I was at Christmas Lunch

  16th December 2022

Yesterday was very busy day for me. There was Christmas Lunch arranged by our Senior Club for we members. It was very festive atmosphere. Nice decorations. Good food. There was winter storm advisory. Weather was challenging. Rain and Hails, still, we had house full at our Club event. 

They ordered separate lunch boxes from Swiss Chalet for everyone. So much there in each box. Not easy to finish. We had our choices for what to eat, to order before hand. I preferred vegie pie, on top was Baked potato, delicious dinner roll and variety of sauces. Cheese and all sort of Crackers. Desert was also there, variety of cakes and Pies.

I just had a bit of Veggie pie, cheese and and couple of crackers. How much can I have, at my age, not much. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Who cares about food at our age. I left early, so much to enjoy after. So many activities, Music, Lucky Draw, were all scheduled. I didn't wait for all that, messaged my son, to let him know that I am done. Why to wait for Desert and Activities. 

I stayed there from 12 to 1 pm. I enjoyed, met my friends. So many of our Senior members stay home. They come, sometimes for Club Meetings and sometimes for such parties. I had a chance to see my old friends. That was more than enough for me, to make my day. My son works from home. He must be busy with his meetings and work. I have to keep that in mind. We don't have to put extra pressure on our kids. They already try to do whatever they can. We have to appreciate all that.

At 1pm, weather was vey tricky, Freezing rain and Hails, added up the pressure, so much to handle for we Canadians. I walked to my car, carefully, slow and bend down, to keep my glasses safe. I made it. I feel lucky, always there, something to do, to get busy. I don't have Slots to fill in. No empty spots to deal with, to worry about. Lucky me.

It is Friday, 1.45, I am at Costco. I am done with my Darts, it was from 10 to 12. My son has appointment for one of his cars at Costco. He picked me up from my work, after Darts. I packed some snacks in the morning, for my day. One small banana, one cheese triangle and three crackers, enough for my lunch. I am walking around, while he is busy with groceries and his car things. I enjoy to be at Flower section. It is so beautiful, so refreshing, enough to make my day.

It is 2.15, I am in food court, sitting on one of the small red benches, beside white small table, writing my Blog and waiting for my son, to be done, to go home. Life is Good.

    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 ...

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...
