This Too Shall Pass

-

 






Tuesday -- Beautiful cold cloudy morning with 8 C below zero. We know it will be below zero for couple of more months. Things will be changed from mid March. There is always light at the end of tunnel. We have to have patience. "This Too Shall Pass".

For now we are trying to enjoy with whatever is there. I mean dealing with Covid and with our freezing weather, here in Canada. I was at Petticoat Creek, last evening. People were walking on the frozen lake, playing hockey and were busy with ice fishing. Others were walking around, some with dogs, some with company, some enjoying their time alone slot. 

Firetruck was there too. I think to check the safety of the people, who were walking on the surface of the lake. My son forgot to bring his Cleat, so missed walk on ice. He is planning to do that today.

I am enjoying my walk too, by the frozen lake. All bundled up, in layers. My maroon sweater underneath my long black winter coat. The coat, my grandson, gifted me on his first pay. He lives in Grimsby. Maroon sweater, my sister in law, got me from Marks Spencer. I am wearing brick red woolen stole. That is gift too. One of my friend from senior club, gave me for New Year. 

I have my gloves and my black woolen cap. I got from Dollarama. Cap for four Dollars and Gloves for two. With all these gadgets, I have no problem to deal with this Canadian weather. I am all set. Just bring it on. 

It is 10.30, morning. I am done with my breakfast. Now, in my room, enjoying the company of my computer, going through my Facebook messages. Blinds of my windows are drawn up, to have a view of my front garden and my neighborhood.

My front garden is still a garden. Grass is still green with a yellowish tinge. Skeleton trees staying quietly around. Not snowing for couple of days, still I can see the white stuff is all around. We know it will stay for a while. We are okay with that. 

It is a quiet atmosphere all around in my neighborhood. Not much activity on the nearby Whites Road too. I think People staying home, working online. It is good to follow the Directives. Keep distancing and use Masks whenever required. Things will change. Stay positive. This Too Shall Pass.

  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
