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.

    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 involved.

     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 be done

      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 of
