One Step at a Time

-



 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 a while, my daughters left the group, one by one. They were busy with other things to do. My son had to go to Gates for departure. I was back, to Sport channel. At 7.30, I was feeling sleepy, went to bed to take some rest. Got up at 9.10, now busy, having my breakfast. 

It is very quiet at home. My eldest grandson, the Lucky Guy, is at work. The middle one, Master Golden and the youngest, Slurpee Boy, both are sleeping. The middle one was back from airport, dropping his parents, at 7 after, must be awake for long, at night.. 

I have long day to fill up my day slots. My body is not listening, not good sleep, must be tired. I have to give her some time, to revive. I am not pushing. We have to be considerate. I am keeping myself busy, watching some shows. 

It is 11.30, enough is enough. Have to push my body to get going. I have to put my clothes in washer after that I will start getting ready to go. Today I am planning to go to "Fresh co", to get some cookies. 

I  will get the chocolate ones for kids and tea biscuits for myself. I will also get few vegetables, to cook for myself. Kids won't have it, they don't like. They are happy with chicken and beef. 

I am ready, bundled up in layers to tackle the cold. It is 3 C. I take two bags for groceries, to balance weight. "Fresh co' store is bit far. I will stop at Tim Hortons, to take break, enjoy my coffee and donut, after that, will proceedTOne  to Fresh co. We have to manage, to ease out our work load. Don't have to overdo. Divide to take one step at a time.

    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...

     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 ...

      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...
