Thought Of The Day

  Great morning. Beautiful day, a bit cold. It is 11 C, I have to take out my fawn color sweater to wear underneath my jacket. That will be perfect for this weather. Every night is not the same as our days. I had a good sleep last night, got up early to start my day. It is 8.30, I am in my kitchen making my oatmeal porridge for my breakfast. I won't be having tea /coffee at home. I will walk to the coffee house to get my coffee. It's good to check the weather before starting your day. It helps to chalk out our day plan. The weather shows light showers from 11 am. I have to pick my red umbrella, my favorite one for the way back from the coffee house. I am all set to start my walk. The trees around are still green. Golden yellow, violet and white flowers are giving colors to the atmosphere. A couple of pink roses are also here by the side of the Burger King. Enough to make my day. Life is the same with ups and downs. We have to come across some bitter moments too while passing th...

    This is the month of October. Days are passing. The dates keep on changing. Time is flying. Things are changing and so is our life. The time of April showers and May flowers is already done. This is the time of changing colors. The green is fading away. The trees look a bit worried, scared about the days ahead. Not their fault. The winter in Canada is a bit tough. Today is the 10th of October, I have to pack for my trip to England on the 29th of this month. Toronto to London is a long flight, seven plus flying hours. From door to door it will be much longer. Anyway what is there is there. Kids are busy with work and their family matters. We parents have to make efforts to keep our connections alive. One of my grandsons is going to be married to start another phase of his life. Kids keep on growing. We keep on crossing the various stages of our life. Life doesn't wait. Moments keep on slipping. We have to enjoy every bit of our life. Time gone won't be back. Keep that in mi...

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...

  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, 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 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...
