Thought Of The Day

Tuesday, cloudy cold morning with 1 C. It is 10.30, I am done with my  breakfast.  Enjoying morning tea, sitting in the TV lounge for a while.  My son is working  from home. He is with his computer, busy with his  meetings.  I wont stay here long,  it will be distracting for him. I can see my back garden. Very quiet there. No Birds, no Black Squirrel.  Sun also staying home. It is good, everyone following the Directives.Trees  look shaky, scared, with a somber look. I think, they all are watching the  News channel.They are aware, what is going on around the world. My walks are on hold so I adjusted my time table.Sleeping late and not  getting up early. It is 10.45, I am back in my room,  busy with  my computer.  Going through Facebook messages. My daughter from Reading, England, called me. She is sick, staying in her  room. Not so bad, no high fever, still following the directives. It is her day  four. She has to be away form other family members, for s

Monday, cold cloudy morning with 5 C. Sun is in quarantine, I told you. He is sick, I am praying for him. I switched my time table, a bit.Time for  going  to bed is now,  after  1.30. I did it to adjust my wake up  timings.  I am off from my work so no point of getting up early. I can go for my  walks  to Tim Horton, any time. My grand kids sleep late so not awaking  up  early.  I don't have to make shakes, pancakes,  early  morning. We have to adjust our time accordingly, have to be flexible. I am thinking  about the people from club, who live alone. I will make couple of calls. Talk to them to connect, to share. It is 12.30, I am sitting in my TV lounge, doing my Scrabble  and  Sudoku  books, watching News channel and also enjoying  my  back garden view.  I saw the  Black Squirrel on the wooden fence. He didn't stay long, was  following the social distancing instructions.  Not  looking in good shape. He didn't do any exercise. I think, h

Sunday, cold cloudy morning with 1 C. It was raining last night.  I just  got up  looking through my bed room windows. Glass panels  are tinted  with  rain drops. My front garden looks beautiful. I can see  clear signals  of revival of life. No doubt about that. Sun still hiding, I think Sun got Corona. He must be in quarantine.  My days are now very busy as my eldest grandson is in bed. He broke his  ankle. It will take six to eight weeks, to recover. I am busy making  things  for him,  he likes to have.  Today I am planning to make pancakes. I like to get busy, to live in day  tight compartment. This is the recipe to live happily, to stay away from  thinking negative. Negative thoughts are key to, feeling lonely,  lead us to sleep disorder and  finally to depression. We start thinking about symptoms of all sort of  unseen  diseases. Putting ourselves into unnecessary, unavoidable misery. I like to live in day tight compartment. It gives me power to

Saturday cold cloudy morning with 1 C. Very quiet outside. I think, it  is weekend or may be most of the people staying home,taking precautions,  following instructions. I am busy with my laundry. I do it early morning, before having breakfast so to be done before noon. I have other plans after that.  One load is in  Dryer.  S econd one, of my sweaters and  stoles, is ready to go into washer. I think, this period of staying home, has to be taken like a blessing. To do things, we never have time to do.To spend time with our own self, to ponder, to focus on things, inside our home. Yesterday, I sorted my clothes, reorganized my cupboard. Clothes, I wear at home, are now on the upper shelves, at eye level. I did it  as sort of precaution. If I get sick, it will be easy to take clothes. I don't have to bed down. Easy to handle things.  We have to be  ready for anything.  It is 10.30, I am sitting in TV lounge. News Channel is on. I am watching  t

I am worried about my friends, Hannah and Smile Addict. I don't know, how are they I am not getting comments,  because of Glitch Praying anyway. It is Friday sunny beautiful morning with zero degree.  Yesterday was  cloudy  but  no rain just a drizzle. I was at Petticoat Creek, at 4.45 pm.  It was looking  great.  Swans  floating on blue  water. Some ducks  were  giving them company.  Birds in flock were there, to oversee.  They looked happy, singing,  celebrating.  I was walking around, enjoying. It was cloudy  with  light  drizzle.Water  exhibiting all shades of blue, black and grey.  What  a masterpiece of art.  Beautiful moments to cherish.  It is 11.30, my son went for walk with his wife.  My eldest grandson  hurt, day before. His right ankle, is  with hairline fracture.  I am  staying  home. Everyone in the family have to share and contribute, specially  in difficult  moments.

It is Monday cloudy morning, I think Sun is also staying home because  of the  Virus, taking precautions, following Directives. It is snowing,  I think  my walk will be on hold for today. It is OK, not end of the world. We have to switch our plans accordingly. I will find something else to get  busy  beside kitchen activities. My morning plans nowadays, are the same.  After having breakfast, I stay in the TV lounge, to watch some TV, to do my Cross word and Sudoku books, to enjoy the scenic view of my back garden. Every day it is a different scenario there, to enjoy the beauty of Nature. God Almighty keep on providing us variety, changing the scenery, so that we wont get bored. It looks to me like a slide show. If we try to see through, to observe, every tree exhibits so much to study, to think about. Look at the sky above, what a beautiful painting, I think, it is all done with water color.  Here comes the Black Squirrel to add up, to make it comp

It is Sunday beautiful sunny very cold morning chilly with 14 C below zero. I don't have to do any laundry today. I did two loads yesterday. I am done  for the week. It is 9.45, I am done with my breakfast now sitting in the  TV lounge.  I like this place. I can do multitasking sitting here at this place. TV is on,  to connect with the world and with the prevailing  situation.  I can get the  day  to day instructions of what to do and what  to avoid, at my  place,  in our  province, in our city, in our town. These directives will not be the same for everyone. It differs from place  to  place. We have to keep in mind, that is very important. We have to  follow,  whatever is advised. This is for our own good, for our safety.  Here in Toronto,  we can walk,  keeping a reasonable distance.  No gatherings of more than  five.  This is for  today.  Every day is different. Anyway, I was talking about the TV lounge and my multitasking.  I can watch  TV as w

Dear Friends Have a great day It is Friday beautiful sunny morning with 4 C. Perfect for my walk. I will be needing warm winter coat, my maroon sweater and the woolen  stole. I will be fine. Last night I didn't have good sleep. It happens. This is my age. Things start getting triggered, one after another. I was awake late till around three in the morning. I was lying down, till everyone gone to their room to sleep. We don't have to ruin other people's sleep just because of our own self. After 1.30, I went downstairs, watched TV for some time. There was  nothing good to watch.  I was back in my room with my computer. Played couple of Scrabble and  Card games. After that I watched some good shows on my computer  to  distract myself from anxiety. I went to bed around three. Life is like  Domino, one thing gets out of order, everything starts scrambling. Because of my sleep, I was late in the morning. Was not awake  till  9 am  after. At our

Keep in mind "This Too Shall Pass". Just a matter of time. God is watching over all of His Creatures. Trust me. It is Thursday beautiful morning with 3 C. Amazing no sub zero  temperatures. No snow any more. It is all a different scenario. Birds  are back from  South of the Border. Skeleton trees are now having a  sense of relief.  They know it is just matter of days, they will get  everything back,  whatever was on hold, their strength, their smile. There is change in our day to day life too. Everything is on hold for  now.  Restaurants, Cafe all closed. People have to stay away from each  other.  Only Drive Through and Take away, is working for now. Schools, colleges, Uni. all closed. People working from home.  It is a Full House. We have to be c

It is Sunday bright beautiful sunny morning with 2 C below zero. Our days of snow are done. Now we are going to get rains. Remember April showers, May flowers. Just enjoy whatever is there. Every season has it's own beauty, it's own flavor. We have to taste each of that. In the morning, I skipped doing my laundry. Not enough load to  wash.  It is 9.30, I am sitting in the TV lounge, enjoying Sports Channel,  for a while. I can see Black Squirrel in my back garden, enjoying his morning walk. I can't see any snow, all melted down. The blue trampoline, in the center, shining under the sun. On the left, pear skeleton tree, looks confidant, thinking about the good  days  ahead. I can see a sense of relief on his face, looks like, he is  ready  to face and tackle the days in his life. He doesn't look so fragile  as was before.  Everything around matters. I think, he started thinking positive, that  changed  his life. Attitude is everything

Dear Readers, please stop the Blog Reading Sessions for now, until things get back to normal. Read it at home. I will keep on writing. Have to follow the  Directives.  But  stay calm, no panic.  Be realistic,  buy and store essentials  and non perishable groceries.  Don't stop  thinking positive. Stay connected with the current situation  but also watch good shows to distract yourselves, to keep you out of  the gloomy atmosphere.  Everyone will be home for now so have patience and keep in mind that  everyone needs his/her own privacy. Respect everyone's emotions. Don't cross your limit. Don't intrude people's personal matters. Everyone needs his/her time alone slot. respect that. Thanks It is Saturday beautiful sunny morning with 2 C below zero.  Today I skipped my laundry, not my fault. It was not enough load to put into washer. Waste of time and electricity, not worth it. I am sitting in the TV lounge, watching sports channel and

It is Sunday beautiful sunny morning 5 C, not below zero. Time to  celebrate  for we Canadians.Today we have to switch our clocks. Time is now  changed.  We are one hour ahead than of our time  yesterday.  It will  be  like that for the  entire summer.  This is March, people are enjoying with family and friends, to welcome  spring.  I am getting invitations too.Yesterday I have to go to two places.  Today another  dinner invitation. Day after have to go to a wedding. My back still not good, giving me problem but I have to go. I can't say  "No".  I take invitations like, we are still in the Rink. We still matters,  People want  to connect with.  For me, invitations are like directives from God, to connect with His  Creatures and to  go  to spread Happiness around. We don't have to say  no,  if  someone invites. It means,  he is giving his hand for a hand  shake.  It is  blessing from God, a  welcome signal. Give it value and  go for that.

It is Saturday bright beautiful cold sunny morning with 5 C below zero.  For the  last couple of days, my back giving me hard time. At this age, things start  coming  up one after another. Before that, I was dealing with my sleep  problem  and now this.  But why to complain. What else we can expect at this age with our  old  machinery. People have their own suggestions, to combat old age issues,  like  slow down, and take medicines. I know all this will work, but I know  me. I go my own way. Rest and medicines are not in my dictionary. I think everyone  has his own  personality, his/her won style. Nothing wrong with that.  Some want quick  therapy, to be back on track. Rest and medicines are  the best options for  that.  For my back, I am using heating pad at night  time,  it will take time,  I know.   In the morning, I put my winter  coat in washer, by the time I will finish  my breakfast, my laundry will be  done.  It is 9.30, I am sitting in the  TV l

It is 10 am, I am done with my breakfast now sitting in the TV lounge, to  spend some time with my son. Everyone else sleeping. My son is watching Sports Channel.  I am busy doing my scrabble and  Sudoku books. I am also enjoying the view of  my  back garden, through  the big  glass panels, in front.  The pear tree on  the left, standing quietly.  It is now changed into  an  skeleton, but looks confident, patiently waiting for  the days  ahead.  There is always light at the end of tunnel. Keep  that  in mind.  " This Too  Shall Pass ". We always have to think positive,  no matter what. Black Squirrel is busy with his workouts on the wooden fence. The blue  Trampoline, in the center, looks magnificent, it's  net all around,  beautifully  decorated  with  white powdery stuff.   Snow glittering un

It is Saturday bright beautiful   sunny cold morning with 20 C below zero. Yesterday it was snowing all day, after 2 pm was heavy snow with Squall warning. It was windy with blowing snow and low visibility. Not  good  conditions for driving. I was working full time yesterday, from 10 to 12, playing Darts,  Carpet  Bowling  from 1 to 3 pm. I came home at 3.15 pm, after that was time to  be busy  with family matters. I mean to make banana and strawberry  shakes  for  my son and grandson.  I made for my own self too. We have to keep track of our own happiness  and well being. But for that, please don't bother others. Don't have to make  lives of  others miserable. We have to tackle things on our own. Handling things on your own will boost your inner self confidence. We feel  strong, ready to face our  routine matters in our daily life. This also provides  us opportunity, to keep  ourselves busy.  Try to spread happiness to the people around. This
