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.

  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
