Thought Of The Day

  Today is 29th, April is nearly done. One more day to go. It is 12.30, I am just back from my work, playing my Darts. Yesterday also, I was working from 1 to 3 pm, busy doing Carpet Bowling. At our age, time is running out. We have to grab and avail each and every slot, to make our day. I am not 100 %. My back giving me problems. What you expect with seventy years plus old machinery. This is life. In couple of days, I will be one more year older. I believe, age is just a number. We have to keep pushing ourselves to do things, to enjoy our time, to make our day. Of course with taking our health and safety into account. One of my friend at my Seniors club, gave me a beautiful Birthday card. So nice of her.  One of my old time friend, came back after years, to play Darts. She had stroke, was also busy with other family matters. She looked very fragile, not so strong to hit the Darts board. She was feeling low. We were trying to boost her up. We have to be for our family and friends, in t

  Tuesday, 9.15, beautiful sunny cloudy morning, 6 C, not so cold. My deck is all wet, must be raining early morning. Yesterday was also raining off and on. April is nearly done. Just couple of more days to go. Not even a week left to start planning for what to plant in our flower bed.  My son and my daughter in law will make decisions, what to plant to color our garden.  None of my business. I am done with all that. Enjoyed enough in my life. Let them enjoy. It is time for our younger generations to enjoy. It is their time. We have to take a back seat. Have to give them space, to play around, to do and enjoy with whatever they want.  Family is like a Bouquet, so is the Household, we live in. We, members have to make sure not to disturb peace and harmony around. Being elders, we have more responsibility, to track that everyone has space to enjoy his privacy. We don't have to cross our limits. Have to keep ourselves away from trespassing on other people's private territory.  Min

  Beautiful morning, sunny and bright. It is 12.30, 6 C, I am back from my work, after playing Darts. It is nice to get out, to do things of your choice, what you like. It boosts our energy level, helps to balance out our Mood Swings. We need plans, specially when we are old and retired. I take Retirement and old age, as our Golden Era. Before this period, we were busy with work and family. Raising kids and dealing with family matters, were our priority. Now we have time of our own. We can make plans to enjoy. We have now time for all that, which we were unable to do. Didn't have time  before. We can write whatever, we want to write in the pages of our story of life. Try  to make it a beautiful peace of script so that our kids can enjoy to read, after we leave.  I believe, life is the same for everyone. How we take our life, that really matters. That makes a difference. We have to live here in this world for a given time. It is all up to us. We can make it miserable out of making c

  It is Tuesday, mixed sunny cloudy morning, 8.45, 3 C, I am busy in my kitchen, making oatmeal porridge for my breakfast. Everyone gone, left for school and work. Me and my son are home. It looks like an empty nest. My son is busy with his computer, working online. I am having my breakfast, sitting in my eat in kitchen, beside my patio doors, enjoying the scenery of my back garden.  Deck is all wet, must be raining early morning. Grass is lush green, looking beautiful. My friend, the Black Squirrel having a walk in the flower bed. It looks, he is trying to find something there. I miss my other friend, the White Butterfly. She waits for flowers. It will take a while, for me to see her back.  My back is giving me problems. Couple of days back, it was real bad, specially on Saturday, I know it was my fault. I went to see my friend. Her husband died, day before. It was important to be with her, to make sure that she can count on me to share her moments of grief.  After that I went to my B

  I Wish Happy Easter to my  Dear Readers Whoever Celebrate that It is 11.30, mixed sunny cloudy morning. Light drizzle just stopped. I am standing at Frenchman's Bay beach, near the Steel Canopy area. It is mid of April, still cold, 6 C now, feeling like 4 C. I am all bundled up in coat gloves and sweater underneath.  Water in the Lake is greyish with Silver streaks here and there. Sky is painted in all shades of blue and milky white. Beautiful masterpiece of water color Sketch. Couple of birds are flying up and above. Some calling me from tree tops. I think, saying Hi to me. It is nice of them. I come here so often, I think, they recognize me and take me like a friend. Most of the trees around, standing like skeletons. Parking lot is nearly full but not many people here. It is a vast area with passages connecting to the other side of the lake and Trails across. People have many choices to pick what they like to do, where they want to go. My son goes for his long walk. I like to w

  It is Tuesday, nearly mid of April. Beautiful weather, sunny and bright. It is 11.15, I am busy with doing my laundry. Small load of my clothes, is in washer. It is 12 C, sky is clear, light blue in color, no clouds. Grass in my front garden looking beautiful, all green with just few brown spots. Magnolia tree on the left, started budding. I can see green tinge in the bodies of the skeleton trees around. Things are going to be changed, back to life. It was raining last night. April showers, May flowers. Flower bed in my back garden will be filled with flowers of my choice. It will be scenic and colorful to enjoy not for me but for birds and butterflies too. I can't wait to see my friend, the White Butterfly. Every season is unique, brings it's own beauty for we Humans to enjoy.  It is Tuesday, Garbage collection day in my neighborhood. Blue, Grey and Green Bins, all are lined up by the Driveways. Cars staying still, on driveways for orders to move. Some are hiding inside. No

  It is Friday, nice beautiful sunny morning. It is 8.15, 4 C, not below zero. I am in my kitchen, making oatmeal porridge, stir fried egg and my morning cup of tea. I see one small Brown bird standing on the Deck, in my back garden. I think, she is waiting for her friend to join, to enjoy her morning walk, to chit chat, to make her day.  I can't see my friend the Black Squirrel. I think, he is out of town. Must be enjoying his time with his friends/family. I am happy for him.  To be with your loved ones, matters a lot. It makes your moment.  It is 8.45, I am getting ready to go to my work, to play Darts. Cases are rising here in Canada. Masks are not mandatory but most of the people are going back to using Masks, while indoors. We have to be careful. Safety comes first. We have to face whatever is there and do things taking health and safety into account. Things vary from place to place, from country to country. Follow the rules, wherever you live in. It is 12.30, I am back, have

  It is Tuesday 9.15 in the morning. Mixed sunny and cloudy for now. It was raining at night. My Deck is all wet. Sun just started to be awake, peeping out of his misty blanket. Grass looking all green. Couple of birds are enjoying their morning walk in my back garden. I can't see my friend, the Black Squirrel. He must be awake all night, still in bed, I think. He is young. It is his time to enjoy. He will learn his lessons from try and error. I am busy in my kitchen, making lunch for my youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy. He is getting ready for school. I made Meat Burger for him. His favorite. Now I am making breakfast for myself and tea for my son. He is working online, busy with his computer. Family always comes first, I believe. You get inner peace to make your loved ones happy. It gives you happiness in return. What goes around comes back. So simple to enjoy a happy life. It is 10.30, I am sitting in my room beside my switched on computer. I love my computer, take it like my

  It is 8.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning. I have to go to work at 9.30, to play Darts. Have to make oatmeal porridge and stir fried egg to enjoy with my morning tea. My back garden is looking good, back to life. Grass is all beautiful, with green tinge. Black Squirrel is back, busy with his exercises on the wooden fence of my garden. Flower bed is ready to plant whatever we want. We have to pick plants to give colors of our choice.  Summer is back. It is 1 C, feel like 6 Below Zero. Not so cold for we Canadians. I see couple of birds in my front garden. I think they all are coming back from South of the Border. Red wooden bench is shining on the left. Magnolia tree looks ready to be back to full of life.  It is 9.30, I am leaving for my work. It is sort of a mixed atmosphere here, in our Recreation Room. Masks now, are not mandatory in Canada. Still some are using Masks to be on safe side, to feel comfortable. Others are not using Masks. It is everyone's personal choice. We have to
