Thought Of The Day

  Things have changed. Days are longer, brighter with sunshine. Winter time is gone till next year. No more rains.  April showers May flowers. This is the month of flowers. Flowers of all colors. I see life in my flower bed at the back of my garden. It is no more deserted. The birds, my friend the Black Squirrel and the small brown rabbit all came back to enjoy their time in my garden. I have company in my backyard. My son and his wife are busy organizing things in the garden. They got beautiful blood red, lilac, white and bright yellow seasonal flowers from the nursery. They are planting the flowers in the two white and one brown brick color planters. We will put these planters by the side of the deck in our backyard. We know that spring will be short. We have just a couple of months to enjoy our backyard and gardens. Things will start changing in mid of August. September will be done to enjoy the outdoors. I think it is the beauty of Canada that we have all four seasons. We ...

  Some days just look great. No rain, no snow. The sun is in full bloom. What else do we need to make our day? Everything looks perfect. Beautiful flowers on the Magnolia tree are about to bloom. It is already loaded with buds around. It's just a matter of time things will change too soon. I think it is time. The trees already started their journey back to life. I also see life in the flower bed at the back of my garden. A couple of birds are enjoying their morning walk on the lush green grass in my backyard. My friend the Black Squirrel is busy with his exercises on the wooden fence of my garden. A small brown rabbit is sitting quietly at the left corner by the side of the flower bed. Such a peaceful atmosphere, calm, quiet, still full of life. We can have a feel that everything is at its right place. At this time of life things in the world and all around looked so messed up. Things don't look good in the world. Peace is rare nowadays. These are the kind of moments to cherish...

  Beautiful day bright morning. The sun is shining. Birds are around.  My friend the Black Squirrel is back for his exercises. I can see a small brown rabbit in my back garden. The grass is lush green. The Magnolia tree is loaded with beautiful light pinkish yellow flowers with a pinkish hue inside.  The red wooden bench is shining on the left side of my front garden. The atmosphere is loaded with the fragrances from all around. The scent of the freshly cut grass. The aroma of the flowers. All are mingled to top up the breeze. It is a beautiful scenic atmosphere to cherish your  moments. Nature is amazing. It keeps on surprising us throughout the year long. Every season is unique with its own beauty. It keeps on changing like the scenes from a movie. The scenes keep on changing and displaying different videos with an automatic slide projector. There is so much to watch to observe. We have to go for a walk to absorb the real feel of everything around us. To enjoy our ...

  Hazy morning. The sun is not awake, hiding under his grey blanket.  I think he is still drowsing, maybe he was partying with friends till late at night. It is a cloudy day and the rain is on the way. No one home. I am sitting on an empty nest. Everyone left for work. My youngest grandson is done with his uni exams. He is with his friends on a four day trip to Montreal and Quebec. Friends are like a treasure. They are like blessings when you find them at the same wavelength. Traveling with them is a big step. Not easy with the right company.. I think he is lucky to find colleagues of his choice. It is a tough time. I believe that people are a bit lonely. It is the time of Facebook and social media. No one has time to share thoughts with anyone. Especially for youngsters it is a difficult era. They have to face too much pressure at school time. Pressure from the family to compete. The family structure is also not the same as before. The marriages are now not forever. Things ch...

  Today is my Birthday. Another year, another day, another morning to start my day.  We have to feel blessed. Take our mornings as a gift from God Almighty. He trusted us to give us one more chance to make our day. Mornings are like the face of our days. We have to value and welcome our mornings. It decides in which direction our days will go. How we take our mornings will be the turning point in managing our days. It doesn't matter how our nights go. We have to welcome mornings with a smiley face. Sometimes our days are not good. We are going through with our day to day problems. Our mind gets cluttered with issues. The issues related to our workplace. The issues to tackle our family and household. We start losing our good sleep. Our nights are not the same. Our body is not ready to listen to our day plans. Especially at the later stages of life. Things start coming up. Our nights come with a different scenario. It's like Christmas. We don't know beforehand what we will be...

    Beautiful morning bright and sunny. Birds are all around. I think they all are back from the South of the Border.  Their chats are like musicals to add up the beauty of the atmosphere. It is like a symphony to cherish your moments. Sometimes it is more than enough to have a seat. Just to have a walk to enjoy the moments in solitude. We don't need any company. Not to distract ourselves. I just got the news that my friend is suffering from dementia. We shared so many moments of our lives together. I don't drive and neither was she. We used to chalk out our plans once a while. To enjoy our time in the Scarborough Town Center. We were not living in the same area. She used to live in the Military Trail. I live in Pickering. We used to take buses from our places to be there at our meeting point. I still have the beautiful memories of spending time with her together.  Having lunch  / tea / coffee and going back after, taking the buses to our places. I used to take ...
