I am at Coffee House

 May 23rd 2023

Beautiful morning, nice weather. It was long weekend. Monday was a close holiday. My niece, my sister's daughter came to stay with me, on Sunday. She came with my younger brother and his wife. We had BBQ, enjoyed together. My late brother-in law's daughter came too with her husband and son. They were also there, to enjoy.

It is good to be with your loved ones, to enjoy the rare moments. Not every day, we get such opportunities. Nice to be connected. Everyone is different. We get a chance to know them, while spending some time. In gatherings, everyone talks in his/her own style. Their opinions and ideas may be conflicting with your ideas.

We learn to be patient, to listen to everyone. It is a unique time to enjoy together and a learning opportunity, to improve our listening talent. Listening is a great skill. Years ago, I was going through a small book on the topic of "Listening". 

I was surprised, to know that our job, specially the first one, depends, 60 % on our listening ability. I think, the author was right. Listening exhibits our level of patience and tolerance. Our capability to be able to connect with people. To get along and work in group. That is a rare talent.

Everyone left after enjoying the BBQ, at around 9 pm. My niece stayed, to spend one more day at our place. She opted to sleep in my room. There was enough space for another mattress, beside my bed. She was happy to be with me, to spend some time with her aunt.

On Monday, she walked with me to Tim Hortons, to enjoy coffee together. We had pictures, enjoyed our time. She sent pictures to her Mom. My sister must be happy, to see her daughter with me. I am happy too.

It is great, to impart your family bindings, to transfer to the next generation. Needs lots of patience and love, to gain their trust and confidence.

    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...
