1st Day of December

-

 









Tuesday -- Beautiful cold morning with 7 C below zero. December already started, what you expect, it is Canada my Dear. White stuff showering from  above the sky. It looks a virgin land all around. Trees all decorated. Looking beautiful with white cottony flowers. Bodies of skeleton trees, dusted with white powder. Amazing.

Red wooden bench on the left side of my front garden, looking great on the white land. The land, which used to be my lawn. Weather channel predicting 10 cm of snow. Glass top of my garden table, showing that 4 cm is already there and day just started. Let us see. 

My back started giving me problems. This is our old age saga. Things start coming up at this period of our cycle of life. Body indicates to slow down. We just have to do accordingly. I mean listen to our body but don't have to be a couch potato. Have to do things in slower motion. Don't have to stop our routine activities. Remember what we don't use, we start losing. 

I was up early, also out of bed too. Sometimes we woke up but our body wont let us out of bed. We have no choice, stuck and listen to our body. In mornings, our mind not in a Mode to take drastic actions. He is also in drowsy mood. Not in a position to take decisions, to direct our body to take the right path.

For a change my mind superseded my body, I was out of bed too. It is 9. 45, I am done with my breakfast, sitting in my room, enjoying the scenic view from my window. My computer is switched on, to connect me with my loved ones. 

My back is much better. I learned to tackle these things. I know these sort of things will start coming up, like usual day to day matters at our age. What you expect with about quarter a century old piece of machinery. 

I start my day with five minutes stretch exercises, on my bed room carpet. Today I spent more time for my stretches. Hot water shower helped me out too. We Humans learn to handle whatever is there. We are able to adopt and make adjustments accordingly. We are really amazing Creatures of God. His great pieces of Creation.

    I have posted the blog in the Smile Corner. There is a line up of people outside as the security guards are helping to keep social distancing as you ordered. I am hearing from some customers that the priest has taken pictures when we were not observing social distancing and is planning to send it to the authorities. One customer was suggesting that I should start saving money to get a good lawyer, just in case. I dont want to do it at this time because it is just a rumour right now

      I have supplied extra copies of the recipe blog. Sorry for the delay. There were lots of people coming to me to get their blog, and with social distancing protocols in place, it made me late

      SWS was a hoot. We decided to go on the nature route. It is easier to do social distancing there. As usual, we talked about the blog

    Dear Advisor:

    The retirees went for our long walk today. Some retirees said that we should also cancel our walks as you are indicating through your actions to not go out in winter however others thought that even thought it is 14C, it should not stop us from going out. After that we had our lollipop. This walk, though very long for us, is nothing compared to the walks that you have. The retirees were very tired as we are out of practice for few days since it has been very cold here too with temps consistently around 15C.

    Today's blog reading was very well attended. The retired chef led the reading of the recipe blog and the retired professional athlete led the reading of your main blog. The hospital administrator, the retired nutritionist, the retired dietician, physicians, health care workers, as well as ex patients, and several more attended the reading of your blog. The recipes are very popular here. As is typically done, the baked beef recipe will be included in many menus effective today/

    Since the banning of Hindus from the gatherings as per your instructions, the retired priest has taken a bigger role. We were thinking of banning all Indians but he said Christian Indians should not be banned as you a good Christian lady. The retired priest has also put a donation box in the restaurant. He is collecting donations from everyone but specially hijab lady and the Sikh temple people. The donations are to hire someone to take care of his dogs during the times when he comes for blog readings.

    thank you

    Dear Author,

    We read your blog at the Smile Garden today. The plan was to read at the SRC but because of all the issues that we are having with the coronavirus, the Dean asked us to have the reading at the Smile Garden. The reading was uneventful but after the reading the Smile Army idiots started asking everyone if they have done the stretches in the morning. Some students did that and others did not. The Smile Army idiots started yelling at them and picked fights. In the end the Dean decided to call the police. The police officers came in their regular clothes. It was complete chaos.
    Many students living with their parents are having problems with their parents. Their parents bring up uncomfortable subjects during dinner. When the students want to eat alone at dinner, they get yelled at. We know that Master Slurpee and Golden Boy are probably not having to deal with it but for us, we dont know what to do. Some are thinking to do what the Lucky Guy did and live on campus. It is getting worse every day for us.

    thank you

Bird are busy picknicking

    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...
