Thought Of The Day

  November 28th 2023 Bright beautiful cold morning.  It is 4 C below zero, feels like 15 C below.  It is the beauty of Canada that in winter time too, sun comes out to make our days brighter. Sitting inside, it looks like summer.  We check weather before getting out, to dress up accordingly. To decide how many layers will be enough to tackle the cold. Weather plays an integral part in our life. We start sorting our coat closet, to choose the proper one for the day.  We have number of jackets, and coats from light to heavy one. For light rain, for flurries and for the real snowy days with 25 C below temperatures. We learned how to deal with Canadian cold. We just check weather, dress up properly, get out and enjoy. We humans are amazing, we manage. Adapt whatever is there to make adjustments, to make our life, to enjoy. We have power to make decisions accordingly.  I am getting better day by day. Tomorrow will be three weeks after my accident. Time is great,...

  November 25th 2023 Beautiful weather, sunny bright morning. Not so cold. This is not Canadian winter at all. I think, this is all due to global warming. So much changed, so is climate. I still remember, we got our first fan in 1993. There was no AC. We never needed that. So much snow and cold, that was Canada, years ago. Now AC is a must in summer time. It is 2C now, and it is the end of November. We will get snow after a while, not will be much, I think. Today is 25th, third week of my accident. Things are getting better day by day for me. Day before, I was in Tim Hortons, First time after weeks. Walks are still forbidden for me. I have to wait for that. I am taking my chances to get into car, for rides. My son, while dropping his son to Uni, I use to jump in, to change my scenery, to get out. We have to make use of, whatever is available. Don't have to wait. Every moment matters, to make our day. I am enjoying the Gold around in my garden. Squirrels go on gathering their things...

   November 21st 2023 Cloudy morning, rain is on the way. Last couple of weeks to go, to enter the New Year 2024. New year, new plans. Moments pass, things change. Life goes on. Change is beauty of life, so is the change of seasons. Fall time, is full of colors, full of gold. My back garden is loaded with Gold leaves. It is so refreshing, so powerful, to behold. Trees are now changing colors. We can see, all shades of red, orange, coffee and gold. Such a beauty to cherish.  It is great time to go for a walk. Not too cold, not too hot. Just get out, to enjoy, to make your day. We don't have to wait. Time flies. Things change. You never know that what will be the next. God forbid, our health not be the same with time. We have to avail whatever is there, to change our scenery. It helps to motivate our will power, helps to keep our mood swings, in balance.  I am taking a break after my car accident. We have to do things, taking into account of our health and safety, as o...

  Cloudy morning, not so cold. It is 3 C, perfect for walk. No rain, no snow. Weather is great for we Canadians. Sun is not awake, still hiding under his hazy blanket. No walks for me for now. I am taking a break after my accident. We have to make plans, taking health and safety, as our top priority. Things change. Nothing is end of the world. We can enjoy our time, staying home too. Doctor told me that, it will take a while, to be back on track. I have to be patient. Have to wait. Don't have to overdo, to deteriorate the situation.  Sometimes, we have to slow down, to smell the roses, to behold the nature around. For now, I am enjoying the view of the world outside. Blinds of my windows are drawn up. My computer is switched on, to take me to my favorite spots, to let me enjoy my time. I am browsing my Facebook messages for now, to connect with my loved ones.  Staying home is a different scenario. We have to plan our day quite differently. Kitchen is my favorite spot. I a...

Beautiful weather, great. Sunny bright morning. It is 9.30, 7 C, like a summer for we Canadians. I am still recovering from my bruises and tissues injury, due to my car accident, happened couple of days ago. I have to skip my walks and work. No playing Darts, no walks to Tim Hortons, to enjoy my small coffee and donuts. I am taking a break.  I am home enjoying, view of my garden.  Back garden is loaded with gold leaves. My friend, Black squirrel is busy with his exercises on the wooden fence of my garden. He keeps track of his body. Couple of flowers are there, brave enough, facing our November weather. It is 10.15, I am done with my breakfast, sitting now in my room. My friend, my computer is switched on. It takes me to places of my choice, to let me talk to my loved ones. Blinds of my windows are drawn up, I am all connected with the world outside.  My neighborhood is a bit quiet. No activity, just couple of cars standing on driveways, waiting for orders to move on. I a...

  Beautiful day, sunny morning, still things are not the same for me. I have to miss my walks and my office. It is Friday, the day to go to work to play Darts. I never use to miss that, not today. I am home. Had an accident on 8th of Nov, while coming back from library after Darts. My youngest grandson was driving me home. He use to do that often. We were at Whites Road, just about five minutes away from home and a white van coming from the gas station, banged.  Van flipped, our black Lexus got trashed. Air bags popped up. Police cars, ambulance, people were all around. My grandson somehow, was able to open his door. People came to him, he told them," I am fine, help my grandma. Go that side". I am so proud of him. Love him so much. I was able to get out somehow. Paramedics were insisting to take me to hospital. I don't like sitting in ambulance. My grandson told them that he will take me to hospital, afterwards. It took couple of hours with police investigations. I was f...

    November 7th 2023 It is 2 C windy, gust around 57 km. Cold, cloudy morning. It is 8.30, my eldest grandson is going for coffee to Second Cup, asking me for anything I want. So nice of him. I skip, I will have oatmeal porridge for breakfast.  I put small piece of cinnamon stick and pinch of salt. Let it boil in water for couple of minutes and take it with milk and sugar. It tastes amazing. Very refreshing. I start my day with honey drink. Put around one small tsp of honey in warm water. It is great, before to start your breakfast. It is Tuesday, I am off, no office today. My son and my daughter in law, still enjoying their vacation, will be back on Sunday. Today is garbage pick up day in our area. I have to check the garbage. Kids are here to help me out, still being the eldest, I have to oversee to manage things. Today my eldest grandson is leaving to Montreal for his business trip. I will go for my walk after he leaves for airport. His flight is at 2 pm. He will leav...

    November 4th 2023 One more month to go, to start a brand new year 2024. Today is Nov 4th, my mind took me to years back, to the day of my life. Today is my wedding anniversary. My husband is no more here, he passed away years ago so nothing to celebrate. It is just any another day of my life.  Things change, life goes on. I believe, change is the beauty of life.  It is cloudy cold morning. I am having my breakfast, sitting in my eat in kitchen. I am enjoying the view of my back garden, through patio doors. It is looking great. Gold leaves are scattered all around. Such a beauty to behold. It is a quiet atmosphere, not windy. Trees are standing still.   I can't see many flowers in the flower bed, at the back of my garden. Just couple of, are there with no smiley face.  I think, everyone is worried about, "what will be the next". Thinking about snow and sub zero temperatures. Real Canadian winter is just few weeks away. It is 9.15, I am done with my ...
