Thought Of The Day

Happy New Year to All My Dear Readers It is Monday cloudy hazy morning with 3 C. It was raining last night.  Everything looking beautiful after shower. Skeleton trees all decorated  with  pearls. Pearls also scattered all around on the grass at my front garden. I am getting ready to go. I am working part time today. It is end of December one more year is going down the drain. Time passing so quickly. We have to value every moment. What is gone never comes back. So much done in the past week. So much to write down for my Dear Readers. On the third Thursday of every month, we have pot luck in our club. We purchased tickets for five dollars to get light snacks, sandwiches,  deserts, coffee and tea.  Gate prizes were also there for tickets, to be called. It was festive  atmosphere.  I enjoyed the music and the people around. The whole  event was for our club members. My friend who was giving me ride home, was leaving ...

My apology to all my  Dear Christian Readers for not writing Merry Christmas I made a correction afterwards  in my Blog  We have to respect All Religions It is Wednesday cold cloudy morning, rain is on the way. I am getting ready for my work and also enjoying the scenic view through my bedroom window. Black squirrel is busy getting groceries from my front garden. Yesterday while I was walking to Tim Horton, I saw couple of birds having  chit chat in their apartments. I think they were busy with some family  gathering event.  Here in Toronto weather is bit tricky with so much ups and downs in  day  temperature. I think they get confused because of that and are back  early  from South of the Border. It is 9.30, I am in the library. I am working over time today. Playing Darts  and  Bowling so will be off after 3 pm. But I have to go back to work again  at 6.30 pm for Mayor's Li...

Merry Christmas to all My Dear Christian Readers              and Happy Holidays to  Everyone Tuesday hazy cloudy morning with 7 C below zero. Not any chances for sun  to come out. He is hiding somewhere up and above. My Son is away for two days. He is in Montreal. It looks so quiet to me.  He used to be at work, I mean  not home during day times but thinking  of that he is not in the city, is not  the "Feel" I am enjoying any more.  Anyway he will be back by tomorrow night. It is 11.30, I was about to start my shower but changed  my mind, to go for  my walk and shower after. I am all dressed up in layers.  My maroon  sweater  underneath with my long black coat and beautiful  floral  stole of  my Youngest Daughter. I got it from her as a souvenir. It reminds me of the memorable moments, we spent together. It is 11.45, I am walking by Whites Road. It j...

Monday bright  sunny   beautiful morning  with zero C, not below   zero.  Most of the snow gone by now, still I see so much around.  I am  working part time, no bowling today, playing only darts. Tomorrow my Son will be leaving for Montreal for his office work. He will be back by Wednesday night. I have to find my ride for going to my work.  I work full time on Wednesdays, on top, there is Mayor's Light Tour from  7 pm to 10 pm. I never miss that event. We have to avail every chance to get out. It helps to keep us away from negative thoughts.  I have to find ride for that too. I told you I have people, who will be ready to  give me ride but I don't ask everyone. I mentioned in my earlier Blog that  about half a century back I read a Research paper in Scientific American.  That paper was about the rays emitting from the extremities of we Humans.  These rays play very important role to ge...

Beautiful Saturday morning with 8 C below zero. It was snowing last night. Here in Toronto most of the times, snow melts right away. Sometimes in couple of hours, in some cases takes couple of days. Whenever it starts snowing, it changes the whole atmosphere into a land  of wonders. Every time, looks like a total new scenic view to behold.  It gives a blank  medium  to draw anything you like to print. Specially on weekends, no footprints, nothing there, looks like a virgin land  of peace and tranquility.  All skeleton trees, dressed up in beautiful  white  glossy costumes,  ready to celebrate Christmas and New Year festivities. Other plants are also in same mood, bearing white cottony flowers. Blue  trampoline, in my backyard, looks wonderful with milky white net around. There is thick white layer on the top of it's blue base.  Red wooden bench at my front garden, giving a beautiful look with white l...

I am thankful to all my Dear Readers for their understanding and  cooperation.  It gave me a chance to work on "Story of my life", a project  of Ontario Society of Senior Citizens. Ontario is one of the province of  Canada. I already submitted, it will be decided for publication early next year.  This was possible because of you, my Dear Readers. You allowed me to  work on this project.  Weather is not so cold 5 C below zero. It is like summer here in Canada.  Birds looking beautiful flying in groups, I think leaving for South  of  Border.  I saw Black Squirrel. He comes every morning to get groceries  from my  front garden. Red wooden bench shining in my back garden. Lots of Copper and Bronze  still there, but I can't see any Gold in my backyard.

It is Sunday morning with drizzle, temp is great. It is zero degree, will be 10 C  in the afternoon.  It is  like summer in Canada. It happens  here  in winter time, for a while temp  goes in  plus, called Indian Summer.  Because of drizzle, the skeleton trees are all decorated with white pearls.  Copper and Bronze is still there in my back garden. Not much Gold  left,  I think it is stolen away.  Black Squirrel busy getting groceries from my front garden. Today my late  husband's niece is coming with her family at my place. I am thinking about  the time of about ten years back, she was having problem with her marriage.  My brother in law called me from back home to go to her place to help her  out. She used to live at Sudbury, eight hours drive from Toronto. I got Grey Hound coach to go there. I stayed with her for couple of days.   Everything is fine now she has tw...

It is Wednesday sunny bright beautiful cold morning with 8 C below zero. Snow everywhere. Grass on my front garden is all covered with white  stuff.  Most of the Bronze and Copper on my backyard is now turned into  Silver. Red Caravan on my driveway looking great wrapped under white sheet. Silver Jetta shining out of the silver coating. No squirrel, no  Butterfly, no  rabbit, I think they all will be back by March next year. Neighborhood is all quiet. When outside world is quiet, we have to open up  our inside window. I mean turn to the inside world of yours, the beauty of your own  inner self. There is so much going on there.  We have no time to look into  our inside, our personality, our interests,  our hidden talents. Now we have time to think about, to make "Things to do" List. 1 : Start writing your journal. 2 : Start writing any book, you like to. Not necessary to get it published. 3 : Compile ...

It is Saturday bright beautiful mixed sunny and cloudy day with 2 C  below zero.  I am done with my breakfast watching TV sports channel is on. Everyone  sleeping, me and my Son are awake. My Son has to go to workshop for his Red Caravan, I will go with him. He can drop me at Tim Horton. I will enjoy my time alone slot. It is 11.30 I am at Coffee House, having my half and half coffee, toasted multigrain  bagel  with butter, writing my Blog. Today I have to discuss couple of things with you, My Dear Readers.  Nowadays I am under lot of pressure. Don't take it wrong, nothing serious. Pressure is from friends of my community and from my Senior Club friends. Everyone asking me to write for their groups. I think they are right.  Couple  of years back I used to write short stories for weekly local papers.  Those stories  were popular in community circle.  They keep on asking me when I will start to write ...
