Enjoyed Pot Luck at Our Club

-



 Beautiful Day. Nice morning, sunny and bright. I am done with my breakfast, have to go to my work, at nine after. It is 8.15, lots of time to get ready. For now, I am enjoying my morning tea at my deck, sitting on one of the knitted chairs, my son recently got from the Home Depot. I am enjoying the scenery and the cool breeze around. Flowers, in the flower bed at the back, giving me smile to make my day. 

It is 8.30, time to go to my room, to be with my computer, to browse my Facebook messages, after that, I will be getting ready to go to work, to play Darts. I will be back at 12.30. 

Yesterday my club organized Pot luck for we seniors. Not everyone participated. I was there. I try to go, whenever I can, to make my day. Some people cooked to bring dishes of their choice from home. Some pitched money. It was five dollars per person. Idea to plan events, has to be enjoyment, not to feel a burden, contributing heavy amount. Many people preferred to contribute money to get food from outside. I did that too.

We had lunch and enjoyed playing "Price is Right" and "Trivia" sort of games after. It started raining with hails, in between our program. We, sitting inside library building, enjoyed that, through the big glass panels of the room. Rain stopped after twenty minutes or so. Our lunch was at 12.30, we left at four. 

There were small gift prizes, to give color to the event. Many people got something. I got Small pink garden basket, filled with chocolates, one  colorful bird with yellow bell Chime and one small beautifully painted stone, to put in my garden. I was happy, gave chocolates to my grand kids and the garden stuff to my son and my daughter in law, to put wherever they want to.

    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...

     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...
