Beauty Of Life
Sunday -- Beautiful mixed sunny cloudy morning of early October. It was raining last night. Deck in my backyard is all wet. It is 9.15, I am done with my breakfast. I will take my chances to go outside to enjoy my tea, to walk around in my back garden.
It is light drizzle, you can enjoy but can not get wet. Amazing. I am wearing my light blue jacket to cover myself. I think that's enough protection. It is 7 C. Cold. Sun came out, just for a while now hiding again.
It is no more a light drizzle, I have to go inside. At our age, we have to be extra careful. Keeping in mind that we have to avoid to be in situations, where our kids have to face problems. We become sick and be like a liability for our kids.
We have to avoid putting them in a position of taking care of us, of we parents. They already are busy with families of their own. We don't have to put them under some extra pressure to deal with.
We have to do things taking into account of our safety and our potential to handle the things, we are dealing with. We have to be cautious but have to keep pushing ourselves to move around to get busy with the things, whatever we can handle.
It is 10. 15, I am in my room, my computer is switched on, curtain of my windows are drawn up. I am browsing messages on my Facebook to connect with my loved ones and also enjoying the beautiful scenic view of outside, through the big glass panel of my window.
My front garden is full of colors, full of gold, bronze and all shades of green. I can see one small tree with full of red, in front of my neighbor's house across. My friend the Black Squirrel is enjoying his morning snacks on the red wooden bench, on the left at my front garden. There is so much to look around, to behold and to cherish through this window of mine, I feel myself lucky.
It is 11.30, I have to go to my kitchen. It is time to make banana shake for my son and for my own self. We never have to forget to give treat to our own self. This keeps us motivated. Our mind and body feel good, start thinking that we are not ignoring them. We are aware of their interests and well beings.They get themselves ready to accept the challenges ahead.
My youngest daughter called me from Reading. She was busy, going to Tesco to buy groceries. It is already afternoon at her place, in England. My daughter the middle one called me from Grimsby. She has to go to Scanthorpe hospital tomorrow for her MRI test. It is 40 minutes drive from her place. I think it will take whole day. she has to miss school for one more day.
Things happen in life. Life is full of surprises, full of events. Some we like, some we not. Life is like a mixed plate. We have to accept whatever is there.
Life is not a bed full of roses. It is not like a fairy land. This happens only in stories not in real life. Life is like an unpaved path. Difficult moments also come along in the journey of our life. We have to take it, accept with patience and grace and move on. We will get something else, next unpredictable. That is the beauty of life.
