Thought Of The Day

  Bright beautiful morning. Nice day. Weather is great. It is 9.30, I am done with my breakfast, sitting in my room. My computer is switched on. I am browsing messages on my Facebook from family and friends. Not many friends left, just couple of. All gone.  My friend, who used to live in London downtown, now living with her daughter in Netherland. It was tough for her to manage things by herself. She is not a computer person. Same is my other friend, who lives in Markham, twenty minutes from my place, Pickering. We use to call each other to keep our connections alive. I get messages only from one of my friend, who lives with her daughter, in Perth, Australia. She used to write me every day. Nothing special. Just to chit chat, writing her day to day activities. It is lucky to have someone of your age, to talk to. They can relate, what we talk. She is not well for couple of days,  had Covid. Yesterday I went to see one of my friend. She now lives back home, moved to be with...

  It is Friday, I am working part time today, will go to play Darts from 10 to 12. Have to leave after 9.30. It is is eight in the morning. Light drizzle looking great. My back garden looks beautiful. Plants and Flowers smiling, look fresh after morning shower. It is wonderful, nice and scenic.  No car on my driveway. My son is at Court House for his Jury Duty. My Eldest Grandson is at work. My middle one also started working at Nuclear Power Plant. He got great offer. Have to start at five in the morning. He is happy. I think when your heart is into it. It doesn't bother you at all. It is 8.45, I am done with my breakfast, now getting ready to go. My friend will be picking me up. So nice of her. Library is not far, it is at ten minutes driving distance. Twenty minutes to walk. For me, will take more than half an hour to walk there. No straight bus, have to take two buses and also have to coordinate with the timings. It is 8.40, my friend's Red SUV van, will be here any time. ...

  Weather is great, beautiful morning sunny and bright. It is 7 C right now. I am done with my breakfast, sitting at my Deck, enjoying my morning cup of tea.  I am sitting on my old favorite fiber knitted chair. This is the only one left out of four. Red garden chair, om my left, is looking great. My son got that from Canadian Tire, last year. Grass is lush green. My Friend the Black Squirrel is not here. May be still in bed. At this age kids have their own schedule. Sleeping late at night, getting up late in the morning. It is their time to enjoy life. Scarlet Red, Rose pink and Deep Blue Hydrangea flowers looking beautiful in the flower bed, at the back of my back garden. M y son planted all these, last evening. Some are still here, he will do that when have time. Nowadays he is busy with his Jury Duty. He has to go from 9 am to 5 pm, for six weeks. He was selected last week for that. Eleven more are there. Total twelve. No one was keen to do that. He was into it. He likes m...

  Thanks to everyone of you my Friends, my Dear Readers, for sharing my Grief  I got comments from you people yesterday late night. I don't get  comments so often. Dear Friends in Ireland, I am sad to know that Smile Corner has been closed for such a long time. Please open Smile Corner right away. I am not happy with Priest. He never leaves any chance to misguide, to trick you people. God wont be happy. It is sad. Just a stray thought came to my mind that if some day I will die, will be no more here, to write to open the Cafe. You people will close it for ever. I will be sad, watching from up and above. Please don't do that. Thinking about Death, is not a negative thought. Everyone has to leave. This is reality. W e have to make full use of our life and try celebrate the days, we are here.  Life is a Gift from God Almighty.  I appreciate your gestures, your sincerity, to share my sentiments. Time to move on. From time to time we have to fill up our lives with co...

  Beautiful day sunny and bright, it is 8.30 in the morning. I am working today, have to go to play Darts at 9.30, will be back after 12. For now, I am in my kitchen, making my breakfast, oatmeal porridge and stir fried egg, to enjoy with my morning cup of tea.  It is brand new day, another bulk of twenty four hours, to use, to enjoy, to do what you want. God is Great. He keeps on putting fresh amount of time, for His Creatures to cash. Never asks about, what we did with the last instalment, where we spent.  We have to feel lucky, while getting up from our bed, to start our day. One more life, one more opportunity, to reschedule our life style. To do something good, something positive for ourselves and for the people around. We have to take every morning like a new start, a new beginning. Wipe out, what is done yesterday. Don't have to look back. Focus on the moments in hand, to utilize fully. To make use of. No more complaints, no more regrets. We can make things happen ...

  She died in Denver, America. Her daughter lives there. My sister was in bad shape so her daughter brought her at her place. She was in lots of pain. We don't like to lose any of our loved ones. Not easy to accept that he / she will be no more there but I think God knows better. He did what was good for her. We don't know for sure. I still remember couple of lines from my Grade ten poetry book. "Men may come and men may go but I go for ever". This was about River, talking to we, Humans. It is true. People go on leaving the stage, the world. World is like a theatre. We are like characters, performing our act, allocated to us from the Higher up, God Almighty. We have to leave after our part is done. We never think about, keep on forgetting that we are here for a given time. Our life is short, not have to be wasted in petty issues. Try to spread happiness, Try to put smile on the faces around. That should be our Motto of life. Live and let others to live their own lives...

  Beautiful morning, sunny and bright. Weather is great. It is 8.30, 12 C, I am getting ready for my work to play Darts. My eldest grandson, the Lucky Guy and the middle one, Master Golden, left for work. He started working too. My youngest one, the Slurpee Boy leaving for school. No cars on my Driveway. I called one of my friend. She is coming at 9.30 to pick me up. So nice of her. My son is looking for one more car, to buy. He is busy with work.  I know it will take time. No   time to search around. For now, I have my friends to take me to work. I am good.  One of our family friend's wife died this morning. The husband is of about my son's age. His wife was very young, just in her late twenties, she got stroke since that time , half of her body was paralyzed. She lived like that for twenty years, never complained. Very positive. She was a fighter. For couple of days, she was on life support, died this morning.  I was thinking, these are the real problems, peop...

  Beautiful morning, bright and sunny. It is 10 C right now. I am done with my breakfast, enjoying my morning cup of tea, walking on my Deck. Couple of birds calling me from tree tops. I think, saying Hi to me. So nice of them. Grass is lush green. Trees around, are loaded with green stuff. Flower bed looks inviting, to fill it up with colors, to plant something, anything to add up the beauty around.  Every season is unique with it's own beauty.  Summer is the time of flowers. Time to get out, to make plans, to enjoy outdoors. We Canadians know, it wont stay long. Just a brief span of couple of months. We have to make use of it, in full.  It is 10.15, I am sitting in my room. My computer is switched on, taking me to the places of my choice, to let me enjoy my own time. It is my friend, no doubt about that. My window blinds are drawn up, to let me connect with the world outside.  Magnolia tree is full of life, full of flowers, bursting with glee. Red wooden bench...

  It is Friday 9.30 in the morning. I am all set to go to my work, to play Darts. For now I am walking on my driveway, waiting for my son, also enjoying the  scenic view around. My son is about to come any time soon, to drive me to my work place, to my library. Red wooden bench is looking great. On the left side of my garden, Magnolia tree is loaded with buds and flowers, looks full of life. Skeleton trees around, are no more skeletons. All are full of green stuff, back to life. May just started, not even a week passed, still so much has changed. Weather is great, 10 C. Time of winter coats and jackets are done. It is time to get out, to enjoy outdoors. My son is here, opening the door of black Lexus. My eldest grandson likes to take the other car, white Infinity SUV, to his work. It is 9.45, I am at my work. It looks a full house here. I think, we need three boards, to play. I see lots of people. Eighteen in total. We pick numbers to make teams, so will know after, that who w...

  May already started. It is the month of flowers, month to enjoy to get out to give colors to your lives. Yesterday was my Birthday. I am now one more year down the drain. Time flies. We have to enjoy and make use of each and every moment of our life. To enjoy our life, we have to make sure not to bother anyone else. Plan all of your enjoyments, keeping in mind, not to disturb others.  It is not good to be a liability to others. Why our friends, our family members and our loved ones have to suffer, out of our enjoyments. Do whatever we can without making them miserable to pay for all that. Payment is not only in the form of  money. It can be in the form of time too, which will be more annoying for the person, we want to be hooked up with, to enjoy our time, especially in our old age period.  When we are facing difficulty to handle our life due to our health, not so mobile, to carry on things on our own. We start behaving that our family members have to be there to d...

  Dear Readers, I got Comments after long time.  I am not happy after reading your comments. No one listens, always talking about my son, giving him bad names. Family is everything for me. It hurts. I keep on writing in my Blogs, try to explain that aging is no one's fault. We don't have to blame anyone for that.  Old age is just one of the stages of cycle of life. Take it with grace. Enjoy with what you can do, you are able to do, taking health and safety into account. Our health never remains the same. We start losing our strength, our muscles. Our nerves also are not the same. We have to be realistic to deal with all that. It doesn't mean that we start feeling low and depressed. We enjoyed our health for so long. Now, is time to make some other plans to cope with our age. I take old age as our Golden Era. We have all the time for our own self. We never had that before. We were busy with our work and family. Now we are done with all that. Time now to start creating our ...
