Smaller Towns

Grimsby 
England
26 July 2016

Today My daughter invited
couple of families at her place
she was discussing menu with me
we were busy doing groceries together
from Tesco and meat shop
I was helping her in the kitchen for
dinner preparation

Her husband is a doctor
Grimsby is a small town only one hospital so
close knit doctors community
families know each other
their kids about the same age group

party started at around 8.30 pm and
they left around 11.30 pm
two of the families came from Scanthorpe
it is a bigger town 40 minutes away from Grimsby
closer to London 
from there London is 3 hours

Everyone was feeling at home  and
having good time
10 year boy of one of the families was autistic

 my daughter too has one autistic girl
couple of years back when my daughter
was living in London she has nowhere to go
totally stuck with her autistic girl whole time
it became so terrible that she had no
choice but to leave her in " Home "
for her was a very difficult decision
but she has no alternate solution

small towns have their own plus
not so much distances 
people have time to socialize after work

we are social animals we need people
to talk to share our joy
and specially more important to share  our grief

    I dont like families or social gatherings. My preference is to be with myself

Bird are busy picknicking

    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 involved.

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 be done

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 of
