Sparkling Stream and Gold Leaves

-

 







Sunday -- It is the first day of November. Cloudy and rainy morning with 2 C. My back garden looking beautiful with full of Gold leaves. I am  watching and enjoying the flow of rain drops on the glass top of the patio table on the left side at my deck. I popped my face out to enjoy the musical notes of the rain drops. Beautiful view to behold, to enjoy, to cherish these moments.

It is 10.30, time at our place in Canada, is now one hour behind than the time of yesterday. It is normal routine to adjust the short days of winter. My son is fixing the big round wall clock of our TV lounge. I am done with my breakfast and also watching TV and spending time with my son. 

Now time to go to my room to be with my computer. To be with my friends and to spend time with my daughters. They will send me messages to set time to call. I will adjust my schedule to coordinate. We parents have to be flexible, keeping in mind that our kids have family of their own. 

Our kids must be busy with their family matters. We have to make adjustments. Give them liberty to pick the timings to connect. It is more than enough that they still having some time off from their busy schedule, to be with we parents. We have to appreciate and admire their efforts. 

Yesterday was cold day, cloudy with 2 C below zero. My son skipped going to lake. We went to Danforth park. It was great. Gold leaves were scattered all around. Water sparkling in the nearby stream. It was amazing to watch the gold and coffee leaves floating in water. Sun also came out to add up the beauty of the atmosphere. 

I was dressed up in layers. My maroon sweater underneath my long black coat. I also had my gloves and woolen stole on. I enjoyed. Today it is raining, I will make other plans to enjoy my time at home. We have to make adjustments with whatever is available. 

Don't have to wait for the moments. Make use of whatever is there. We don't know what will be the next. It is difficult to coordinate the timings and our existing health situation. Our Mood also plays a key role while enjoying our moments. There are so many variables.

Go with the flow. Don't waste time. Do what you can with the available circumstances. Get busy with things to stay away from negative thoughts. Live in day tight compartment so to leave no space for negativity.


Dear Readers Hope everything fine at your end.

  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
