Moments to Recall to Cherish

-



 25th September 2022

It is raining since early morning. Cloudy hazy sky. Everything looking great after morning shower. Beautiful view in my back garden. Rain drops keep showering at my deck. Sitting in my TV room, I am enjoying all that, through big glass panels in front. News Channel is on, showing Hurricane Fiona devastation in provinces of Quebec and Newfoundland. Houses washed away, evacuation is underway. Damage must be huge, to be estimated after. Search is underway for people, if any missing. 

Global warming is a big problem, causing such havoc around the world. Many parts are in a mess, facing adverse situations. It is hard everywhere to deal with. We have to think about, how to cut down pollution. May be it is never too late to be mended. Let's see.

I am all set after coming back from my trip. It is not even a week. I am back to work, playing Darts and Carpet Bowling. My right leg still giving me problem. It is my age. Nothing to complain. I am handling that. We have to get busy with things we like to do. Have to push ourselves taking health and safety into account. My Mom used to say, "Try not to let your problems overpower your body". I think she was right.

My wall cabinet is all set. It was a mess. I emptied my suitcase to take with me for my trip and dumped things here. Yesterday I took everything out, spread on my bed, sorted out dresses to hang inside my cupboard and to put back into my suitcase. Now all set. I feel relieved. It looks, I have never been away, out of my home sweet home.

When I look back, I still recall the scenic beauty of Rocky Mountains, lakes, fountains, Canyons and of course the beautiful moments spent at Edmonton, with my daughter. We came across some odd moments too. Our car ran out of gas, phone was also not working. Me and my son, sort of trapped in between Jasper and Banff. It was middle of nowhere. 

Luckily there were couple of workers busy with roadwork at one side of the road. One of them directed us to go to the nearest parking lot, so that we might get some gas from someone. They had Diesel. 

Five minutes away was a small parking lot, some cars were there but no one was there. One garbage collector came by chance. He told us that people park cars and get busy with skiing and mount climbing. They wont be back soon. He called from his cell phone for road assistance. He was our savior.

We waited in the middle of nowhere. Mountains all around. CAA people came after two hours, we got gas for our car to go further, to continue our journey. We came to know that, it was the longest highway in Canada with no gas station. Things happen. Nothing is end of the world. No pain no gain. It is part of package.

    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...
