I am Working Part Time

-

 








Friday -- Beautiful sunny morning with 2 C below zero. Looks like summer here in Canada. Birds started coming back from South of the Border. Magnolia tree on my front garden, started coming, back to life. Skeleton trees around, not shaky anymore, look confident. Signs of revival of life everywhere.

Nowadays I am working part time. It is 9.15, I am getting ready to go to work. Activities now are started at my senior club. We have to keep distancing and follow the directives. I go to play Darts with mask to follow the rules. 

I am wearing my navy blue pants. This is a gift from my middle daughter, from Marks Spencer, one of my favorite stores. She got for me, while I was visiting her place at Grimsby. My navy blue shirt is also from the same store. It is gifted from my another daughter, who used to live in Croydon, now moved to Kent. 

I am facing sort of tug of war situation between my mind and my body. My mind taking me to London, to the places, I visited during my stay at my daughters. My body wants to take me to the the Recreation Centre, to play Darts. I have to control my mind, to calm down, to take back seat for a while. Let my body to take a lead. Sometimes you have to take position, to sort things out.

I don't want to skip my work. Have to go to play Darts. It is like a work nowadays. No fun, no tea / coffee breaks, no shake hands. Just playing darts using masks and keeping social distancing. Still it is a chance to get out.

We have to make use of whatever is available. Any chance to get out, to change our scenery. We don't know, how long we are able to do things, what we are doing today. Things can change at any time, at any stage. So many of my friends are now gone, some staying home, because of health issues. 

Value the moments in hand. Feel fortunate for being able to do anything you can. Try to get busy with whatever you can. Do whatever, you like to do. It will help to take you to the right track, to the track of positivity. We have to live in day tight compartment. Leave no space for negative thoughts. This is the Recipe of living happily.

    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...
