Yesterday I was at Service Ontario

It is a mixed sunny cloudy day, 8.30 in the morning, 23 C, will be 33, later in the afternoon. I think, this is the last leg of hot days of our Canadian summer. Our weather channel is predicting couple of rainy days, starting from tonight. Let's see. Sometimes, they are 100 % right.

It is weekend, one of my friend invited me and couple of her friends to have lunch together. One of my friend lives close by, she picked me up. We went to Markham, twenty minutes away from our place, Pickering. I don't drive, still it is never an issue for me. By the Grace of God, someone is always there to pick me up, to take me to the places, I want to go.

My daughter, the middle one, visiting me from Grimsby, England, is at Belville, for couple of days, to be with her in laws. She will be back on 25th, her flight is on 27th of August. For now, she is posting pictures of her activities, to keep me connected, I am enjoying that. 

She also tries to give me calls, whenever, gets a chance. It is brief, not a chit chat. No time for that. We have to go with the flow. Have to make our day with whatever is available. Moments go on slipping, for never to be back. Try to enjoy the moments in hand. 

Yesterday I was at 'Service Ontario'. My youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy had to go there for his Health Card renewal. My son was driving him, I availed the chance to get out, to change my scenery. There was a big line up. I was enjoying my walk outside. After a while, I went in, to check the situation. 

I noticed a lady with a small bag and tubes. From time to time, she was going to her car. I talked to her. I was surprised to know that she was suffering from Bladder cancer, had to go to her car to empty the urine from her bag. She was there to renew her driving license. 

She told me that everyone's days are numbered. Everyone has to go, she wants to enjoy her time. I really, was highly impressed. She was well dressed with a pleasant personality, may be in her early sixties. What a person, she was, full of courage, strength and positive thinking, like an iron lady. May God  help her out, to fulfill all her dreams. Ameen.

    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...
