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.

    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...

Nature is great

     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 ...

Have a taste of Nature

      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...
