Book time for yourseelf

  It is 10.15 in the morning, I am at the canopy area of the lakeside. The weather is great. Don't need any jacket neither heavy nor even a light one. I am enjoying my walk by the water. The water is sparkling white. The waves are playing a musical symphony. Soft and melodious. It is like meditation, therapy, so peaceful. The sky above is not peaceful. So many shades of grey are scattered on the canvas above. I think we are about to get rain anytime soon. The lakeside is not so crowded. Just a couple of people are walking with their dogs. A small group is busy running on the walkway now turning towards the trail. I was walking by the water front now standing on a beautiful spot under the greens.Very peaceful atmosphere with just the music of waves. Moments to behold also to cherish. My daughter from Grimsby, England left in the morning for her trip to  Minneapolis, America to her sister in-law. She is already on her way in the plane. I am enjoying my time. I will go from the l...

Why be an extra piece

-
Image
  Great morning. Beautiful day. Clear sky. Blue and clean. The weather is great to enjoy your outdoors.  I am at Second Cup coffee house enjoying my coffee and my time. It is Wednesday, a working day for me too. I didn't go to the library to play Darts. I skipped. Day off.  I enjoyed my morning with my daughter. She is here for a couple of days from Grimsby, England. I didn't want to miss these moments to cherish. Family is family I believe. No matter what. Family always has to be taken as a priority. She now is enjoying the company of one of her Uni friends.   Her friend insisted that I join their company. I have known her well for a long time. I skipped. We have to avoid any situation to be an extra piece at any time, anywhere. They are friends. I won't fit there. We have to keep in mind not to take advantage of anyone's politeness. Sometimes people are too courteous, insisting us to come along to join to be a part of their group. We have to realize and decide on o...

My coffee is hot

-
Image
  It's 11.30 in the morning. I am sitting in the coffee house enjoying my coffee and my time.  The weather is breezy and not too hot. I enjoyed walking here. The coffee house from my place is about a 20 minute walk. It is not a long walk. My right foot is still not in good shape. I am not out of Blisters. My doctor advised me to take it easy for a while to avoid walks. I think staying home is not a good idea. To spend all day in front of the computer and busy with my phone. I don't like to go with that. This leads us to feeling low. Lethargic, dull. Ultimately we will ruin our day. There nothing is a total plus. We get some negatives attached with our positives. It is like a combo. We have to pick what we want. I go with Blisters. I think it is a better deal. Anyway we have to take whatever comes on the road in the road trip of our life. Life is not a bed of roses. We have to be realistic. Face reality, manage and move on. Everyone has his own personality. Choose what goes wit...

Take a break slow down

-
Image
  Beautiful morning. Great scenic atmosphere. Pink Canadian roses are smiling. The grass is lush green.  A couple of birds are having a party in my backyard. Two squirrels are playing hide and seek under the Maple tree. The small brown rabbit is sitting quietly on the left side. I think he is enjoying his own company and is here to behold the scenery too. It is early morning 8.30, I am sitting on one of the red knitted steel garden chairs. I am having my breakfast on the deck, like to be a part of all these beautiful moments to cherish. The sky is like a clean slate. An untouched canvas with a couple of grayish abstract sketches. The entire atmosphere is so peaceful, we can sit quietly here to meditate. The atmosphere is loaded with the fragrance of flowers. My flower bed at the back is looking beautiful with golden yellow, blood red, white and purple seasonal flowers. The red garden chair my son got from the Canadian Tire store years ago is at the corner to lie down to relax....

Anotheer new morning

-
Image
  Every morning is different and unique, so is every day. The weather is a bit different, not the same.  The atmosphere around with a different scenario. We are not the same. We take mornings and days with different attitudes.  It all depends how we feel inside on that day. Sometimes things are not so good. The weather is too hot or sometimes too cold and we still feel good. We take everything with a positive attitude. Ready to go ahead to enjoy our time. Some days the weather looks perfect. The flowers are smiling, the birds are chatting. Nothing wrong with our sleep. Our body parts are also in good shape ready to cooperate with our plans. We are not ready. Something is missing. We are not in a position to enjoy our time.Something is missing from our inside. The peace inside I think. I believe there are so many factors that matter in our life. Not only the world outside decides how we take our mornings, our days. Sometimes we miss our loved ones not with us. They are gon...

My doctor's report card

-
Image
  The weather is great. Not too hot. Not too humid. Beautiful morning. Cool breeze with 24 C.  It's 10.30 in the morning. I am just out of the dentist office. Dentist appointments at my age are a bit scary. Not only Dentist, any Dr appointment is not at my welcome note. We won't be getting A grade in our report card from any of the doctors. We know that our body is old and needs repairs and replacement of some of our body parts. We know any doctor won't be able to give us a clean slate. Not even the passing marks. Anyway this is life. We have to accept whatever there is with patience. We have to realize that we enjoyed our life with this body of ours, much stronger than today. Nothing is forever. Life keeps on changing and so does our body. We undergo a systematic change throughout our life. Change from our childhood to kids to teens to adults and finally to the later stages of life. We managed and accepted every stage of life with open hearts so what's wrong now. I bel...

Recipe is a side show

-
Image
  It's a hazy morning. Rain on the way in the afternoon. I am on my way to the coffee house.  I have taken my red umbrella just in case. We have to be ready for anything. It is better to be prepared to face anything. Not to ruin our trip. It is 9.30, I am crossing the intersection of the Whites Road and Kingston road. Kingston is a sort of highway. Very busy. Today is a big day for me. One of my daughters is coming with her husband for a short trip to Toronto. I have to make some vegetarian dishes for them. Her husband likes stir fried vegetables. I got zucchini and eggplant. I will make it with onions and tomatoes. I think it will be tasty. Let's see. I believe our love makes any dish tasty. Recipes are just a side show. The same recipe will not give the same result. The person who is cooking makes all the difference. I think it matters who will be going to have our cooking. Relationships are key for everything in our life. Feeling low and lonely is not going to make any dish...
