White Swans Sitting Quietly

-

 










Friday -- Beautiful cold morning of late October with 2 C below zero. I am done with my breakfast enjoying my tea, watching the scenic view of my back garden through the big glass panels of my patio doors. I popped my face out to have a feel of the breeze. I am skipping my walk on the deck. I am not in a mood to dress up in layers. It is early morning. I will do that after, while going to lake.

Trees go on showering Gold, Bronze, Coffee and Copper leaves on the green of my lawn. Some trees are turned into skeletons. Some are still facing the weather turmoil. This is time of transition. 

Summer is handing over his power. Fall is there to take over all the responsibilities till winter comes to take it away. Winter comes with ambitious plans to rule for rest of the year, also pushing for couple of extra months until Summer exerts it's power to make winter to leave the ground. This power struggle goes on year after year. 

We Humans have to adjust with whatever is there. Have to learn to enjoy our moments. Our life span is chalked out beforehand. We wont get extra time. We can not waste our moments to wait for what will be good and suits our life. 

We have to go with the flow. Do adjustments with whatever is available. Adjustments with the atmosphere and also with the people. We can not change anything or any person around. We have to focus on our own self, to change our attitude and style of life. Things will be fine after that. Life will be good.

It is 11.30, I am at lake. I have my long black coat, underneath my light blue jacket, having my woolen stole and my gloves. I am all set. Lake looking great with high tides. Couple of white Swans are there, not floating. They are sitting quietly taking various spots in the lake, away from tides. 

Gold leaves are scattered on the path. I am scared, walking carefully, not to crush them under my feet. Two people walking their dog. One is biking. I am enjoying the entire view. What a scenic atmosphere. Moments to meditate, to enjoy, to cherish. Thank you God.

    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 ...

Have a taste of Nature

      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...
