Feel like lucky Mom

22nd August 2023

Bright sunny beautiful morning, 20 C right now. It is 9.30, I am enjoying my breakfast, sitting in the small eat in kitchen at my daughter's place. It is at the right side of her kitchen. Small round table, three steel silver chairs with round wooden base, around.

I am enjoying view of the garden, through large glass panels. Garden is small, not as big as we have in Canada, still very beautiful. Two Blackish red roses are smiling in a large flower pot. Beautiful small plants, in flower bed, at the side, are loaded with deep orange color flowers, so eye catching. 

In England, land is not much, like in America and Canada, so things, I mean houses are sort of compact. Very different landscape. Every land is unique, has it's own identity, it's own beauty. Palm trees, at the right of the garden, looking great. Bonsai trees are, beside the back wall of the garden. All looks picture perfect. My daughter cares very much, works hard to maintain her garden. 

Grimsby is a small city. It has just one Mall, "Freshney". Next to mall, is small train station with overhead bridge and three platforms. Station is not at walking distance from my daughter's place. It is my favorite spot, very quite place. I like to go there, to enjoy my quite time.

yesterday my daughter dropped me at the station, while going to pick her glasses from  Freshney. I enjoyed my time there, sitting on one of the steel silver benches. Very few people were there. Train from platform No. 2, was leaving at that time. It was around three in the afternoon.

Cleethorpes is a tourist spot with sandy beach, very close to Grimsby, just at ten minutes drive. Me and my daughter used to enjoy there, of and on. Not for long, just for ten fifteen minutes, whenever she has time in between her busy schedule. We parents have to realize that our kids are busy with work and family of their own. We don't have to expect much. Not good to put them under pressure.

I am enjoying my time, going with daughter for groceries, dropping her son to gym, picking him up. Sitting next to her, while she drives for all sort of things, working on her day to day matters, I feel like a lucky Mom. Moments to cherish later on, when I will be back in Canada. I can open up my memory box to enjoy, to make my day.

    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...
