Thought Of The Day

  It is end of March. Just two more days to enter into April. Weather is like a roller coaster. Very cold yesterday. Windy too. It was, feel like 21 C below zero with around 50 km gusts. Today is much better, still cold. Feel like 16 C below zero. Couple of more days to ring into summer. April shower. May flowers. I see couple of birds in my back garden, enjoying their walk and having chit chat. Sun is in full bloom. Smiling up and above, making our day. I am off today. Tomorrow I have to go to my work, to play Darts. My youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy has gone to school. My eldest one, the Lucky Guy left for his work. The middle one, Master Golden is in his room, sound asleep. It is already 11.45, I won't wake him up. Let him enjoy whatever he likes to do. We don't have to bother our kids. Not nice to interfere. They know what they are doing. We have to keep ourselves away. Not have to interfere with their plans, to make them miserable. Let them lead their life, the way the...

  Beautiful morning of late March. Sun is not in full bloom. Still it is not cloudy. He is peeping out of his Grey blanket. Things will change soon. Yesterday was raining but not today. It is 12.30, I am just back from my work. Playing Darts from 10 to Noon. It is nice to get out to do things you like to do. I see couple of birds on my front garden. Grass will soon be back to lush green. It is matter of days. No more snow, just some yellowish spots on the sides of my garden.  Tomorrow is Saturday. Another weekend. Time flies so are days of our life. Moments go on slipping from our hands. We rarely realize. Things wont be the same, same with our health and circumstances. Value whatever is in hand until it is gone. We never value things until we lose. Yesterday I was talking to one of my friend from senior club. She didn't want to renew her membership. She left the club last year because of couple of people's attitude. Sometimes we don't know how much damage, our behavior may...

  It is Tuesday, the last week of March. Weather is great. It looks there was never any snow storm or any such thing. My back garden is back on track. Deck is shining out of the white stuff. Same is the glass top my garden table. BBQ is out of snow, inviting us to make plans. Red wooden bench is shining on the green of my front garden. Magnolia tree on the left is ready to signal that spring is back. Just around the corner.  Things change. This is beauty of life. We have all the stages in cycle of life. Today is garbage collection day in my neighborhood. Blue Green and Grey Bins are all lined up around the driveways. Looking so beautiful. Yellow and brown truck will be here to pick these bins. I salute all the Front workers. They managed difficult days to carry on our activities, to enjoy our lives.  It is nearly over. Masks are no more mandatory in Toronto. I don't know the situation in other cities / countries. Everyone has to follow the Directives. Have to respect the ...

  It is Friday nearly end of March. Couple of days back, snow was everywhere. Driveways all coated with with white stuff. Today is total different scenario. Total change of scenery. My back garden is all set, back to be lush green. Just matter of time, my flower bed at the back, will be full of colors.  My Deck still not completely out of the white stuff. I see small white patch at the left side of my Deck. It will be melted down soon. Sun is awake, peeping out of his hazy blanket. He will make sure to change things.  I can hear birds. I think they are back from South of the Border. All set for the good days ahead, to get out, to enjoy our outdoor activities. Red wooden bench is shining on my front garden. Snow all gone, just a small white patch on the corner of my garden. I can see a clear green tinge on the body of my Magnolia tree. Skeleton trees around, also not so shaky. Everyone getting ready, to be back to life. This is beauty of life. Things change. It is 9.30, I ...

  Happy St. Patrick's Day to my Irish Friends and to all who celebrate. It is Tuesday, mid of March. Weather is like a roller coaster. It is snowing since morning. Sun hiding deep down under thick misty blanket.  Yesterday was sunny bright. I was planning to go for my walk but sometimes your plans not able to get materialized. I was hooked up with couple of in house matters.  I had to do two loads of my laundry. Change my bed sheets and towels. From yesterday, time also not the same. It is one hour ahead than before. Had to make adjustments. Kitchen is part of my daily schedule. I like to make something to put on the dinner table for my family. I believe doing things on your own and contributing in some way in the household, you live in, makes your day. It boosts up your will power. Keeps you busy, takes you to the right track, to positive direction.  Nothing is total plus. Yesterday I did all my work, I planned for the day but missed my walk. It was already evening....

  It is Friday, I have to leave at 9.30 for my work to play Darts. Before that I have to make breakfast and  lunch for  my youngest grandson, my Slurpee Boy. He has to go to school. I will make burger for his lunch, he likes that. I feel lucky to be with people around, to do things for them, to put smile on their faces and to get happiness in return.  Doesn't matter, we are living with family of our own or with our kids families or living alone.  We always have chance to find people.  People are all around, at our school, at our work place, in our neighborhood, in our Retirement homes.  Give them smile, be polite, be kind. Have patience, listen to them to share their matters, whatever they like to talk to you. Don't be inquisitive, don't try to cross your limits. Respect their privacy.  Just try to listen. Try to let go. Try to put smile on the faces around. Listening is great skill. There is big difference between listening and hearing. Listening...

  Beautiful mixed sunny cloudy morning of early March. It was just yesterday that my front garden was all green, out of the white stuff. Back garden was also looking back on track. My red garden chair was shining under the sun. There was just a thin sheet of ice on the Glass top of my steel garden table. It looked for sure that, rest of the snow will melt down soon, not will be coming back till next season. Not anymore. I can see a thick white blanket on top of the green of my front garden. My black Lexus is covered under a white sheet. My driveway looking beautiful, white and spotless. Same scenario is around in my neighborhood. It is very quiet all around. Skeleton trees standing quietly, I think waiting for what will be the next.  My daughter in Edmonton, posted me the picture of her house. Her car is nearly half embedded under snow. We people, here in Toronto, are fine, not much to tackle. Sun is awake, trying to come out of his Grey blanket. He will manage things, to make...

  Beautiful morning sunny bright. It is 8.15, I am done with my breakfast, now getting ready for my work. Have to go to library for playing Darts. I will be back after 12.15, will make peanut butter sandwich and hot chocolate for my youngest grandson, my Slurpee Boy before leaving to work. He has to go to school at 9.30. My eldest grandson, the Lucky Guy is working from home, will make stir fried egg for him too. Putting smile on the faces of your loved ones, on the faces around, is a unique experience.  Things we do for others, give us real happiness. We get inner peace out of small acts of our kindness to others. Think over, have patience to do anything to make someone's day. God provides us  opportunities, to avail His blessings out of this. These are like Calls from God Almighty for us, to come forward to help out His Creatures. Try to value these call. Do what you can, it will make your day too.  It is 9.40, I am leaving for Darts. Our Club started Carpet Bowlin...

  Beautiful morning sunny and bright. Snow around, giving glitter under the sun. March already started. Weather getting better every day. Snow still here but storms are done for now. Red wooden bench is shining, not under snow anymore. Snow melting down every day.  I can see some green spots on my front garden. Birds are back too, from South of the Border. I can hear them.  Skeleton trees around look happy, shaking their heads. Magnolia tree on the left of my garden, will be the first one to announce that Spring is just around the corner. I love it's beautiful smiling flowers.  Today is busy day for me. I have to make lunch for my youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy. He is leaving for school. I will do it before having my breakfast. My oatmeal porridge is on the stove. It will be done by the time, I will make burger for him.  It is 9.30, I am sitting in my eat in kitchen, enjoying my breakfast, my oatmeal porridge, stir fry egg and my morning cup of tea. Blinds o...
