Skeleton Trees are back to Life

21st April 2023

Beautiful day, great morning, 13 C, like summer for we Canadians. It is 11. 45, I am getting ready for my walk. No gloves, no woolen stole, just wearing my light jacket and underneath my favorite maroon sweater. This sweater, I got from my sister in law, years ago, while she was back from her trip from England. She got for me from Marks Spencer, my favorite store.

You buy things of your choice from your pocket, all the times. still gifts are special, not the same. Reminds you of your loved ones, who try to keep you in their thoughts. You start feeling that you are special. Someone is thinking about you. 

I am all set for my walk. Today I will go to Tim Hortons. Day before, I walked to "Dollarama" and "Metro", got chocolates and bakery stuff for my grand kids and for myself. We always have to remember our own self. Try to give treat to feel good. 

It boosts your attitude, elevates your mood. Helps us to get ready to tackle things to make our day. Any treat can do that. Go buy tea / coffee for yourself. Go shopping, even to get groceries of your choice, can make a difference. Water your plants. Anything you like to do for yourself. No pressure. Just anything.

Today, I am going to Tim Hortons, to the other direction of Metro, to change the scenery for myself. Try to find things to add up joy and excitement, to make your day in a better way.

We have to plan beforehand, how to make full use of our twenty four hours. This is a beautiful gift from God Almighty, we get every morning. Value it, be happy and enjoy that. Don't wait for the next time. Try to do whatever you can keeping track of your health and safety. 

Things change quickly. Future, we don't know. God forbid, our health might not be the same. Things can happen any time, at any age. Past is done. We can not change. Present moment is everything. 

I am walking by the Whites Road. It is a beautiful view around. Skeleton trees are back to life. Birds are enjoying their walk, having chit chats. I think, couple of them saying Hi to me too. So nice of them. They are already back from the South. 

It is 12.45, I am at Tim Hortons, enjoying my time alone slot, my small coffee with three creams, one sugar. I asked them to mix three fourth of hot water into one fourth of my coffee. It is perfect for me. I am not a coffee person and also at our age, we have to make adjustments with our diets too. Just try to be realistic.

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
