Thought Of The Day

  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 ...

    Today is Saturday. another weekend. Another week will be starting. The weather stared changing. It is around the mid of September, getting colder a bit. The mornings are warmer. the evenings are not the same. To sit in gardens to enjoy your time is now running out. Just a couple of weeks to go to be outdoors. The birds will pack things to fly to the South of the Borders. The same will be with the Butterflies. They will all be leaving Canada before it will start snowing. My grandson. the youngest one has to go to his downtown Uni campus for some all day event. My son is driving him to drop him there. Parking in downtown is not easy to find. He has to be there before 10 in the morning for his project. I woke up quickly made my oatmeal porridge and dressed up to go with them. Toronto downtown has been changed so much with so many high rise towers. It started giving the look of the city of Chicago. somewhat. Thinking about Chicago, I start thinking about my late sister. She wa...

It's early morning. I am sitting on one of my garden steel chairs on my deck.  My garden is looking great with lush green grass. The beautiful flowers of all colors. Brick red, shades of pink, golden yellow, purple and white. All sorts of flowers are in full bloom. They are giving color, making my garden brighter with their smiley faces. The flower bed at the back of the garden is loaded with flowers. The same is with the planters. The two white planters by the right side of my deck and the two brick red planters on the left are all full of flowers. The flowers are blooming even in the month of September. Thanks to the rains. The weather is warm. Not too hot. We people are still enjoying our outdoors. The birds are not gone yet to the South of Borders, The squirrels are playing in gardens. Busy with hide and seek on the trees. The atmosphere is loaded with all sorts of aroma from around. It is 10.15, morning, I have now to get ready to go for my walk. I like to go to some place to...

It's a long weekend here in Canada. For me, one more day to go after Monday holiday.  I don't work on Tuesdays. No Darts at the library. I have other plans for these days. We have to plan beforehand so as not to get stuck at that time. I had four days at hand.  I used to walk to the coffee house on the days I am not working. We can not walk all day long. We have to plan our days like a mixed plate.  It has to be a combo. Mixed up with some physical, some time to relax. Some time to get busy with the things we enjoy to uplift our inside. Some like to browse their books / magazines sitting in houses / apartments at the spot they like the most. Some enjoy  sitting with their tea/coffee at home. Some like to spend time with their pets. Some like to make calls to their friends/ family members. Some love to be in their kitchen for a while to make dishes of their choice. Everyone has his own personality. Some love gardening, watering plants/pots. It all depends on making y...
