Pull a chair and grab a book

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 slot. Time to go home.

It is 12.40, I am walking back home. Beautiful wild flowers, on the side of the walkway, are looking great. Small golden and purple flowers are bright in colors. I don't know their names. Dark blue, White, all are smiling. Enough to make our day. 

Nature is amazing. Beauty is everywhere to behold. Trees loaded with green. Nothing there to complain about. Thank You God for keeping us able to admire all that. The beauty around. 

Company of your choice, always matters, it is great, still, try to be alone, to enjoy your own self from time to time. Try to be with you, with no distraction. Sit in your backyard. Pull your chair, grab a book / magazine and enjoy the moment. We don't have to walk around. Just open your window, go to your balcony to enjoy. Beauty is everywhere. You will find at your door steps. 

Try to look through. Observe and behold, to feel the pulse of the moment. Be alone for a while, to be with the company of your own self. Feel the moment. You will get the real joy, real happiness. You will feel calm, peace inside, deep down. That will be the moment to cherish.

  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
