Don't drop the line

Another hot morning, another hot day. The summer is here in full bloom.  We know it will be short just for a couple of more weeks to go. We take it. We know that the summer is going to be tough. Every season here in Canada is intense and in full bloom. The same is winter. We face 30 C below zero in our couple of freezing days. It is 11.30, not so bad 24C feels like 30. My Uni friend just called. She lives in Markham 20 minutes away from my place in Pickering. I don't drive and neither does she. We used to make calls to keep our connections alive. Friends of about your age are like novelty, like gems. We can relate what we share. We can talk about the shows we like to watch. It looks like we are at the same wave length. We can talk about the time of our era. The era we used to live decades ago. It looks good that the person can relate to all that. What we are talking about, the person at the other end understands. It gives a unique satisfaction, inner peace. It is a sort of meditat...

It's hot and humid

  The weather is slightly better, still hot and humid. It's 8.30 in the morning and 24 C feels like 30 C.  I will quickly make my breakfast and after that get ready to go for my walk. It is 9.30, I am walking by the Whites Road. It is not busy. Not much traffic here. I think it is Sunday people will be enjoying their time at home. People like to start their day not so early on weekends. Some of them, especially teenagers, might still be in bed. They enjoy their weekends staying late at night. They take their lives differently making full use of their time in hand. I take them like my role models. Smiley faces, bright eyes. It looks like life is all good for them. They don't take the ups and downs of the days ahead seriously. I think they trust their confidence to handle whatever will be coming on the way. I salute their confidence and attitude towards life. I am enjoying my walk. It is hot and humid, but I am ok with that. I already selected my tops out of my wardrobe for the ...

It's raining it's pouring

  It has been raining since late last night. My deck is all clean and washed. Rain drops are glistening on grass.  Trees look happy after having a morning shower. The pink Canadian roses are smiling. We are happy having a break after a hot weather with 41 C for a couple of days. It is early morning 8.30, and the rain is intense. I check the speed of the rain fall on the glass top of my steel garden table. It helps me to chalk out my outdoor plans on rainy days. I am having my breakfast. One teaspoon of honey with a pinch of salt in warm water. Oatmeal porridge in hot milk after that. I skip my morning tea / coffee at home. I have it with my senior club friends at the library on my work days. On the other days I walk to the Coffee House to enjoy my coffee over there. We have to plan our days to enjoy in whatever way we can. It is god to give color to our life. Our attitude is key. It changes the perspective of life and how we take it. Life is the same with bitter, sour and swee...

It is time to hit roads, waters and trails. We People have just a couple of weeks to enjoy our summer in Canada. We try every chance to make use of it.

We will handle whatever will be there in the coming days. We humans are able to make adjustments accordingly. It is 8.30 in the morning. I am out of my bed.

Beautiful Moments

Image
  It is a hot morning with 41 C, it will be 43 degrees later on. Every season is intense here in Canada.  All four seasons come in full bloom with full intensity. We can have a feel of every season and enjoy the flavors of each. It was just a couple of weeks ago I had to use a jacket and gloves for my walk. It is totally a different scenario now. Tough to select what to wear in this temperature. One of my grade five school friends just called. She used to live in London downtown, Regent street. I have great memories of staying at her place for a couple of nights. We used to go for our day out plans.   Museums, gardens, restaurants, Que Gardens, together we visited in our good old days. Things change. She moved to her daughter in the Netherlands, visiting her brother here in Canada. She is leaving tomorrow, so she called me. I don't know if it is a good bye or if we meet again somewhere, some other time. We never know. It is a small world, a global village. Let's see. Her ...

So much green around

  Beautiful morning, great weather. It is 11.30, 20 C, perfect to go for a walk. Not too cold, not too hot.  Flowers of all colors are in full bloom. The grass is lush green. There is so much green all around. It's time to cherish your moments.Time to enjoy the outdoors. Summer season is not long here in Canada. We value each and every moment we can avail in these couple of months, June is nearly done, we have only July, and from mid August things will start changing. It reminds me of England. My daughters from there are talking about the weather over there. It is too hot. It's not easy to be without fans. We feel lucky to enjoy this cozy weather in the month of June. My garden is back to life. The pink Canadian roses plant is loaded with flowers all around. The seasonal flowers of all colors, golden yellow, purple, white and blood red are adding colors to my garden. Looks like the flowers are smiling, enjoying too. Squirrels are playing around the trees. The two tall trees in...

Enjoying time alone

-
Image
   It is a beautiful morning after a couple of hot days. It is cloudy, still not gloomy. Hazy with overcast not dark at all.  We don't have to turn on the lights. We are enjoying the drizzle, the view. Scenic to behold. The red, gold, purple, white flowers all look happy taking their morning shower. The pink Canadian roses are enjoying the most. They are dancing, shaking their bodies with a big smile. It is Sunday, 11.30 am. I already planned my day. I will walk to the coffee house with my tablet to write my blogs. I will take calls too over there. I usually stay there for a couple of hours. It is good to be with your own company for a while. It works like a meditation. We need some time alone for our own selves. No interruption. No outsider has to be there. Sometimes we need to talk alone with ourselves. Listen to our inner thoughts. It helps to get peace inside deep down. We don't have time for that so often. There has to be a time slot planned in our day schedule. Not ...
