Winter is Time to Ponder

-

 


It is 12.15, I am just back from work, after playing my Darts. It is cloudy misty day. Sun is hiding somewhere under the thick, off white blanket. Snow is still around. Looks like, sort of calm, quiet atmosphere. Skeleton trees standing around holding their breath, waiting for what will be the next.

Weather channel predicted wet snow for today. Let's see what will be there. Nothing to worry about. We Canadians already learned our lessons. We can handle. Just bring it on.

I am busy in my kitchen, making banana shakes. My friend the Black Squirrel is busy with his workouts in my back garden. He takes wooden fence of my garden, like his Gym. He looks well after his body. Takes his exercises seriously. He is smart.

My son filled up the two bird feeders, are now hanging by the tree. Small Red bird keeps coming to have her treat. Black squirrel takes her chances, jumps on the Feeders to get his share out of that. It is nice view to enjoy. 

Glass top of my steel garden table is loaded with thick slab of ice. Red garden chair, my son got from "Home Depot", is covered under the thick white sheet of snow. Winter here in Canada, is a real one. It is loud and clear. You can see it's glimpses everywhere. 

Winter is the time to think through, to ponder. To take time out, to search your inside. Every season is unique with it's own beauty. Try to enjoy with whatever is there. Time flies. Moments go on slipping from our hands, never to come back. Present moment is everything. Value that.

    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 ...

      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...
