Magnolia Tree is now Full of Life

-

 

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 will be playing with me and to which board, I have to go. It is nice. By this way people have chance to mingle around.

It is 10.30, we are done with two games. I am playing on Board number three. It is break time. Time to enjoy Coffee / Tea and goodies.

 Variety of cookies are on the kitchen counter. People can pick, what they like. Coffee pot is there, ready to fill up your cups. Hot water pot is also ready. People can put tea bags, whoever like to have tea. Milk / Cream, sugar, Tea bags and cups, are all set. People use cups, wash with soap, dry it out and put it back after. Everyone cooperates, to make the space clean and to put everything thing back in cupboards.

To make things happen, in groups, we need lots of patience, also have to respect everyone's emotions too. Everyone has his own personality. No one is perfect. We all are humans. Have to give benefit of that. Try to forgive and forget each other's shortcomings. Just enjoy your time and let others to enjoy their time too. Life is too short. Time flies. Moments go on slipping from our hands, for never to come back. Value the moments in hand. Present moment is everything, we have.

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
