Golden Girls

-

















Today a unique day in my life
 I got the News
that my first Granddaughter is engaged and
to be married this summer
My daughter called me
from England

Her voice full of joy 
She was looking forward and
making all the big plans

I was happy
after a while started feeling that
all of a sudden I am getting much older
It is difficult to accept that days are done for you
It is a very hard fact
I still love to be called "Golden Girl "

 It is always tough to face the reality and that
It is time to leave the stage for
the next generations to come

We have to face it with dignity
I know it is ridiculous to be alarmed
I feel ashamed of myself
so no need to letting anyone know about this

This will be a deep down secret in my heart
I was thinking about my Mom
how much weight of all the secrets
she must be carrying throughout her life 
 Facing with dignity

I never got any clue of any of that
She was always a Great strong figure for me
I looked at her for my each and every problems
In my opinion she was a woman of steel

Now I realize that all of our wrinkles are due
to the pressure of each and every
Emotional turmoils we face in our life

Most of them we can not share
Too personal
Our dignity and personality looks
so superficial, if people know our
Real face we lose all our Godmother image and
we don't want that

For our children we want to remain
Like a towering figure to follow our footsteps
Do we have many faces of our personality ?

It reminds me the Character of " Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde " 
from my High school days of English literature book

It is true we all have faces one we show to public 
The other always to Hide, a secret only to us
Believe me most of the time
I become ashamed of my other face
I can not stand that

All these secrets be buried with me like
The secrets of my Mom are with her for ever

    Beautiful morning sunny and bright. No more rain. We had already more than enough of it. Grass and flowers, don't need any watering. It is 26 C, hot day.   This is weekend, I have to do my hair color. My friend invited me for afternoon tea. I will go there. It is always good to be with friends and family. We have to accept invitations, to make our day. I think, calls are sort of blessings. Signals from God for us to gather happiness. Life is nearly the same for everyone. It is all up to us, how we take it.  Try to give color to the moments in hand. Sitting idle, doing nothing, won't bring happiness. Try to be active, do something, anything you like to do. Go for walk, to look the scenery around.  Some people like outdoors, some not. They like to be indoors. Find the spot of your choice in your garden / balcony, get book / magazine of your interest, to be happy. Bird watching is beautiful. You feel great, watching them doing things, you get invo...

     October 29th 2024 It's a different scenario today. Cloudy morning hazy sky. Sun is hiding under his gray blanket. It is Tuesday so I don't have to go to work. No Darts today at the library. It is a day off for me. I have to make other plans to make my day. Day offs are like clean slates. We have to write our schedule to fill out the columns of the day. When we have to go to work or school, our timings are all set.  We don't have to worry about how to pass our time. We have just a couple of hours left to sort out after coming back from our workplace or school. Weekends and day offs are tricky. We need some homework to fill out our day slots. Try to make it like a combo, a mixed plate to have a taste of everything. Day offs are like blank sheets. We can write, paint, whatever we want to do, to fill out. Every day is like a container with twenty four hours of consignment. It's delivered every morning.  We have to open it and use to finish it up. It all has to ...

      October 22nd 2024 Great morning 18C. It is like summer for Canadians. Couple of more days to enjoy the outdoors.  Beautiful leaves of all colors are everywhere giving a scenic look to the atmosphere to behold and to cherish these moments. Nature is amazing. There is always something for we Humans to make our day. Take some time off from your day today to look around. You will find beauty everywhere. It doesn't matter in which part of the world you live. Don't have to plan for long trips. It is all at your doorsteps. Keep your eyes open and take a break to smell the nature around. You will get the flavor and also inner peace deep down. It will be a rare happiness all on its own. You don't have to make any payments, any investments for that. Just a time alone slot and all the transactions will be done. It works like meditation. It's 11.45, I am at Tim Hortons enjoying my small tea, not coffee today. We have to change our menu too. It works something like a change...
