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 age, things happen, not a big deal. We have to have 
patience and switch our plans accordingly. Old age is just any other 
stage of cycle of life. Have patience, stay calm and face with grace.

 Now first thing, I have to check my daughters Facebook messages. 
I do that every morning to know, how things are at their end. They 
call me too, to connect, as soon as, I write down "I am awake". 

 Anyway, It is 10.30, I am done with my morning exercise, my breakfast,
enjoying my tea, sitting in the TV lounge, watching  "Andy Griffith"
show. It is 11 am, I am in my room, busy with my computer. 

 I am not getting comments from my Readers Family. There is some Glitch,
I think. I am worried about my friends, Hannah and Niklas. I don't know 
how are things for them. I know Father, very selfish and Kris is helpless.

 It is 12.45, I am at Petticoat Creek, very windy, gusts, 70 km. At some point, 
it was difficult for me, to have balance. Lake looking great, beautiful. Water 
glittering under the sun. Not many ducks here. not many people, just couple 
of, walking with their dogs. Couple of kids riding their bikes.

 On the overhead bridge, "Via train", is passing by, it connects provinces 
and also goes to States. I can also see the other one, "Go train", which is 
inter city. 

I always get fascinated by trains. This is my childhood passion. I am 
enjoying everything.The scenic view, the atmosphere around, all worth 
to behold, to enjoy.

 It is 1.45, I am home. Time to be busy with my kitchen, to make banana 
shakes for my son and for myself. Have to make lunch for my youngest 
grandson, the Slurpee Boy. 

 I have to make couple of calls too. I will call my youngest sister. She lives
in Retirement Home. I will call my younger brother. I call him every day.
It is always good to be connected with your loved ones.

    I dont think my mother in law will get sick because she does not go outside anyways. If she gets sick, then she cant go for the blood test because there is no way she can skip breakfast. She eats all the time.

    Happy Reader

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
