Snow glittering like Silver

-

 


January 23rd 2024

Beautiful day. Bright and sunny. It is 2 C below zero. Snow all around, is glittering under the sun, looking like Silver and Platinum. Such a scenic view to behold, to cherish. 

I am off today, not working. I don't go to work on Tuesdays. It is garbage pick up day in our neighborhood. Blue, green and grey, all sorts of bins are lined up by the side of driveways. Ready to be picked up. 

Grey one is the garbage bin, picked up every other week, not every week. The other two bins, blue and green are for paper, bottles and kitchen things, for perishable items, picked up on weekly basis. 

It is a big exercise for households, to put the right things in the right bin. Confusing too, to remember. Things go wrong, not be picked up, will be left behind. I don't know, if this is helping our climate issue anyway. 

Looks nothing working out to deal with our climate change. I think, we are late to start these things. Anyway, it is never too late. Let's hope for the good. Stay positive. 

It is 10.30, my son is busy with his meetings, working online. My eldest grandson is also working online for a change. He mostly goes in person to work, never happy for that. He strongly believes that, going to work in person, is an old working style. 

He believes that working online is more productive. Cuts down office expenditures. Working space, electricity and all other overheads. For employees, no commuting, providing more working hours to offices / businesses. 

My youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy, is in 3rd year of Uni. He mostly stays home, taking his classes online. So much is changed for our younger generation, after COVID. We now, have a  different outlook of our working and our day to day life. 

My grandkids, I notice, order food to have at home. Going to restaurants, looks, something of past era. We at our age, also rarely go to restaurants. We order to get take away, to enjoy at home. COVID has changed so much for everyone.

It is 11.30, I am getting ready to walk, to my second home, Tim Hortons. It is not too bad to walk. Snow is around, I will be having my jogger shoes, that will help me to walk. I will be safe. Health and safety is always our priority, still sitting home, doing nothing is never a good option. 

Change is always good. Change of scenery, change of place. Do whatever you can to make a change in your day to day life. My grandson is going to get coffee. He offered, to drive me to the Coffee House. I think, I will walk. It will be good to top up my steps. We have to push our body to listen to us. 

It is 12.15, I am at Tim Hortons. I am happy, decided to get out, to get some fresh air, to enjoy my coffee and my time alone slot. Life is all good.

    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...
