Bus # 159 from Streathem

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 second home. Library is my work place, my office. 

My travel time is getting closer, day by day. My daughters are all excited. Me too. In the morning, I opened my table drawer, I was looking for something. I noticed small piece of paper, with my writing, I jotted down years back, when  I was in London. I was staying with one of my daughter at Croydon. She was working, leaving at 7 in the morning, coming back 4.30 after. 

I used to get my travel bus pass from the nearby shop, to plan my day. It was fun to travel. To hit the roads, to go everywhere, every day new plan. I jotted down, on of those days," Hamleys Toy store 250 years old, is one stop before Oxford Street. Bus # 159, take from Streathem." 

" Garfunkle Restaurant is at Oxford Circus, next to BHS and John Lewis, next to Mc Donald's". This was the road map of years back. So many stores are not there now, got bankrupt. 

I jot down these sort of things to compile beautiful moments of my life. Whenever you come across these note slips, you start to have a feel of the moment. These are not only paper slips, these are like flowers of happiness, gifts, you gathered, while traveling through trails of your life. Enough to put smile on your face. Enough to make your day. I take these paper notes, like my treasures. Remind me of my beautiful memories.

    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...

Nature is great

     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 ...

Have a taste of Nature

      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...
