Thought Of The Day

  June 29th 2023 Beautiful day. Great morning, nice weather. No rain and not too hot. It is 23 C. I started my day a bit late. My sleep was not good last night. Things happen. We are not robots. Anything can trigger, enough to disrupt our routine. We humans are full of emotions. Most of the time, we can not figure out and so many things keep going on, in the back of our mind. That is more than enough to distract our set schedule.  Nothing is end of the world. Not to worry about. Just go for the damage control. At the time when everyone is sleeping in your household, and the only one awake is you, in the middle of night. We feel pressure. It is but natural. Switch on computer, watch your favorite shows. Get busy with games of your choice on your computer. Don't forget to use headphones. We don't have to wake up others. Not nice to disturb everyone. I use to play Scrabbles with Robots and card games and watch shows of my choice. Try to avoid, to feel panicky and restless, because

   June 27th 2023 Raining, since early morning. Nowadays we are getting rain every day. It is 10.15, I have to check my table calendar. I think my hair wash is due. At our age, we go on losing our hair, so after shower, you can imagine. I take couple of days break for my hair wash. Anyway, today I have to do that. I will color my hair too.  I love my table calendar. It reminds me for things to do. I jot down my routine things there. It is easy. No pressure to remember. Specially for, when to change bed sheets and to do my hair wash.  It is 12.30, still raining. I will make some calls. My walk is now on hold. My younger brother lives in Whitby, with his elder daughter. He is leaving today for Chicago, to be with his younger daughter. His wife is also going with him. I will call them to wish for a safe trip and to enjoy their time over there. We have to make calls / visits, to share people's special moments. They must be happy to see their other daughter. Sharing adds up the intensit

  June 25th 2023 It is hot day. In Canada every season is intense. In winter, we have 30 C below zero. In summer, 30 plus. Today is 28 C feels like 33, it is just morning 11.15, will be warmer later on. It is Sunday. My son is at lake. My daughter in law went to her friends. Kids are sleeping, they are enjoying their weekend.  My daughters are busy with their families. They have plans for weekend. They, still called me to have a quick chit chat, just like a Hello, Hi. We have to appreciate our kids for whatever time they can get from their busy schedule for we parents. Have to hold on our complaints. Complaints are contagious, spread negativity. We wont be getting any positive outcome out of that. It will not fulfill our purpose, to bring them closer, rather it will deteriorate our existing relationships.  I believe, life is the same for everyone. It is like a combo, a mixed plate with sweet and bitter moments of our life. Life is not a bed of roses. It is like an unpaved path, like a

  June 24th 2023 It was raining since morning, just stopped. Sky looking great. So many shades of blue and grey, mixed up with milky white, are scattered, up and above, on the big canvas of the  magnificent sky. Looks like sketches in water color, all around.  Nature is amazing. What a beauty to behold. My deck is all wet,  washed and clean.  Thanks to the rain.  I am walking barefoot on my deck. Sometimes to behave like a kid, is ok. Nothing wrong with that. My eldest grandson is awake, he is in shower. He came last night from his one week business trip to Halifax. Couple of years back, he was just a baby. Now business trips. Kids grow fast. We have to be there for them, to share our moments, before they grow up and have no time for us, after.  I am in my kitchen, making scrambled eggs for him. He will enjoy that. My youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy is also awake, just came out of his room. I will make peanut sandwiches for him. I know what he wants for his breakfast.  We have to fe

  June 22nd 2023 Bright sunny hot morning, 23 C feels like 26, will be warmer later on. It is 10.15, I am in my room with my friend, computer. My daughters are at work. They won't call till 12 after, of my time in Toronto. No messages on my Facebook from my loved ones too.  Many of my friends are gone. Just couple of them are left. No one is a Facebook person. They give me calls. We talk day to day matters. Sometimes, we revive memories of our time. The time, we were together, about more than half a century ago.  One of my friend, who lives in Australia, messages me every day. She is in Sydney, visiting her son. Today will be going back to Perth, to be with her daughter. Today, I miss her message. She must be busy with her travel things. Anyway, I am getting ready for my walk. It will be warmer, hot later on. Good time to walk. It is 11.30, I am at Tim Hortons, having small tea and old fashioned glazed donut. Life is all good. I enjoyed everything, my tea, donut and my time alone s

  June 18th 2023 It is 10.30, weather is great 21 C. It will be warmer later on. I have to get ready for my walk. I will choose some light top from my closet, to feel comfortable. I am all set, walking on the side of Whites Road. On my right, is the steel grill fencing condominiums. On the left, is sort of forest area. Water is flowing by the side, in a small area.  Summer is great to walk around. You pass through all shades of green. Breeze scented, loaded with the fragrances from around. Wild flowers look great too. White Daisies, bright yellow Marigold, purple and pink, all so beautiful, giving color to the atmosphere.  Trees with no flowers, all green look great too, to observe, to behold. No two trees look the same. Every tree has it's own identity, it's own individuality, like we humans. Every season is great, with it's own beauty. I am enjoying summer for now.  It is 11.30, I am at Tim Hortons, enjoying my small tea with old style glazed donut. Tim Hortons is like my

   It is 8.15, in the morning. I am at my deck, sitting on, one of the steel, red knitted garden chairs. Having honey and hot water drink. I take it first thing in the morning before having oatmeal porridge. Garden is in full bloom. This is summer time. Grass is lush green.  I noticed, on my right, is sitting, small grey rabbit. I am surprised, how come, he didn't hear the slam of my patio door. I just came out, closing the doors behind. He is having his breakfast too. Busy, enjoying the grass of my garden. I think, all creatures become familiar, get relaxed. They need some time, to gain trust and confidence, like we humans. Red single rose is smiling in front. Couple of David Austin peach color roses looking beautiful too. Canadian pink rose plant is fully loaded with flowers. So many are there, adding color to my garden. Air is scented. Aroma of variety of flowers, is all around. My friend, the Black squirrel is busy with his exercises on the wooden fence of my garden.  I am enjo

  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

    June 11th 2023 Beautiful bright morning. Light drizzle is making atmosphere more scenic. I am walking on my deck,  barefoot,  to have a feel of rain water. It is amazing. Reminding me of my childhood period. Sometimes, we have to behave like a kid. Nothing wrong with that. My glasses are now becoming wet, foggy. I am going inside, will enjoy from there, through patio doors. It is 10. 30, I am sitting in my room. My computer is switched on. Window blinds are drawn up. I am enjoying view of the world outside. Trees are loaded with green. Red wooden bench on the left, near Magnolia tree,  is shining, washed and clean. Thanks to the rain. I am going through my Facebook messages. My childhood, grade five friend, is now in Sydney, with her son family. She lives with her daughter, in Perth. Her flight was last morning. She was asking me for prayers. Travel at our age, is not easy, very demanding. We have to sort things to take, we need just in case. Weather is not the only factor, while  

  June 8th 2023 Hazy sky, slightly smoky, may be due to wildfire in Northern Ontario, Quebec side. Not dark, still somewhat bright morning. Sun is not awake yet, hiding under his greyish blanket. I am done with my breakfast. My youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy was going to his Uni. I made peanut jam sandwich with a cup of hot chocolate milk for him, before making my own oatmeal porridge and stir fry egg. Kids and our loved ones, are always priority. I believe that. It gives you inner peace and happiness. No replacement of that. Doing things for others, are very special. Try to go for that, whenever get a chance. I take it like a signal from God Almighty, to come forward, to help out His other creatures. Go for it, to make Him happy. Take it like His assignment for yourself.  Some days, we feel up, while some days are different. We start feeling low, a bit down. That is normal. We humans are not robots. We have emotions. Things happen. We have to push ourselves, to go, to do things, t

  June 6th 2023 Great day, today. Sun is shining in full bloom, smiling from up and above. Weather is perfect, not too hot. No rain. It is 9.15, I am done with my breakfast. Having morning tea, at my deck. Enjoying the scenic view of my garden and around. Air is scented, loaded with all sort of fragrances, from the flowers around.  I see small red bird, talking to Lilac flowers, in the back garden of my next door neighbor. Two small black birds are enjoying their morning walk, on the left side. My friend, the Black squirrel is busy stretching on the wooden fence of my garden, in front. Such a perfect view to behold, to cherish. It is 10.15, I did two loads of my laundry, yesterday. My clothes, bed sheets, towels, all done, washed. Today I will wash my blanket and my comforter. I don't wash it every week, in summer time, have to do it often. I will do it today. My youngest daughter is calling me from Reading. She must be coming back from her college. She is doing one year course for

  Beautiful morning. Weather is great. So much to enjoy. You people must be tired of me, writing beautiful morning so often. I believe, we have to start our day with something positive. Morning is the face of our day. We have to welcome that. Writing is like, to ink your inner thoughts. We blot words on paper, on computer. It has to be positive. To write something positive, is to push ourselves away from negativity. To direct our own self to take the right track. Negativity is contagious, same is positivity. Thinking positive works like spreading happiness around. It dilutes pressure and fatigue, we feel from our day yo day matters. I believe, life is the same for everyone. It is like a combo of bitter and sweet events, which go on happening in our life. It all depends, how we take it. Try to make it full of happiness.  Attitude is the key. It alters your thoughts, motivates you to go forward. It helps to resolve issues, to deal with our routine matters. We learn that nothing is a big
