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.

  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
