Happy New Year

I wish a very happy New Year to all my Dear Readers.


Friday -- Beautiful mixed sunny cloudy brand new morning of 2021. No snow no rain, still cold with 11 C below zero. Snow started melting down but I can see so much white stuff all around in my neighborhood. 

last night the year 2020 stepped down, handed all of it's powers to the Next one to step in. I stayed in the TV lounge to watch the oath taking ceremony at midnight. 

The year 2021 gracefully landed to put it's first step down. It was festive atmosphere with music and fire works. Of course it was different one. Because of Covid, people stayed away. Followed the Directives, stayed home and watched on TV. 

We have to follow, whatever is required. Use masks and keep distancing. This is for our own safety and also for the people around. Things are about to change soon. We have to wait. Have patience. This too shall pass. 

May this 2021 bring peace and happiness to all of the Creatures of God. Amen.   

It is 10.30, I am at Petticoat Creek. It is beautiful here. A big portion of lake is frozen. At the other side water looking great. People are busy canyoning, some are Kayaking. On the frozen part, people playing hockey. Some walking around. 

My son enjoying his walk on the frozen lake. He got his Cleats, the special shoes for that. I am bundled up with my sweater, long winter coat, gloves, cap, stole, with double sox and my warm winter shoes, all set to walk around the lake. People are biking, some walking with dogs and families.

Train passing on the overhead bridge. Birds flying magnificently in groups, like cherry on top, adding up the beauty of this festive atmosphere. Amazing. It is for sure a beautiful day of the New Year. No doubt about that.

  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
