Red Roses are Smiling

July 2nd 2023

Bright morning, hot and humid. Rain is on the way. It is 9.15, I am at my deck, sitting on one of the red knitted steel chairs. Humid atmosphere. Scenic view. Pink Canadian Roses are smiling in front, in the flower bed, at the back. 

Two white planters, at the side, are loaded with purple flowers. Grass is lush green. Everything s so perfect, to behold, to make your day. It is 10.15, I am done with my breakfast and some calls. My son is going for his haircut. I will go with him to walk outside, around. No Frills, store is just nearby, I will get bread and Peanut butter cookies for my grandson, the Slurpee Boy. He will like that.

On the way back my son has to go to Home Depot store, to get garden soil. It is 11.30, he is inside the store. I am walking in the Garden area outside. All colors and variety of flowers and plants, are all around. I am enjoying the beauty and the view. Life is all good.

Suddenly, my mind diverted to the call of one of my friend. She was talking about one of her family member. Her Mom is having a very rare problem. She is going through, "Personality Disorder". I never heard of it. 

Couple of years back, I watched Alfred Hitchcock's movie Psycho. That's it. Otherwise, I have no idea of that issue. Never thought that, it is very challenging for the entire family. It is very difficult to control that person. 

My friend told me that, Psychologist advised to put her into a mental hospital. Not easy to put your loved one into that hospital. It is very emotional situation.

I started thinking, we go on complaining about weather, about getting bored, nothing to do, getting old, losing hair, this and that. We never think about so many other issues of life. One of my friend is going through Dementia. These are real issues. Not the ones, we complain all the times.

It is 12.30, I am at Tim Hortons, having small tea and old fashioned donut, thinking about all that. We have to feel lucky. Be thankful to God for what we have, instead of complaining all the times. Thank You God for keeping me mobile, to do things on my own. Thank You God. Love You.

    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 ...

      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...
