Is Lock Down an Opportunity ??

Vermont Garden Journal: Planning A Cottage Garden | Vermont Public ...














Tuesday --- Beautiful day. Bright mixed sunny cloudy morning. I can see 
birds and squirrel walking around in my back garden. Strictly following 
social distancing. They adjusted themselves with, what is going around. 
I am happy to see that all of my friends are now out of quarantine.

 Black Squirrel is busy with his exercises on the wooden fence. Pear tree,
on the left, looks like an skeleton, is happy, to see them around. Grass 
is back to it's lush green color. Blue Trampoline shining under the sun. 
Such a beautiful scenic view to behold. Thank You God  for making our 
days brighter.

It is 11.15, I am in the TV lounge, watching movie. It is in black and white, 
must be old one. My son is busy with his computer, with his work. He just 
keeps TV channels on, in the background. It is, "Coach Carter", a true 
story, good movie. I didn't watch the whole thing. It was about to finish. 
I am not a TV person, can not sit for hours before TV set, to watch the 
screen.

 I am done with my morning things, with my breakfast and sitting in the 
TV lounge. I watch whatever is already there. I don't switch channels. 
I sit there to spend time with my my son and to connect with what is 
going on, in my back garden. That is my objective.

 It is 11.45, I am getting ready for my walk. We are allowed to go out but 
have to follow social distance. I changed my route. I go around the streets 
of my neighborhood. It is quiet and no one is there.

 I changed my schedule too. I go to bed after 1.30 and get out of my bed,
after 10, in the morning. It is working for me. My grandsons wake up late. 
They are busy playing Video games at night. When they will be awake, 
I will be there for them. I don't go to bed, in day time. 

 It is quite a different atmosphere nowadays. Everything is under lock down. 
We don't have places to go out, to enjoy our time.Things are on hold. We, 
just have to walk around, keeping our distance. 

 It looks depressive but if we try to be flexible, try to adjust ourselves with 
the situation, things wont be looking gloomy. Try to think differently.Take 
this lock down period as an opportunity. Focus on your own self. Try to 
get busy with the things, you never had time to do before. You will start 
enjoying tour life.Trust me.

    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...

     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 ...

      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...
