I am at Metro to get Bananas

Beautiful morning clear skies. Sun shining in full bloom. I am done with my breakfast, walking on my deck to have a feel of the breeze. Couple of birds having chit chat, saying Hi to me too, from the tree tops. Black Squirrel is busy with his exercises on the wooden fence. Calm and quiet atmosphere to proceed with usual daily activities for everyone. Not only for we Humans but for all Creatures of God.

My time is done in my back garden. Time now, to go to my room, to be with my computer, to go through my Facebook messages. Time to connect with family and friends. Time to talk to my daughters. They call me while going home from their work. They will be busy after, with matters of their own family. No time to talk. We parents have to realize all that. Have to take whatever is available for us. We have to appreciate and admire our kids for the time, they squeeze for us.

We have to recall our own time, how much, we were able to give to our  parents. I think it was never enough. We were busy with our own kids and family matters. We have to put ourselves in other person's shoes, to have a clear picture of the situation, to solve issues.

We parents usually criticize our kids for not paying attention and not making calls, so often. We have to think about our behavior. Our kids might be avoiding us, because of our attitude. We have to get rid of our complaining behavior. We have to pick their calls to talk anything positive. Our tone has to be a reflection of that. No one likes to hear negativity.

We have to assure our kids that we don't need anything from them. We are happy enough, just need to keep our connection alive. Let them go. Don't keep them on hold. They are not retired, have things to do. Keep that in mind. Minimize your expectations. That is the key to live a healthy and happy life. Focus on your own self. Find your own hobbies. Try to live and enjoy your time alone slot.

I am done with talks to my daughters. Time to make banana shake for my son and for my eldest grandson, the Lucky Guy. He likes that too. I checked the fruit basket. No banana there. I am getting ready to go to "Metro", to get bananas and Muffins from there. They have good bakery section. 

We have to find ways and things, to motivate ourselves to do things, to make us to get out. Metro is 15 to 20 minutes of my steps. I take time, to look around. We have to keep track of Roses, to smell and to have a feel of the aroma and fragrance of the atmosphere around. This all helps to make our day. I will get some chocolates too, from "Dollarama" for my grand kids. I think, enough to make my day. Life is good.

  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
