It was my birthday

Image
  May 4th 2024 I am one year older. One more year gone down to drain. My birthday was on May 2nd, two days back. I take age like  numbers. You don't have to count. Try to do whatever you can till you are mobile. Do things on your own. We never know, what will be the next.  God forbid, anything can happen at any age. Value your time and your health. Especially your health. That is priority. Try to enjoy. Celebrate with whatever is available. Don't have to wait.  Future, we don't know. Past is done. You can not turn the page to rewrite, to do it again. Try to forget whatever is done. Present is everything to be focused on. My family celebrated my birthday, like a big day. My grandson, the middle one, made special steak for me, with Avocado oil, Thyme and Rosemary. It took him two hours in kitchen, to do that for everyone in the family. On special occasions, whole family has to be there, to enjoy together. My son surprised me with a nice cake. My name was shining with birthday

  April 30th 2024 It is Tuesday. I am not working today. No Darts on Tuesdays. I have other plans to get busy to make my day. I have to do two loads of laundry. My clothes, bed sheets and towels are to be done today. I will do that in the morning.  I will start to put clothes in washer before having my breakfast. It will be done side by side. I have small load not big ones. Towels and bed sheets, is a medium load.  It is 10.30, I am done with my breakfast and clothes. Bed sheets and towels are in Dryer. My son is going to lake, I am getting ready to go with him. I have to be quick. Rain is on the way, will start at 11 am. 60 % probability.  It is 10.45, I am at Petticoat Creek. My son has gone for his long walk. I am enjoying by the side of lake, walking around. Water is very quiet, looks great, silver with blue tinge. Looks deep blue at the far end. Not many people here. Just couple of them. One or two are walking with their dogs.  I see couple of birds walking around. Not many. I thi

Spring is time to revive

  It is mainly cloudy rainy day today. Sun is not out, hiding somewhere under his hazy blanket. Afternoon may be slightly better. Let's see. For now my walk is not on horizon. I started my day a bit late. We Humans are not Robot. So many things are there to change the normal routine of our body.  The outside atmosphere, our company, behavior of the people around. Our body has ability to absorb and feels for everything. So many things, we observe, changes our routine. Some, we show from our behavior. Some we hide, deep down. It will be like a scar, will affect our personality afterwards.  The things connected to our loved ones, matter a lot. Their behavior to us, how they talk about us. We take all that very seriously. We are not Robot. We have emotions. When we don't react, we feel and if we react, our relationship is done.  We have to disagree, what bothers, still have to be polite. Avoid to take extreme position. Try to maintain relationships. Never close the door to go back.

Spring is time of revival

  April 23rd 2024 Beautiful weather sunny and bright. It is 11.45, 12 C, perfect for my walk. It is around more than a month that I haven't been to Tim Hortons. I will go there today. Coffee House is like my second home. Library is like my office, my work place. I go there three days a week from 10 to 12, to play Darts. On Thursdays, from 1 pm to 3, I go there to play Carpet Bowling. We have to engage ourselves after we retire. It is a key to stay positive. Doing nothing will take us down, leading to depression and other health issues.  Doing nothing will never result into anything positive. Our brain gets stagnant with all sorts of thoughts. We start thinking negatives, like we are of no use. Nobody wants us. We are just like an extra piece. No one has time for us and cares. We are useless. All such thoughts will result into extreme negativity. Our mind will not be in good shape to lead our body into any direction. We will get mixed signals and will be confused. We start getting i

I am back to business

  It is a mixed sunny cloudy morning 4 C, a bit windy. I was planning to walk to Tim Hortons. I think, I have to skip. Rain is also on the way. We have to adjust to the circumstances. Nothing is a big deal. It is better to switch to plan, 'B', to enjoy our time, to make our day. I was back from my three weeks trip to England, on last Saturday, just a week ago. I am all set, my routine is back to normal. We Humans are amazing creatures, have ability to adjust in all available circumstances.  It is 9.45, I am done with my breakfast, sitting in my room. My computer is switched on. Window blinds are drawn up, I am enjoying view of my front garden. Magnolia tree is looking great, back to life, with pinkish buds all around. Some are smiling, some are with full of laughter. I see some green in all the skeleton trees around. My lawn is lush green. Nature is amazing. Every season is unique with it's own beauty, always provides variety of sceneries, to behold, to cherish. Spring is t

I am back to Toronto

  April 16th 2024 I am back from my three weeks trip to England. England, the land of three of my daughters, my sister and of my grand kids. End of my fairy tale period. I was back to Toronto on Saturday, just couple of days ago. It looks to me that I was never been away.  Home is home, I am all set, back to normal. My suitcase is still to be sorted out. I have taken out half of the stuff. Gifts, I bought for my daughter in law and also my daughters sent couple of things for her, I have taken out all that. Daily routine medicines like Calcium, vitamin D, Centrum and some of my clothes, also gone to cupboards and closets, still I have to take out the rest.  I will rearrange my closets. I don't want to do in hotchpotch manner. I will do it properly. For now, I have to focus on my work. I joined my office on Monday. It was great to be with my colleagues. I played Darts from 9.45 to 11.45. It was fun. It is Tuesday, I am off today. Weather is great, beautiful sunny 11 C. I will walk to

From England back to Toronto

  I am in Reading at my  youngest  daughter's place. Time flies. Today is my last day in England. My flight is tomorrow afternoon.  End of my three weeks trip.  My trip was great, busy with full of enjoyment. I divided my trip into three of my daughter's places. One week each, in Grimsby, Kent and in Reading. On my last day at Kent, we had sort of mega gathering.  All of my daughters with husbands and all of my grandkids came to Kent to see me. We had lunch together. They gave me gifts too. I had great time with them. Moments to cherish, sort of keepsake for my memory box. My daughters, the Grimbsy and Kent ones, came to Reading with me and my son. My daughter, the youngest one was driving them to her home. They stayed for overnight. It was great  all three of my daughters and my son, having time together, talking, sharing their childhood memories. I was happy to see my kids so connected. Next day, we went to Croydon City Centre,  had lunch. My daughter, the middle one, has her
