We learn from mistakes

Tuesday -- Beautiful sunny cold morning with 13 C below zero. It is beauty of Canada that most of the times, it remains bright and sunny even if it is 25 or 30 C below zero. It is 10.45 morning, I am in my room with my computer. My window curtains are drawn up, my computer is switched on. I am enjoying the beautiful atmosphere and also connected with my family and friends too. Browsing the Facebook messages.

It must be snowing early morning. I can see the white powder everywhere. The green of my front garden is all under snow, glittering under the sun. Sun is in full bloom so I can see some green patches started emerging out of the white. Road displaying a mix of white and grey scenic view, because of the snow. Amazing.

My daughter, the youngest one calling me from Reading, England. She was back from work, called me on the way going home. She knows, she will be busy after, no time for calls. It was a brief talk, just to connect. We have to appreciate for whatever our kids can do for us. They have their own family and own things to do.

Now I am going through my Facebook messages. My friend from Perth, Australia, giving me details of her trip to Esperance. It was 10 hours drive from her place. She was there for couple of days with her daughter's family.  Beautiful town of beaches, parks and wild flowers. It was tiring for her but, worth it, she was happy. We use to share messages every day. I get her message every morning. So nice of her.

Yesterday I was making fruit salad, while cutting apples, mistakenly got my left thumb in between. It is now wrapped under bandage. I put my thumb  under tap water to stop bleeding, bandaged right away, have to complete my dish. It was my fault, I was in a hurry, to finish my work. We always have to keep in mind that patience is virtue. 

Anyway, I am fine, just keeping bandage on, so to remember, not to use my thumb for a while. These things are part of life. We learn from our mistakes. Nothing wrong with that. I learned to handle things without using my thumb. 

It is 11.30, I am at the lake. It is cold, but I am all dressed up in layers. My maroon sweater is underneath my long warm black winter coat. I have my gloves, stole and woolen cap, everything with me. All set to handle the weather. No worries, for now enjoying the beautiful atmosphere around.

    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 ...

      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...
