Thought Of The Day

Beautiful morning. Sun shining in full bloom. Some snow is still there, reminds that winter was just couple of days ago. Grass is green with some brown spaces in between. Skeleton trees are no more skeletons, look like, they are coming back to life.  My friend, the Black Squirrel is back for his exercises on the wooden fence of my back garden. Glass top of my garden table is shining, washed and clean. Same is my deck. Thanks to the rain, for the last couple of days. "Twin Towers", I mean the two tall trees on the front garden of my next door neighbor, is under renovation. I think, getting ready to lease out it's apartments. Birds already, start coming to contact. It is a good location, will be rented out soon. It is Tuesday, all are gone to work. My son is busy with his meetings and computer. I am sitting with an empty nest, thinking about the days of my grandsons school time. They used to go with me for Slurpee. especially my youngest one. Now everyone of them, is drivin

  Bright beautiful sunny morning. Every morning is like a gift, brings a full bundle of twenty four hours, for we humans and for all other Creatures. We have to welcome mornings with smile on our faces. Get ready to make use, every moment of that. T his is a gift from God.  Wipe out your slates, to take a fresh start.  Get ready to make plans to make your day. Try to spread happiness. Summer is around. Flowers and butterflies, will be coming soon. Birds are already here, enjoying their time. Snow is nearly gone, just like a silver lining, shining by the end of gardens. I am standing beside the lake, at Frenchman's Bay. Water surface is glittering under sun. Sun is shining in full bloom. Couple of birds having chit chat, walking around. It is not much crowded here. Just couple of people, walking their dogs. It is 12.15, may be more people here, earlier. I started my day a bit late. My right leg is better. Now my back is giving me problems. At our age, there is always something new c

    It is 23rd of March 2023 Days are passing quickly. Nearly quarter of the New year is about to go. Same is with our life. Moments go on slipping from our hand, for never to be back. We have to value what we have. Present moment is everything. Things change so quickly, the thick slab of ice is gone, not anymore on the glass top of my garden table. Deck is also cleared off, not much snow over there.  Lush green grass is looking beautiful on my front garden. Red wooden bench is shining, at the left side, under the Magnolia tree. Magnolia tree is getting ready for it's early budding season, to give color to my garden. Some snow is still there, at sides, like a silver lining, giving beauty to my garden. I can see flock of birds on the hazy sky. I think, they are now back from South of the Border. They know, it is time to enjoy here, time to travel back home. It is drizzling since morning. I was planning to go for my walk. Not anymore. I will find other things to get busy at home. We

  March 19th 2023 It is cold bright morning, 9 C, wind gusts 57 km /h, planning to go for my walk to enjoy my coffee and my time alone slot. I changed my mind, not safe to walk. It is too windy. We have to do things, keeping track of our health and safety. Health and safety, always priority. My son is going to "Home Depot", I will go with him. He will drop me at Coffee House, on the way back. We have to coordinate, have to make adjustments, to make our day. Try to get out, whatever slot is available, just take it. It is 11.15, I am at Home Depot. My son is busy with his own things. I am walking around, enjoying my window shopping and the plants section. It is 11.45, I am at Tim Hortons. It is quiet here. Lots of tables are empty. Couples of families with kids, are here, I think, on the way back from their Church Service. It is too early for Teenagers, they will start their day later on. Delivery service and Drive through, is very busy. I got my favorite spot, now enjoying my

  March 14th 2023 Beautiful sunny cold, windy morning. Snow is all around. It is 17 C below zero, wind gusts around 60 km/h. I was planning to go for my walk to Tim Hortons, to enjoy my coffee and my time alone slot. I think, it is too risky to walk. I don't mind cold, but it is too windy to walk. Sometimes things not in our favor. We have to keep our plan two ready, to switch. Nothing is end of the world.  I have to do one small load of my laundry. I did my bed sheets and towels laundry yesterday, so don't have to worry about that. I am done with talks to my daughters. Two of them, my youngest one from Reading and my middle one from Kent, made a group call. They talked about their school matters, to share with me. I enjoyed. You feel good when kids talk about their own matters, it looks, you are still part of your kids lives. You feel lucky. I was thinking, for couple of days about the people from my work place, nearly more than a quarter century back time period. It was great

  It is 8.30, 13 C below zero. Lots of snow all around. Thick slab of ice is still lying, on glass top of my garden able. It is not going anywhere soon. Couple of days back,  on my front garden  lots of grass was, out of the snow. Now I can't see any green. Snow is everywhere.  Last evening, we got couple of cm of more snow, on top. Now all of my garden is, under a thick white blanket. March never used to be like this, in Toronto. I think, this is all because of the climate change. No choice, just  take it, whatever is there.  Sun is trying to wake up, peeping out of his hazy blanket. Things will change.  Snow will start melting down, a bit. I know, it will take couple of days, still every step forward matters. Every step counts for a change. It is 10.15, I am in my room. My computer is switched on, to take me to the sites of my choice. I am browsing messages on my Facebook. One of my daughter, the middle one, calling me from Kent. It is nice to be connected with your loved ones, e

  March 7th 2023 Beautiful morning. Sun is shining up and above, in full bloom. It is cold, feels like 13 C below zero with gust around 60 Km. Couple of days back, there was a big snow storm. We had 30 Cm of the white stuff. Now heaps of snow is all around. Glass top of my garden table, is loaded with a thick slab of ice. March already started, I think, that's it, we won't be getting any more of snow. We are done for the year. Hope so. It is 9.30, I am sitting now in my room with my computer, going through  Facebook messages from friends and family. Today, I have to do two loads of laundry, also have to change my bed sheets. I believe family and friends, always come first. My laundry can wait.  One of my grade five childhood friend, lives with her daughter in Perth, Australia. She writes message to me every day. I make sure to answer her back, first thing in the morning. I believe old connections, old friends, are like jewels, have to be handled with care and are priority. I fe

  Beautiful morning, mixed sunny cloudy and hazy. Weather is like a roller coaster. Snow is all around. It was raining couple of days ago, so glass top of my garden table, was shining washed and clean . Now  a thick slab of ice, is back on my table top. Things change so quick. Another storm is on the way.  Weather channel predicting  twenty to thirty cm of snow.  Skeleton trees around, are standing still, waiting for what to be there, to face.  I think, that will be it. It is already March so not much to face for, we Canadians. We had enough. Birds started coming back from South of the border. I can hear them from couple of tree tops. It is Friday, I have to go to work,  to play Darts. It is 12.20, I am back, have to check my table calendar for things to do. I did my hair wash day before, so not to do today. I don't wash my hair every day. Not much left. Laundry also done. I have to make couple of calls. I love my table calendar. It reminds me for things to do. Not easy to keep tra
