I am at the coffee house

The weather is great. Morning is beautiful, a bit cold and a bit breezy. I am  enjoying my morning walk, passing through the Whites Road. A CN train is passing through the underpass. This train connects all the provinces of Canada. It is 11.15 still the road is busy with so much traffic. It is Thursday so I am off today. No Darts today. I have some other plans after my morning walk and enjoying my coffee at the Second Cup coffee house. The trees around are still green. They still have time for their bodies to become like skeletons.Leaves are changing colors. Some of the trees have completely changed their color. They look like gold, deep orange and brick red. These trees in between the greens look so beautiful. Amazing scenery. It is 14 C with 48 km gusts. I am wearing my medium heavy jacket. The one with steel black and gray combination. This is a very old one, still my favorite. Perfect for this weather. It is 11.45, I am at the Coffee House. Ready to enjoy my time and my coffee...

It is a cold morning

  October is the month of surprises. The weather is tricky. You don't know what to wear.  It is cold, not cold enough. Tough choice to select a jacket from our coat closet. Not yet the time to be bundled up. We still have to top up one layer while getting out. The sun is shining, not enough to warm us up. We have to pick a light jacket, not a heavy one. The weather will be warmer after a while, keep that in mind. Our walks have to be enjoyable. Not like homework. Our dressing is the key. It has to be cozy, comfortable. The same is with our shoes. Check the weather before heading out. It helps to sort out things. Anyway I selected my jacket, navy blue with sky blue pattern. I got it years ago from Oxfam in Grimsby while visiting my daughters in England. This is a perfect choice for this weather. It's 10.30, I am ready for my walk to the coffee house. I am now passing by the Burger King. The pink roses look a bit shy with a faded smile. The blood red, orange, yellow look beautif...

This is October

Image
  This is October, the month of colors. All shades of yellow, scarlet and red are in between greens.  What a scenic view to behold. The month to cherish your moments. October is the month to walk on trails. To look through the beauty of nature. The squirrels are busy collecting their food to stock for the tough snowy days ahead. The birds are packing their stuff getting ready to cross the borders. We are enjoying our days outdoors. A couple of weeks to go for us to be bundled up. October is a unique month with all the pieces of sculpture scattered around. This is the month to enjoy your walks through the sceneries. The scenery is like a slide show. The scenes change every moment. Our eyes are busy trying to cope up, to capture the beauty changing moment by moment. It is 10.20, I am ready with my light blue and gray jacket to walk to the coffee house. There is a golden yellow bush by the side of Burger King. The pink roses are still there on the green bushes on the right side o...

It is drizzling

  It is a cool, hazy morning, drizzling off and on. The sun is hiding under his steel gray blanket.  He may not be feeling well. He is always there for us. l pray for him to get well soon. I am going to the coffee house from my doctor’s office. It is about twenty five minutes walk. The weather is great. I will enjoy my walk. I won't take big steps. The key is that whatever we are going to do has to be enjoyable. To enjoy things we have to take pressure away. To be calm and peaceful. We are not running any marathon. Try to budget some extra time. That makes all the difference to be out of pressure. This extra time allows us to take breaks. To feel the breeze loaded with the aroma from the beautiful flowers around. We will have time to observe the beauty of nature. This extra time to our set schedule is the key to impart peace and harmony in our personality. Our mind is relaxed. Our body is calm. Enough time to perform, to go with the plans for the day. The doctor's office is ab...

Life moves on

  It's the 29th of September. Two more months to go and the year 2026 will be a history like so many other years.  No one will be interested in talking about it. People will start making plans to welcome the new year to come.   Years ago 29th September 1976 was the day my husband died of a heart attack. It changed so much for me and my kids. Anyway I started working and my kids started growing up. Time flies, life goes on. Years keep on changing with its changed numbers. Kids are now settled busy with their own work and family. All five of them are scattered in various cities of Europe and Canada. My life also moved forward like everyone else. My work days are done. I am enjoying the golden days of my life. I think it is good to go with the flow. No use wasting our moments to get stuck to the past. We can not turn the pages. Life is a gift from God. We are here for a given time, waiting for our calls from Upstairs. Try to avail this opportunity to spread happiness. To put...

My walks, my coffee

Image
  I am walking by the Whites Road. I see some red and orange colors in between the greens.  Birds kids playing around the bushes. Squirrels are up and down on trees. It's Saturday, still lots of traffic on the road. The weather is perfect. I don't have to wear any jackets, not even my light one. It is 19 C, a bit breezy. I already crossed the Whites Road passing by the Burger King. The beautiful pink roses are spreading colors. The atmosphere is loaded with the fragrance of flowers. It looks so pleasant, so peaceful. It is 10.30. I am walking, going to the Second Cup to have my coffee. I can have my coffee / tea at home. We have some excuse to go for walks. That makes a big difference. That changes the entire perspective to look at things. I don't take my walk like homework. It gives me pleasure. My walk becomes purposeful. I start thinking that my coffee is waiting for me at the end of my walk. I feel relaxed to enjoy everything all around. There is so much to watch. To se...

Beautiful Morning

Image
    It is a beautiful morning. Mornings I believe are the face of our days. We have to welcome and take it like blessings. God allocated us another twenty four hours to do whatever we like with that. We have to start our morning with a smiley face. Sometimes the weather is not that good. Too hot or too cold. Rainy days or snowing and we feel stuck at home. No matter what. Try to celebrate your morning. I believe getting up every morning is the signal from God. Signal of trust to give us another chance to make up for our wrong doings. To balance out our work sheet. We don't have to take it with a gloomy face and heavy hearts. We have to accept it with gratitude. Be grateful for the gift from the Almighty. It's a bit cold today. Just a couple of days left and September will say goodbye till next year. The weather is changing. Our Canadian wintry days are just around the corner. We won't be sitting for months in our households. We learned our lessons to cope up with that. We h...
