Spring is Just around the Corner

-

 

It is one of the beautiful bright sunny mornings of early February. Snow is still around but not so cold. It is just 3 C below zero, feels like 8 below. This is like summer in Toronto for we Canadians. My daughter in Edmonton is coping with 30 C below zero. They have special boots and jackets to handle the Icy conditions and freezing cold. We Humans are amazing creatures. We can survive. Know how to enjoy whatever is there. Make adjustments.

Couple of weeks back, there was a real snow storm in Toronto, otherwise we don't see snow piling up for such a long time. Snow banks are still along the pathways and by the road side. It will take time to clear all the mess. I salute frontline workers for pitching in so much, to make our lives easier. Our roads and walkways are all clear. Our garbage picked up all the times, on designated days.  That is great. We have to realize, admire and have to appreciate their efforts.

This Covid period of time is now for more than two years. Not easy for anyone but it is tough for our frontline workers. They managed things around, did whatever possible, so that we can carry on our lives in a normal way. I salute them.

It is 10.15, I am done with my breakfast and with my chores downstairs, making peanut butter sandwiches and chocolate milk for my youngest grandson, my Slurpee Boy. He has to go for in person schooling. Made beef burger lunch too. He will be back in the afternoon. It is nice that things are getting back to the normal routine. Good for kids to interact, to get out, to enjoy their time.

I am sitting in my room, my computer is switched on to connect me with my loved ones. I love my computer. Blinds of my windows, are drawn up to connect me with the world outside. Life is good. 

Red wooden bench on the left corner of my front garden, is looking great, half embedded under snow and with thick snow slab on top. Black Squirrel is playing around. It looks windy, I see skeleton trees are shaking their heads. Couple of more weeks to go, things will change.

 March is getting closer. Spring is just around the corner. There is always light at the end of tunnel. Get busy to distract yourself from thinking negative. Stay positive and everything starts looking positive.

    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...
