Try to enjoy some quiet time

May 30th 2023

Beautiful morning, great weather. It is 8.15, 16 C right now. I am outside, on my deck, sitting on one of the red knitted steel chairs. Enjoying oatmeal porridge and my morning cup of tea. Summer is short at our place, in Canada. We have to avail every moment of it, to enjoy our time. 

Summer is time to get out, to hit roads, trails and water. Do whatever you can, taking health and safety into account. Sometimes we don't have to go, to far places. Grab a seat, to enjoy your quiet time. Just sit in your garden / balcony, to sit quietly, to be in the moment. You will feel great.

I use to do that, specially in evening time. Days are longer nowadays. We have to find opportunities, to enjoy it fully. Sitting quietly, enjoying the Nature around, is amazing. It gives you inner peace. It is sort of meditation. 

Sometimes, we have to take some time off. Don't have to think about others. Don't have to evaluate our own inner self. Just relax, to be with the moments in hand. That is a unique experience to cherish. 

2nd May is my date of birth. My grand kids were away with their Mom, to Houston for couple of weeks, at that time. Me and my son were home. He took some time off from his work, to take me to "Halibut House" for lunch, to celebrate my birthday. Fish and chips are great over there.

Last night, whole family arranged a surprise dinner for my belated birthday. At our age, birthdays don't mean anything. It is just a number to count, still to have dinner with your loved ones around, celebrating your day. You start feeling special. You have a feeling that they are not sick of you. They still love you, at your age. You feel lucky. Thank You God for everything. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Love You.

  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
