I Salute You February

-

 






Tuesday -- Cold cloudy morning with 9 C below zero. White dust everywhere. More snow to come. Weather channel showing, it is on the way. What you expect my dear. It is Canada and on top, February is getting closer. Not a week away. 

I still remember, the time around more than quarter a century back. I was in Ottawa, in the land of ice. Snow floating in lake, even in the month of May. My son was busy with his Masters and his work at "Nortel".

To pass my time, I joined Oxfam, Immigration Centre and volunteered in Carlton Uni. Started some courses. My teacher asked about the month and date. It was month of February. She started giving a bleak picture of the month of February. 

According to her, this is the month of family disputes, separations and divorces. This month looks, like a tunnel with no light. I remember all that. But I don't agree with all this. 

Weather and people around, matter a lot in our life. Still, I believe that thinking positive is the key to lead a happy life. It keeps us away from  disputes and helps to go on the right track. I don't believe in, no lights at the end of tunnels. I believe, there is always light at the end of tunnel. 

Our thoughts are very important. What we think, we start believing. Keep your day plan ready, to live in day tight compartment. Leave no space for negative thoughts. Things will be fine. Take one day at a time and you don't have to worry. 

Anyway, it is great beautiful, here. I am done with my breakfast, sitting in my room with my friend, my computer. Blinds of my windows, are drawn up. I am enjoying the scenic view. White dust is showering from up and above. 

Snow started to change the entire scenario. My front garden is no more a garden, looks like a blank white piece of land. Grass is covered under the white blanket. Skeleton trees, looking beautiful, with white Christmas like  decorations. 

I don't believe, February is bleak. It not here yet, still started delivering so much to enjoy for we Canadians. Nothing is good or bad. Our thinking makes it so. Thank you February. I salute you for making our days.

    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...

Nature is great

     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...
