Red Cardinals and Black Squirrel

-

 







It is 9.15, I am done with breakfast, enjoying my morning tea on the deck. Great view of beautiful morning. Spring showering it's glamour all around. I can hear, birds having chit chat, must be making plans to eat out. They know, we have to follow the directives, have to keep social distancing. They will manage.

It was raining last night. Everything looks great after having shower. We have three bird feeders in our back garden. Red small birds, the Northern Cardinals keep coming on one of the feeder. Squirrel also enjoying the free treat. Yesterday I noticed two small Brown Rabbits were here too. They are regular visitors for couple of years, in spring time.

It is 10.15, time to go to my room, to be with my computer, to connect with my family and friends. We have to divide our day into slots, to get busy, to live in day tight compartment. To not to leave any space for negative thoughts. This keeps us on right track, away from thinking negative. 

Keep your day plan ready before hand. It is important at our age. When we are working, our time table is all set. We have to go to work or have to go school. We have fixed timing, set day plans. When we are retired, things are totally changed. We have to chalk out our own time table. Have to make our own plans to get busy.

We can not let, rest of the years of our life, to go to waste, to go down the drain. We have to take our retirement age, as an era of accomplishment. A period to make our dreams to come true. To find hobbies. We have now time for all this. Our assignments, our obligations, all done. No more time pressure. We have time for our own self, to do what we like to do. Let's celebrate. 

I have to do my hair color, haven't done for long. Have to change my bed sheets, will do laundry tomorrow. Weather is great. I have opened my window to feel the breeze. Amazing. We don't have to set mile stones to achieve. Just do what you like. No pressure. No one is there to check our progress. We are not at work. We are retired. Take it easy, just relax.

  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
