Thought Of The Day

  It is 8.30, beautiful sunny morning, 12 C, not so cold for we Canadians. Looks like summer. Snow and sub zero temperatures are still weeks away. Enough time to get ready, to dig out our closets for coats, gloves and stoles. For now we are enjoying the beauty around. I am done with my breakfast, walking on my deck. It is wet, but I think safe to walk. Let's take chances. I will be careful. Grass looking great, loaded with pearls, sparkling under the sun. Red, Yellow and Purple flowers of Dahlia, giving me smile. I think giving me invitation to come closer. I am staying on the deck, will skip to walk on the grass. Not nice to crush any of the pearl under my feet. I smiled back. We have to acknowledge gestures.  Pink Canadian Roses and David Austin, the Red English Roses, are still enjoying their break time. Everyone is different, same are plants. We have to give space and leave  them alone, to decide and go with their own plans. My elder grandson started his job, and my d...

  It is 8.15, one of the cold mornings of late September. Weather is changing. Winter is just around the corner. For couple of days, was raining of and on. Day before it was all day. My Dahlia plants are not in good shape. All bent down because of wind and heavy rain, still managing, trying to look  composed. I salute their will power. Their attitude, to face things with grace and dignity. Their Red, Purple and Deep Yellow flowers are smiling, like nothing happened, it is all set.  It is mixed sunny cloudy morning. Sun is hiding somewhere, inside the misty sky. My Deck is all wet, I think, was raining early morning. I am walking in my back garden, my feet are deep down in the wet grass. I am enjoying the unique experience, as if, I am in a Marshy land. Nature is amazing. We get something surprising every moment. Just keep your eyes open, to observe, what is going around. You will get the thrill of the moment, to cherish, to make your day brighter. Every day brings new exp...

  Beautiful weather, not too hot , not too cold. It was raining last night, my Deck is all wet, shining under the sun. Sun is not in full bloom, hiding somewhere inside the hazy sky. It comes out once a while, to give assurance that I am here, not far. It is 8.45, I am done with my breakfast, enjoying my morning cup of tea in my back garden. Grass is lush green, loaded with pearls. I have taken my shoes off, to touch the grass. It is a great experience to be cherished for long.  Beside the wooden fence of my garden,  Red, Yellow and Purple flowers of Dahlia, are looking great, giving color to the scenic view, adding up the beauty of my garden. I see, my friend the White Butterfly is also here, talking to flowers, in a whisper. Flowers are  smiling, shaking their heads, I think, they are controlling their giggles. It is 10.15, I am sitting in my room.  It is cool Breeze outside. I can feel with my  windows open. My computer is beside me, like an open book, t...

  It is 8.30, I am in my kitchen, making my breakfast, my oatmeal porridge and stir fry egg, will have with my morning cup of tea. Beautiful Scarlet Red, Deep Orange and Yellow flowers of Dahlia, giving me smiles from the flower bed of my back garden. Black Squirrel is also here, busy with his work outs on the wooden fence of my garden. It is a beautiful view to behold. But  no time for me to enjoy.  I started working on Fridays,  have to get ready to leave at 9.30, to my work place, to play Darts.  It is 11.40, I am back, will take a quick shower after that will go to my kitchen to make banana Blueberry shake for my son and for my eldest grandson, he is awake, will be happy. It is good to put smile on the faces around. We feel good too. What goes around, comes back to you. So simple. I will make Shake for myself too. Never have to forget, to give treats to yourselves. It will help to push your body to get going, to cooperate with the plans, our mind got ready f...

  It is mid September. Weather is tricky, like roller coaster. Rain at nights, mornings are cool and days hot. Today it is 25 C, feels like 3 1.  It is 9.15, I am done with my breakfast. My eldest grandson left for his job. He started his first job after his Uni. Opened up the book of his life, to write a new chapter. He will have very different experiences than that of his student era.  Student life is our time of adjustment, an era of try and error, the period of learning to compile our "Handbook" of experiences, to refer after, in our practical life. Here we don't have to pay much for our mistakes, we get time to correct, to come back on track, which we don't get so often in our practical life.  Student life is like our journey through the fairy land. Land of fantasy. We go to school with bulk of Dreams. Dreams, we plan to make it happen. We believe, Dreams are not just fantasy. It is reality, will "come true", in just matter of time. We have confidence, ...

  Beautiful bright sunny morning. It is 9.15, I am done with my breakfast, enjoying morning tea, in my back garden. Black Squirrel is passing by my flower bed. Beautiful Red, Orange and Yellow flowers of Dahlia, are in front, for me, to behold, to cherish their beauty. Grass is lush green under my feet, is loaded with pearls. I am walking carefully, not to crush, any. My youngest grandson is about to leave for his school. My eldest one, just left for cottage, with his friends. He has to start his first job, after finishing Uni, from Monday. He has couple of days left, to enjoy his time before that. Time flies, things change quickly. Kids have to move on, leaving their Nest empty.  We have to accept that. It is reality. We did the same to our parents.  Enjoy whatever time, you share with them. Show tolerance. Try to be  patient, be kind with words and actions, so that, they leave, on a happy note and baggage of good memories, to carry on, for the rest of their life. W...

  It is 8.30 morning, one of the mornings of early September. Weather is tricky, unpredictable, like a roller coaster. Some days are hot and humid, some Breezy. Evenings are pleasant, slightly cold. I think, September is the month of adjustments. Time to take an exit from "Summer" and to give entry into "Fall". Fall, the season of colors. Time to take a break from summer activities. Time to pa us e, to relax, to behold and cherish the beauty around. It is Tuesday, our garbage day today. Bins are lined up on driveways, in my neighborhood. Yellow and brown garbage truck just arrived for pick ups. I salute all the people, working on front lines. They keep on managing things, in this Covid period, making our lives easy. You people are Great. No doubt in that. My prayers are with you. May God Almighty keep you safe and healthy. Amen. My daughter in law goes to work on Tuesdays, so no car today. No lake trip for me, today. I was planning to walk to "Metro" to ge...

  Beautiful morning, not so hot, not too cold. September already started. It will change quickly, from summer to winter. Don't have to worry about. It will be fine. Fall will be, in between like a buffer. We will get enough time to dig out our closets for coats and gloves, to get ready for our Canadian winter. For now, time to enjoy summer. Time to get out, to walk around, to go to lakes. Time to behold the beauty of Flowers, Butterflies, Rabbits, Squirrels. Time to feel and inhale the aroma, the fragrance of the scented  atmosphere around. Time to enjoy and cherish the beauty of moments, as a keepsake for your memory box. To open up, to enjoy later. Our memory box is a rare treasure. We are Humans, not Robots. Have to face our ups and downs, while dealing with our day to day matters. Sometimes, we have to take an exit, to have our time alone slots, to open up our memory box, to feel good, to be back on track. The track of positivity.  It is 8.45, I am done with my breakf...
