Thought Of The Day

  It is October 31st, two more months to go and the year 2023 will be done, will be history. It is 2 C, cold morning. I just woke up at 9.10, started my day late. My son and my daughter in law, planned to enjoy their vacation. They had to leave at 4.45, early morning for their 8.15 flight. I woke up, to see them off.  It is good to share special moments of other people, specially of your loved ones. They feel good, it will enhance their happiness. We will feel good too. What goes around, comes back. I was not able to sleep after 4.30. I switched on my TV, started watching Sports Channel. I don't watch News. So much is going on, around the world. We are not part of, to make things better for anyone. I feel bad, it is better to skip watching News. It is 5.30, my daughters started calling me from Kent, Reading and Grimsby. They were making a group call. My son also joined from the airport. He had time for his flight to take off. We were just having chit chat, to enjoy time. After...

  October 27th 2023 Great weather sunny and bright. Beautiful morning. It is 8.30, 15 C.  It is Friday. I am working today. Have to go to library to play Darts from 10 to 12 Noon. I take library as my work place. We have to do such things to feel good. Looks like I am not retired. Still working.  Try to stay positive. It is the best thing to handle your day to day matters. It boosts our will power. Helps to manage our mood swing. I am getting ready to go. We have to plan things to make our day. It is 1.15, I am in my kitchen making banana shake for my son and for my youngest grandson, he is just back from his Uni. My daughter in law, also wants. I will make for her and for myself too.  We never have to forget our own self, to give treats. It helps our body to keep going, to coordinate with our day plans. Mind and Body, are like two in one. Body feels good, Mind will never go to the wrong track. The track of negativity.  It is 2.30, I am in my room busy with my c...

  Beautiful day. Great morning. It is 10.30, 11 C, not so windy, gusts around 35 km. Perfect for getting out, to go for a walk. I am debating between going to Tim Hortons or going to Metro side.  My grandson, the middle one, Master Golden, is just awake, I will go to Metro to get Pizza buns for him. I checked the chocolate bag, in my room. Just couples of chocolates are there. There has to be a fresh lot, to fill it up.  Things are now decided. Nothing to debate. I am getting ready to go to Metro and Dollarama store, to get bakery stuff and chocolates. I think, God helped me out, giving signals to sort out my plans. Giving me homework, to be done.  I don't have to worry about, where to go. It is decided. Nothing to do, is the worst option. We have our set schedules, while we are at work or at our school time. At our age, after retirement, we have to think to get busy with things, to fill out our day slots. Things to do for our family, is one of the great option. It b...

  October 21st 2023 Beautiful day, a bit cold and windy. Mixed sunny and cloudy morning. No rain, no snow, enough to get out, to make your day. We have to use, whatever is available. Don't have to wait.  We never know, what will be the next. Days are passing, moments go on slipping. Same are days of our life and our age. Our health may not be the same. Enjoy with what you have.  It is 11.30, I am getting ready for my walk. Today, planning to go to Metro, to get some bakery stuff for my grand kids. They like Pizza buns and Croissant from there. Metro bakery is good.  I will go to Dollarama store too, to get some chocolates for them. I keep it in my room. They come to grab what they like. I get mix brands, of their choice. KitKat, Smarties, Aero and some other types, like black and white chocolates. I am at Metro, got bakery things, getting some strawberries too. It looks fresh. I will make shake for kids. It is good to put smile on the faces around. I am done with my ...

    October 17th 2023 Weather looking great, nice. Temperature not below zero. It is 6 C. I am not working today. My Tuesdays are off. I have other plans to fill my day slots. We always have to keep our plan B ready to switch, to make our day. It is 8. 45, I am sitting in my eat in kitchen,  having my breakfast also enjoying the view of my back garden. October is about to end. Grass is still green.  Flowers are there too but I can't see any smile on their faces. Atmosphere looks a bit quiet. It is like wait and see situation. I think, everyone is now looking at, the days ahead. Canadian winter is so close. It will be anytime soon. It is 9.30, I am in my room, my computer is switched on, ready to take me to the places of my choice. Ready to connect me to my loved ones, my friends and family. I love my computer, my great friend.  I am going through Facebook messages. My daughters are at work. They call me after 12.30, my time in Toronto. They are five hours ahead ...

  October 14th 2023 Cold morning, a bit cloudy. Winter is just around the corner, will be here anytime soon. It is 11 C, feels like 8 C. Weather Channel in Canada, displays two figures. One the current temperature, the other one, what it feels like.  It is 10.45, I am getting ready to get out, for a walk. It is not, what we like. We have to push ourselves, specially when, we have no company. Have to walk alone. It needs lots of efforts, to get going, to count your steps.  We have to keep in mind, doing nothing is no option. We start getting lethargic. Negative thoughts start polluting our mind. We start feeling bitter. Taking things into negative.  Our life starts getting affected. Mind and body are related, like two in one. One is off, the other one gets impacted. We start feeling low, energy and will power, all going to dip down. It might lead, to deteriorate our physical health. Mental condition too, will not be in good shape.  Try to get busy, change your sc...

  October 10th 2023 It is 8.30, cold morning 6 C. It is nearly mid October, how long we be away from Canadian winter. I think, it is already late. Just have to face whatever is there.  I am sitting in my eat in kitchen, having my breakfast, oatmeal porridge and my morning tea. Not having stir fried egg today. I skip eggs, some days. We have to watch at our age. Have to be careful with what to eat. Deck is all wet. Must be raining early morning. Grass is green. Flowers are not in good mood, not smiling. They look a bit shaky, must be thinking about the time ahead. Real Canadian winter is not far. Trees around also look a bit nervous, not in a mood. It is 9.30, I am in my room, beside my computer, checking the day time temperature. It will be in single digit for couple of hours. I have to decide for my walk.  I have to make couple of calls. It is too early for that. We have to keep in mind that the person, we are calling, must be in good shape, to talk. Not too early, not t...

  October 7th 2023 Weather is like a roller coaster. Just couple of days ago, it was hot, feel like 25 C. I was debating for what to wear to go for my walk. Today, it is 13 C. I am searching my coat closet, trying to find my jacket for my walk. I am done with my breakfast. My son is planning to go for a drive to watch fall colors. It is 10. 15, I am getting ready to go with him. We have to avail opportunities, to get out, to make our day. My daughter in law is on a trip, enjoying her time. Kids are sleeping. They must be awake till late night, enjoying their weekend.  It is 10.30, I am at Colonel Danforth park. It is great here, scenic. Colors are all mixed up with green vegetations. All sort of plants, high trees, shrubs, wild flowers are also adding up beauty. Atmosphere is loaded with variety of aroma around. Air is all scented with natural fragrance.   By the side of walkway, is small body of water, flowing all along. Trees are mixed, of variety of ages. Some ver...

Grass by the side of walkway, is lush green. Morning dew is sparkl...
