Time to Detox to Cleanse

-



July 9th 2023

Beautiful morning. No rain, not too hot. Perfect for walk. It is Sunday, my last weekend in Toronto. Saturday is my flight. Next Sunday, I will be in London at Reading, my daughter's place, with my grand kids. I will see them after around two years. My daughter is excited, chalked out many plans for the time, I will be there.

I will start my journey from Reading, after that, shunting between Kent and Grimsby and finally again to Reading, to finish my journey in England and to take off for my home to Toronto. Reading is closer to Heathrow, about half an hour away.

My six weeks travel period will be over by the first week of September. Anyway, for now I have to focus on other things. Packing related matters are priority. I got some travel pack stuff from Walmart, yesterday, like Shampoo, Conditioner, Cream, etc.

I have to do my laundry too, before my trip. Don't have to leave dirty clothes lying there till September. Monday and Thursday will be my work days. I don't want to miss that. I will see what to do and when. For now I am getting ready for my walk. Other things can wait. Still time, around a week, not so urgent. 

I have to sort out my Shows, to download on phone, to watch on the way, at plane. It is seven plus hours flight. I have to plan for that. I will take my Sudoku and Find the words books. That will be a good idea, to get myself busy.

I have to pack some of the medicines in my hand carry for just in case. I have already a complete packing things list on my computer so nothing to worry about. That will not be any problem. Hope so.

It is 1140, I am walking by the Whites Road. It is busy, so much traffic, doesn't look like weekend. Beautiful flowers, purple, yellow, white and orange, all are around, giving me smile. Couple of birds calling from tree tops. Probably saying Hi to me. I feel lucky. 

It is 12.10, I am at Tim Hortons. Coffee House looks a bit quiet. Not many people here. Take away is busy. Just couple of people of my age are sitting in small groups, enjoying their time. 

I am sitting by a single small table, enjoying small tea and my time alone slot. I believe, "Time alone", is worth to enjoy. Quiet time is great. No distraction. All your thoughts on hold for a while. I think this is a period, to detox, to cleanse. Good for our mind and body. Try that.

  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
