Just Top Up Some Fuel

-

 

It is beautiful cold sunny morning of mid November, 2 C, feels like one below zero. Winter already started. Yesterday went to Petticoat Creek, it was very cold, I had to be back in my car after few minutes. Although I was wearing warm jacket and gloves, not enough, I think. I have to take out my heavy coat from now on. We have to dress up according to the weather conditions. Have to go with the flow.

It is 9.15, I am done with my breakfast, now in my room. My computer is in front, window curtains are drawn up. I can see my front garden, also the view of my neighborhood. It is Tuesday, our garbage pick up day. Blue, Green and Grey bins are all lined up on driveways. I salute all the front line workers for their efforts to make our lives easy, in this Covid period of time. We have to value their contributions. They are great.

My daughter, the middle one, called me from Grimsby. She was going back from school. Her day is nearly done. It is already afternoon in England. She usually talks on the way, as no time, while she will be home, will be busy with other stuff. I can understand, they have to be with the family of their own. Family comes first. We did the same, in our time. We have to appreciate our kids, for whatever time they can share with we parents. 

It is 10.30, I have to go for a shower to wake up my body. Some days, bodies don't listen. Nothing wrong with that. We Humans are not Robot. So many factors around, are responsible, to tilt our Mood. Weather, people, surroundings, everything matters, plays it's part, in some positive way or otherwise. 

Our body is a complex piece of machinery. We have to keep track of it's servicing, oiling, denting painting, to keep it running. I will take shower, to brush it up, after that go downstairs, to my kitchen, to make banana shake, to put some fuel, to top up energy level. I think, after that, it will be fine, it can go with my plans. Nothing works one sided. There is always give and take, in all relationships. Same works with mind and body.

  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
