Thought Of The Day

  It's 9.30 in the morning and I am at the Petticoat lake side. The water is sparkling white at the far end.  Shades of deep blue, grayish green in between and a bit muddy near the end. I am enjoying my walk on the trail on the left side of the lake. Wild flowers, violet, white, brick red and golden yellow are scattered in between the greens all around. So many butterflies, yellow, white and the big ones of charcoal black, red and orange are here too. I think these are Monarch butterflies. All enjoying here in between the bushes. A small yellow bird is here somewhere in the trees. A couple of black birds with deep orange color underneath their wings are here enjoying their company on the tall tree in front. I think the tree looks more than ten feet tall. I used to figure that out by comparing myself with others. I am five feet something. The tree looks double my size. I feel small and tiny under here. So many Swans are floating on the deep blue water. It looks so scenic. A cou...

  It has been raining since last night. Flowers look happy. Trees around are looking great after having their morning shower.  My deck is all clean, washed. The two white planters by the right side of the deck are full with flowers. White, blood red, deep purple and golden flowers all are giving color to my garden. Like cherry on top. Beautiful moments to cherish. It is 10 in the morning. I am done with my breakfast. I am now enjoying my time in my back garden to have a feel of the scented breeze. The air is so fresh, loaded with all sorts of aroma from around. The brown small rabbit is busy having his breakfast at my left side. Two birds are walking around having  chit chat too. Two black Squirrels are playing hide and seek on the Maple tree. I feel lucky to be a part of all this to behold and to cherish these beautiful moments. Mornings are the face of our days. We have to celebrate with anything to make our day. Life is short. Time flies. Moments keep on slipping from ...

  The weather is great, breezy. Beautiful morning with 23 C. It is Thursday. I am not at work, at Coffee House now enjoying my time. My walk from my place to here was great. We have a couple of weeks to enjoy our outdoors. There will be a different scenario from September. We Canadians know that our coming days will be tough, a bit harder to get out. We try to manage a couple of our weeks with even 25 C below zero. We learned to handle our Canadian winter. We have a line up of coats in our coat closet to coordinate with the weather outside.. We check the weather channel before starting our day to pick what to wear to bundle up. We manage with gloves and scarfs and the coat we pick accordingly with the cold outside. We humans are amazing creatures. We have the power to adopt whatever is there to make our days. We try to adjust with the people and the ups and downs of the weather all around. Anyway I enjoyed my walk and now enjoying my coffee sitting at my favorite spot in the Coffee...

  It's 10.30 in the morning. I am walking by the Whites Road. The aroma of the freshly cut grass is scattered all around.  Beautiful golden yellow, violet, deep blue and white wild flowers are smiling. I think they are inviting us to join their company. I start thinking about the call of one of my community friends. We call sometimes to connect. To share our talks. She was feeling depressed. Her daughter was with her from Calgary for about a week. She left, back to her family. My friend was missing her company. She was feeling down and lonely. I started thinking how come anyone can be depressed. Feeling down and lonely. There is enough all around to make your day. We can be alone for a while. Never can be depressed with all this. To be alone for some time is a blessing in my dictionary. We need some time alone to get inner peace and harmony. I call it our quality time to value and cherish. Sometimes we are at a big party and still not enjoying our time. It depends on the compa...

  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...

  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...
