My Friend Black Squirrel still in Bed

-

 


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. My 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 mystery and all such types of Shows / Movies. 

My back started giving me problems. It was real bad in the morning, much better now. Thanks to my Heating Pad and Hand Massager. Still not 100%. It will take a while, will be fine. Not to worry about. It is my age. What you expect with seventy plus old machinery. 

Yesterday our family friend invited us for BBQ dinner. I went there to enjoy my time. We have to avail any chance available to get out, to change the scenery, to make our day. It was good. Food is not so important. Atmosphere is everything, that matters. 

It is 11.15, I am sitting my room. No one home. It is an empty nest. Everyone is at work and school. My son is at Court House for his Jury Duty. 

My daughter, the middle one called me from Grimbsy. She was going home, back from work. It is already afternoon at her place. Her son not well, having fever. He has his GCSC exam tomorrow. She was worried for him. It reminded me of my time. When I was at her age. Family used to be everything.

Every stage of our cycle of life, is unique with it's own priorities. It's own obligations. Time flies. Kids grow up fast to fly away, leaving the nest empty. We have to value each and every moment. Moments go on slipping away, never to come back.

I am in my kitchen making banana strawberry smoothie. My son not here so making for myself only. I will make cup of tea, to enjoy later. I can see couple of birds enjoying their time, having chit chat, walking around in my back garden. It is a scenic view to enjoy, to cherish.

    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...
