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.

  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
