Time for Gifts and Chocolates

Dear Readers

Merry Christmas

to all my friends, who celebrate

It is a cold cloudy morning. Sun is hiding under hazy blankets. Not in a mood to come out. I think, we are heading towards a white Christmas. Let's see.

It is Friday, my working day, to go to play Darts. We start our games at 10, it has to be done by 12 noon. It is 10.30, we are at our break time. Tea, Coffee and all sorts of cookies are set at  kitchen counter, to enjoy our time. 

It is a festive atmosphere. We will be off for a week so everyone wishing for Christmas time. Some are exchanging cards with close friends. Some giving chocolates. 

It is 12.30, I am home, busy in kitchen, making shakes and snacks for my son and for my youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy. It is great to put smile on the faces around. We feel good. Try to spread happiness. You will get happiness in return. What goes around, comes back. So simple. Great recipe to live your life happily.

It is 1.15, I am in my room. My computer is beside me, switched on. I am going through my Facebook messages, also enjoying the view outside, through my windows. 

Trees around, are mostly like skeleton, standing still, must be thinking about the time ahead. It looks, snow will be any time soon. Grass is still green. Thanks to the rain for the last couple of days.

My neighborhood looks a bit quiet. Not much activity there. My next door neighbor is at my door, he must be with Christmas goodies. We exchange gifts and chocolates. It is great to be with good neighbors. No day to day issues. Life become easy.

  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
