Small Double Double

-










Today temperature is 23°C
in Toronto it means a big thing
after a long snowy winter
and rain now time
to celebrate the Spring
green is peeping out of dead woods
Birds start chirping back from South

TV was on and I was overhearing the News
Not paying any attention to what is going on
There is always something going on and if
I am not part of that why should I care
I can not change any of these
damn things going on 
all around the world

I can take care only of the small world of 
mine That is also not easy
needs lot of efforts
After seventy years of age
 you have to do lot of work to
revive your body and soul
I was staring the TV screen and
 all of a sudden noticed that
today's temp is 23

I was having my lunch
I skipped the tea and
convinced myself to get out for a walk
Most of the times
I have to bribe myself so made
some promises
To buy a coffee to me
with something delicious
and succeeded to push myself out of  home
It was first time after so long that
I was not wearing any
light jacket or sweater
I was out and now a
part of this buzzing atmosphere


My first stop was Tim Horton
15 minutes walk from my house
Keep in mind it is my walking time
My grandson calls it Tim's
I had a small double double with one sugar
and a Danish

I can not finish even the small Coffee
so throw away the rest and
forget about finishing the Danish
so I saved it for my grandson

This pops up in my mind so many times
that like kiddy scoop and portions for
 kids
there should be
portions for we Seniors too

    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...

Nature is great

     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 ...

Have a taste of Nature

      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...
