Thought Of The Day

Bright day, sunny morning. So beautiful. I am walking by the Whites Road.  Nice breezy weather. It is 24 C, not too hot. It's 9.30, early morning. I started my day a bit early today. We are humans not robots. We take every day differently with a different attitude.  So many things matter. That all affects our mood to make or to ruin our days. That affects how we sleep at night. Sleep at night depends on how we have taken our day before. The day we spent with the people. The company we were with. Everything related, interconnected in making our day. The days we spend mainly are the deciding factor on how we take our nights. There are also so many other things which act like spoilers. To ruin our days and our nights. I think attitude is the key. That matters the most. Attitude changes the perspective to see through. Take things at life differently. Life is the same for everyone. It is the same, just like a combo. A mixed plate with sweet and bitter moments coming all the way wh...

  Some mornings come with surprises. We never know which of our body parts will not be in good shape.  Not going to cooperate with our day plans. There is always a give and take to maintain all relationships. The same is with our body. We have to listen to our body. Give time to take a break to revive itself. I take some time to get out of my bed. I try to give some time to my body to get ready.  It works for me. It gives my body time to listen to me. It helps her to be on the same wavelength to cooperate with my schedules to make my day. We have to push our body to be active not to become a couch potato. Don't try to push hard. Don't try to implement your plans and ideas to anyone with force. Don't have to dictate. No one likes dictation. We have to talk to resolve matters. We have to keep in mind that our talks do not have to be one- sided. We have to take time to listen to the other person. We don't just have to hear. Listening is not hearing. Listening needs patienc...

Another hot morning, another hot day. The summer is here in full bloom.  We know it will be short just for a couple of more weeks to go. We take it. We know that the summer is going to be tough. Every season here in Canada is intense and in full bloom. The same is winter. We face 30 C below zero in our couple of freezing days. It is 11.30, not so bad 24C feels like 30. My Uni friend just called. She lives in Markham 20 minutes away from my place in Pickering. I don't drive and neither does she. We used to make calls to keep our connections alive. Friends of about your age are like novelty, like gems. We can relate what we share. We can talk about the shows we like to watch. It looks like we are at the same wave length. We can talk about the time of our era. The era we used to live decades ago. It looks good that the person can relate to all that. What we are talking about, the person at the other end understands. It gives a unique satisfaction, inner peace. It is a sort of meditat...

  The weather is slightly better, still hot and humid. It's 8.30 in the morning and 24 C feels like 30 C.  I will quickly make my breakfast and after that get ready to go for my walk. It is 9.30, I am walking by the Whites Road. It is not busy. Not much traffic here. I think it is Sunday people will be enjoying their time at home. People like to start their day not so early on weekends. Some of them, especially teenagers, might still be in bed. They enjoy their weekends staying late at night. They take their lives differently making full use of their time in hand. I take them like my role models. Smiley faces, bright eyes. It looks like life is all good for them. They don't take the ups and downs of the days ahead seriously. I think they trust their confidence to handle whatever will be coming on the way. I salute their confidence and attitude towards life. I am enjoying my walk. It is hot and humid, but I am ok with that. I already selected my tops out of my wardrobe for the ...

  It has been raining since late last night. My deck is all clean and washed. Rain drops are glistening on grass.  Trees look happy after having a morning shower. The pink Canadian roses are smiling. We are happy having a break after a hot weather with 41 C for a couple of days. It is early morning 8.30, and the rain is intense. I check the speed of the rain fall on the glass top of my steel garden table. It helps me to chalk out my outdoor plans on rainy days. I am having my breakfast. One teaspoon of honey with a pinch of salt in warm water. Oatmeal porridge in hot milk after that. I skip my morning tea / coffee at home. I have it with my senior club friends at the library on my work days. On the other days I walk to the Coffee House to enjoy my coffee over there. We have to plan our days to enjoy in whatever way we can. It is god to give color to our life. Our attitude is key. It changes the perspective of life and how we take it. Life is the same with bitter, sour and swee...

Summery days, hot mornings. Flowers blooming, grass lush green.  Birds around. Squirrels are busy playing hide and seek in gardens. People planning for parties outdoors. It is time to hit roads, waters and trails. We People have just a couple of weeks to enjoy our summer in Canada. We try every chance to make use of it. We were waiting for a long time to enjoy these days. We know that we have to bundle up after a while in our intense winter days. We are enjoying our time for now. We will handle whatever will be there in the coming days. We humans are able to make adjustments accordingly. It is 8.30 in the morning. I am out of my bed. I used to switch on my computer the first thing in the morning. I check the weather to coordinate with my day plans. It is 37C for now. It will be 43 C later on. I think it is better to go out for my walk now. I will have a quick breakfast and will be ready. It is 9.15, I am leaving for the Coffee House. It is hot and humid. There's nothing a total pl...
