Working day not for me

Image
  It's Tuesday, the long weekend is done, not for me. No Darts on Tuesdays so I am off today too.  For now I am at the Coffee House enjoying my morning. We have to try to plan to make our days. No matter what. One of my friends arranged a get together at 11.30. I will be there after I finish at Coffee House. To be busy I think is a blessing. It helps to keep us away from stray thoughts. It keeps our mind and body active. What we don't use gets stale.  We start losing that ultimately. Keep that in mind. We are working or retired. It doesn't matter. We have to manage our lives to move forward. Try to get busy doing things of our choice. It helps to get inner peace and harmony. Mental peace is key to managing our mood swings. It helps us to be patient. Patience helps to handle things in our day to day matters. There are so many ups and downs on the way throughout. We come across happy and bitter moments in our lifetime. Keeping ourselves busy sorts so much to handle things. ...

My Friend Butterfly

    It is 9.30 in the morning. I am set for my walk. Not much to get ready.  No heavy jacket, no gloves, no stole. We are enjoying our summer.   Just a light top and my casual pants. Very light matching scarf to give color to my dress. Never leave any chances not to give colors. It is good to add colors to your dress.  Try to add up anything to top up the taste of your food too. Everything matters. Your company. The people around at work and in the household. Among everything, your attitude matters the most. Our attitude is key to looking at things in life. Nothing matters with a negative attitude. The first thing to spread happiness is that we have to give happiness to our own selves. We can't make anyone happy with our gloomy faces. Bitterness is infectious. It is like a disease. The people around could be easily caught with the bitterness of our personality. I am walking by the Whites Road. My friend the White Butterfly is walking beside me. I think she knows...

It is a bit quiet today

  Beautiful morning. Great day. It is a long weekend. Monday is closed too. I don't have to go to work.  No playing Darts on Monday. I have other plans to switch. Kids are home sleeping. They take their time not in a hurry. Start their day not too early. My son is awake. He is an early riser. Everyone else is not awake. It is a bit quiet at my place. The same is the situation in my neighborhood. I like to start my day early. I am  getting ready for my walk to the coffee house to enjoy my time. We have to find things to give color to our life. It boosts our will power. Elevates our mood. Helps to change our attitude. Our perspective to look at life. It matters at every age. It is the key to managing the later stages of our life. Attitude matters how we take our life. We have to find how to give color to our days. Every moment matters. Try to enjoy what you have. Some days are hot and burning. Some days are cold and freezing. Some days our body parts are not in shape to fol...

Enjoying Memories

  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...

I am taking a break

   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...

Rabbit at my door

  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...

No visitors please

  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...
