I am still in the Rink

-

 

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 boosts our will power. We feel elevated. It gives a great feeling, like we are still in the 'Rink', not retired anymore. 

It keeps our mind and body in order, helps to controls our mood swings. Try to pitch in, to contribute. Do things for the household, you live in. It will be good for your health and mental well being. It will help to streamline harmony in the family, will spread happiness in the household.

  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
