elevate our mood. We feel energetic, ready to make plans to fill up our day schedules. I put my indoor chores aside. Try to get out to enjoy the outdoors. To be with nature to behold and absorb the beauty of the outside. It is 9.40, I am all set to leave. It is 25 C, feeling like 30. I am out of the house and what surprised me. The small brown rabbit was sitting in my front garden. Sitting so peacefully. So content. I think everyone likes to enjoy this sort of weather. My friend, the brown rabbit, came out of his house to be outdoors, to enjoy. He is also enjoying his morning feast in my front garden. My right foot has not been in good shape for a couple of weeks. I am skipping my walk today. My eldest grandson is going to the gym. He is dropping me at the Coffee House. So nice of him. We have to tak...

  It is a beautiful bright morning. Hot and sunny. The weather is like a roller coaster nowadays.  Yesterday it was on a cooler side. Today it is a different scenario. Hot feeling like 28 C. It is a matter of a couple of weeks. It will change by the middle of August. I have a busy day today.  My friends invited me for a get together. I have to go for that around 1.30. I decided to go for my walk before that. It is 10.15, I  am sitting in the Coffee House, enjoying my coffee and my time alone. I try to avail my time alone whenever I can. For me, a time alone slot is the key to get inner peace. To manage our patience, our blood pressure and mood swings. We have to include what we like to do while making our day schedules. Everyone is different with his own personality. It is a must to have a time slot for the hobbies we like to get busy with. That will be our own time to enjoy ourselves. The time we spend here in this world must not have to be taken like homework. We h...

    It's a new world. So different. So much has changed after COVID. So much has changed in decades.  Letters and postcards are the stories of the past. So are the telegrams. It is an era of Whats App. We don't need telegrams and long distance phone calls to break any news. Whats App is at your service running twenty four hours a day. We have to switch our phones off to get a break and to have some sleep. I put my phone on sleep mode at night. I check my phone first thing in the morning. We all are addicted to our phones. Why to blame our kids and teens. I got the news that my aunt passed away back home. I haven't seen her in decades.  She had severe dementia. She was close to me and my family. I have beautiful memories of the moments we spent together. Our brain acts like a power plant. It keeps itself connected to our mind and body. It starts rolling the clips from our cycle of life at the time we need any. He is always so sure that you like to share all that at th...

  It's a rainy day, hazy morning. The sun is taking a break, I think, everyone needs a break.  Nothing wrong with that. Not his fault. The sky is all overcast, covered under a grayish sheet. It was raining early in the morning. The rain droplets look like pearls in my garden on the grass. The colors of all the seasonal flowers look a bit brighter. The trees around look happy. I believe that rain makes a big difference in everyone's life. Water plays a key role in our life. It cools us down. It helps to change our mood, tilting towards a positive side. It helps us to be patient. We like to take a break to relax before reacting. I think we have to take a glass of water to cool us down at the time we feel pressure. That manages our blood pressure also helps not to react right away. We come across various cross sections of people on the way of our life. The people with nature are not coordinating with us. Sometimes it is not easy to get along. We feel pressure to deal with the sit...
