My Trip To Edmonton

-

 

It is a mixed sunny cloudy morning. Raining since last night, still drizzling. I am enjoying. My slippers are off, I am walking barefoot, to have a feel of  water, the rain. Amazing moments to cherish. Thanks to God Almighty for keeping me mobile. To do things, I like to do. 

It is 8.45, I am going inside, to have my breakfast. My Porridge will be done by now. I put it before. It was on low flame, to make sure not to make a mess, and to clean it off, after. That is not easy, takes time. Anyway porridge is done. Now going to fry egg and make my tea, also for my son. 

All set on my eat in dining table. I am having my breakfast, sitting beside patio doors, enjoying the scenic view of my garden. Everything looking great after having morning shower. Red and Yellow flowers adding up beauty of the atmosphere. Purple flowers are smiling in two white Planters, by the side of my Deck. Lawn is lush green, thanks to the rain.

My day to travel, is getting closer. Not even a week left. I will be in Edmonton, next week, sitting with my daughter. I haven't seen her for long. It is time to be there, to enjoy mother daughter time. She is my eldest one, after my son. I will enjoy time with my grandson too. He is in third year of Uni. Big boy now. He is looking forward to see me too. 

I have to sort out things, for what to pack. Yesterday, I took my suitcase out of my closet. Everything was on my bed, looked, will take long to clear all that, before night. It was not that long.

We have to short list things, to streamline the process. I checked out the clothes, not required, and put it in the smaller red suitcase, one size bigger than my trolley. I took it from the basement, from the cupboard under stairs. That helped me a lot. Next step was to dump the things, I might carry with me, in my black suitcase, to sort that after. Winter clothes, I put all that in trolley, to check out later. I have to check Edmonton weather, to decide, what I will need there, to take with me. 

My bed was clear in no time, no pressure, to sort things right away. I already dumped things to carry, in my suitcase. Now, have to sort out things from my suitcase. I also have to check my medicines. I don't take many but while going on trips, we have to keep in mind, we might need that, just in case. We have to be all prepared. No surprises, to spoil our holidays, our trip. Proceed with peace of mind, to get every bit from the trip, you planned.

    I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. Thanks to your blog, the customers are now understanding that I was posting all the blogs but sometimes you were busy and not writing blogs.

    The priest asked people to start serving free food to customers, like veggie omelette, milkshake, etc. I think this is priest's trick to shut down Smile Corner because If everyone eat free food then who will buy food from me, and how will I pay mortgage and pay for my things.

      SWN was fun too. In our case, participants still were talking about Smile's blog from the week. They love it as reading about her daughter's vacation is so relaxing. She has an art to write well

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees read your blog with amazement today. The retirees are amazed that you are close to all your daughters.. Many retirees are not that close to their family members. One retiree pointed out that this is because of your accommodating nature. She pointed out that you are so accommodating that you even dont condemn your son, despite all his past antics

    Some temple people came today. They have been coming here since you wrote the letter asking for cameras and other equipment to be removed from their temple. As usual they say loud chants like Yeah Elli and La Hoooma. The restaurant manager does not like this because it creates a very loud atmosphere in the restaurant.They also share food, eg one person will buy large coffee then he will share with 4 other people.

    The Indians have been banned to come to the readings. This is because you appeared to be upset with them in your letter . The Indians have asked for forgiveness and requested reconsideration of the decision but we have told them that they have to wait for your confirmation before any next steps are to be discussed

    The subcommittee in joint family living is continuing to have issues and challenges as the no. of retirees with having in-law problems is increasing. They have asked me to request you for your kind consideration to this request

    thank you
    recent retiree

    Dear Author,

    There were very few students today as we read your blog. All the past students have started looking for jobs as per your advice. The Dean and Prof George were there of course and after reading of the blog, they were pleased that the students are not going to be wasting their years.

    Many of us are having a really hard time with our parents. They think we are 2 year olds and try to keep an eye on us. We are adults and not kids. We dont know when they will understand that. We know that the lucky guy, Master Golden and Slurpee boy dont have this problem but for us, its a big deal

    Thank you
    Literature Fellow

    This blog was very helpful in my meeting today. We were talking about engineering new process and the blog reminded us that we have to take into account the processes from our box ie in the past

Bird are busy picknicking

    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 ...

Have a taste of Nature

      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...
