   September 29th 2023 Beautiful sunny morning, weather is great. Couple of more days before Canadian winter makes it's entry. It is time to get out, to enjoy. We have to push ourselves to do things to make our day. Life is the same for everyone. It is sort of a mixed plate, like a Combo. Mixed with sweet and bitter moments. It is not a bed of roses. Life is like a trail, an unpaved path.  We have to find our way, walking through the bushes around.  We have to pick flowers of happiness from where ever, we can.  Try to make other people's day, put smile on the faces around. You will get happiness in return. What goes around, comes back. Keep that in mind.  No one will come  to make our day. It happens in stories. Not in real world. We are the music makers. We have to make our day. Yesterday was very busy day for me. Our club arranged Buffet for we members, in Mandarin restaurant. I try to get out for every thing available, to enjoy my time. We have to avail all chances, we get f

  September 26th 2023 It's a bit colder today, 11 C, will be warmer later on. It is 8.15, my youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy is getting ready for his Uni. I have to make peanut butter sandwiches and hot chocolate milk for him. He will be leaving soon. I will have my breakfast after. I am off on Tuesdays. Don't have to go to work, to play Darts. I have other plans to make my day. We have to find things to get busy, to fill slots of our day schedule. Leave no space, to let enter negative thoughts. There is some leakage problem in one of the bathrooms, in our house. Worker is scheduled to come today. No one will be home. All gone to work and school. My son also has to go to attend some in person meetings. I will be home, will mange the working. My son will be relaxed.  We have to pitch in. Have to contribute in some way, to the household, we live in. It helps to streamline peace and harmony in the house. At our age, we feel elevated too. It gives us confidence and controls our

  September 23rd 2023 Beautiful sunny, cold morning. It is 8.30, I am busy in my kitchen, making oatmeal porridge and stir fried egg for my breakfast. Great scenic view of my back garden. I can see from patio doors of my eat in kitchen. Couple of Pink Canadian roses are smiling. Flower bed is loaded with white, pink and yellow seasonal flowers. Brick red and white planters are full of white and purple flowers. Couple of flower pots are lined up, by the side of my deck. Grass is lush green. This is end of September. Few weeks to go and there will be a complete change in scenery. Canadian winter is just around the corner, about to give it's entry any time soon. Few more days to get out,  to go for walks, to enjoy outdoors. It is 9.30, I am at lake. It is Rotary Frenchman's Bay park area. Weather is great. Sun is all awake, shining in full bloom. Water on my left is deep blue in color. On my right side, water is sparkling like gold and silver. Amazing. My son is saying, couple of

September 19th 2023 It is 8.15 in the morning. Bright sunny day, looks breezy. Trees around are shaking their heads. I am in my kitchen making scrambled eggs for my eldest grandson. He is about to leave soon for his work.  I will make peanut butter sandwich and hot chocolate milk for my youngest grandson too, for my Slurpee Boy. He is getting ready for his Uni. Time flies, I still remember, he was just a kid, in school, loved to get Slurpee, cookies and all such things. Not anymore. Now he is watching his diet, avoids cookies and fries. Still loves Slurpee, takes once a while.  We have to value our kids. Have to spend time with them. They grow fast, wont be needing us after, anymore. They will be busy with their own things, own activities. No time for parents and we grandparents will not even be in their dictionary. Try to spread happiness, do things to make their day. It will come back to you. You will make your day in turn. What goes around, comes back. I do these thing, I mean makin

Air is loaded with aroma

  September 16th 2023 Beautiful sunny cool morning. It is 8.30, I am done with my breakfast. Enjoying morning tea, sitting on one of red knitted garden chairs, on my deck. It is such a beautiful scenic view to behold. Grass is lush green. Single pink Canadian rose is giving me smile. Flower bed at the back and on side, is loaded with seasonal dark pink flowers. Two brick red planters full of purple and white flowers, are lined up, at the side of deck.  Two white planters on top, by the side of garden fence, are full of  purple flowers. Air is all scented, loaded with aroma of the flowers and plants around. I am enjoying every bit of it. September is about to be done. Winter is just around the corner. It is 11 C, after couple of days, we have to dig out our coat closet. Have to sort out, what to wear, to tackle our Canadian cold. Couple of more months to go, this year will also be gone, will be history.  This is life. Time flies. Moments keep on slipping from our hands. We hardly ever b

    September 12th 2023 It was raining since morning, it just stopped.  Beautiful day now, bright and sunny. Everything looking great after having morning shower. Plants around, look happy. Grass lush green. Flowers are smiling, enjoying the weather.  I am planning to go for my walk. Have to go to my doctor for my six monthly Vitamin D injection. Doctor office is 15 minutes of my walk. I take time. I have my appointment at 1.45. My grandson the middle one, Master Golden is ready to drive me there. Rain is now stopped, I will be fine, I will walk. Weather is great. I don't want to miss to enjoy. I will make my day. I was in kitchen, making banana strawberry shake for my son and for myself. Now in my room with my computer. Blinds of my windows, are drawn up. I am all connected with the world outside.  It is Tuesday, our garbage pickup day. Blue, and green bins are all lined up on driveways. Pick up truck will be here anytime soon. Looks quiet around, in my neighborhood. Not much acti

  September 9th 2023 It is just couple of days, back from my trip to England and it looks that I never been away. My suitcase is all empty, in the basement. Things in cupboard. Everything back on track. I started going back to my work, to play Darts. All set, back to normal routine. For couple of days, it was hot, here in Toronto, 39 C. Today slightly cool, will be 23 C in the afternoon. It is morning, 7.15, 15 C, overcast, hazy sky. It is weekend, everyone sleeping. I am awake, in my room, busy with my computer.  Yesterday was a busy day for me. In the morning, I went to library, to play Darts. I was back after 12.15, made banana smoothie for my son and for my youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy. He likes that. I made for my own self too. Never forget to make yourself happy. It will help your mood swings. Boost your will power. You will feel great. I was was busy in kitchen, for sometimes. I made stir fried veggie dish and fried rice, to put on the dinner table for my family.  My after

Back from London, in Toronto

  September 4th 2023 Dear Readers, I got your comments after months. It is 7.30 morning hot day, Weather Channel showing, feel like 40 C, in the afternoon. I think this is the last week of summer here in Toronto. I am sitting in my back garden, came last night from London. Now back to normal routine.  Trip to England is done. It was great, to be with your kids and grand kids, is always great. Days were hectic, still, I enjoyed every bit of it. Flight was good, it was tiring, around seven hours. My dear no pain no gain. Nothing is one sided. Today is my first day in Toronto. Home is home. I feel relaxed. Travel time is like, you are in transit. You don't take everything out. Most of the things, you have to search in your suitcase. Now I will set things, where it belong.  I will take everything out from suitcase, from cupboards, also from my other suitcase, where I dumped things, not to take with me. Everything on my bed, to be sorted out to put at right place. It will take time. Lau

  September 1st 2023 It is early morning 6.30, I am awake, in my room, thinking about, it is time to go. My trip to England, to the land of my daughters, is nearly done. Just one more day. Sunday is my flight to Canada.  I am at my youngest daughter's place in Reading. It looks quiet in the house. I think everyone is sleeping or may be awake, still in bed. I am enjoying view from my window. Sky is overcast, road in front is all wet. I think, must be raining early in the morning. Lone pigeon is sitting on top of garage roof, is here to give me company.  Pink and peach color roses on the side of hedges, are smiling. I think, enjoying the morning view. Back garden must also be looking great. All colors of flowers around, lush green grass in the middle. It must be a scenic view to behold. I have to go downstairs to enjoy all that. Mornings are great with it's own beauty. My daughter has plans to enjoy time with me. Today she will take me to her college. She is done with her one yea
