On Road To Hinton

-



It is Thursday, 8th of September. Edmonton weather is tricky.  I went to "Winners" nice clothing store, my daughter wanted to get things for me and my son. My son got nice Jeans, as she was insisting to have any gift. I didn't want to get anything. I already have enough. At our age, we don't have to store much. 

Sky was clear blue, before we entered the store, afterward, it was raining, not heavy, still, not like a drizzle. We enjoyed the beautiful Rainbow, went to have dinner together. It was platter, with Chicken, Kebabs and Fish. We came home to have tea and to take some time off. We went, afterwards, to a nearby grocery store, 'Loblaws" to get snacks for our trip. We were planning to leave today in the morning, for "Jasper", a scenic place, four hours drive from my daughter's house in Edmonton. 

Things sometimes wont go according to your plans. We have to make adjustments. Keep your plan "B" ready to switch. Jasper is not recommended as wildfire is going on for couple of days, over there. We have to skip that for now. Our room is already booked in hotel, at "Hinton", near Jasper. We have couple of more bookings for our trip, on the way to "Banff", and "Ice Field". We have plans to go to some other places too, depending on my condition. 

My right leg is giving me lot problems. Things are up and down for me. Every day, a different scenario. Things start happening at our age. Nothing wrong with that. No complaints. I am good, handling things. We have to push ourselves, taking health and safety into account. Not good, to skip activities, we love, we enjoy, and take refuge in our room for the rest of our days. That will take us away from thinking positive. 

Ultimately, we will go down to depression. That will be disaster. We have to take every step, to avoid all that. Push yourself to get busy with "Things To Do". Keep smiling. Have patience. Try to stay out of other people's personal matters. Respect everyone's privacy. You will get inner peace out of that.

It is 10.45, in Edmonton, my son has gone to pick up rental car, I will take shower by the time, he will be back, I will be ready to get out, to roam around the city, to see places, the city, the downtown. We, me and my son will be leaving in the afternoon, to "Hinton", will stay in the hotel for overnight, will see, in the morning, how are things to proceed to "Jasper", otherwise go further, to Ice Field. Let's see. For now, have to focus on one thing at a time. That's the recipe to stay relaxed and enjoy the moments in hand.


Dear Readers, I am leaving tonight, will be on roads, not sure, have internet connections to write my Blogs. Hope you will understand, my Friends. Try to to write, whenever I can. Please don't be mad at me. Thanks. See you later.

    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...
