We got snow on New Year Eve

-

  

January 2nd 2024

New year is still very young, just one day older. We missed White Christmas. Snow, we got on New Year Eve. New year's day was great. Everything covered under white sheet, looking like a virgin land. Trees looked beautiful with sort of Christmas like decorations. 

Every season is unique with it's own beauty. Summer is to get out, to hit roads. To go on trails and to waters. Winter is to taste snow. To enjoy winter sports. It is time to enjoy indoors. To reflect on your inside. Time to listen your own self. To seek inner peace and to meditate. 

It is the second day. New year is still very young. People are busy, calling their loved ones, to greet, to wish New Year blessings. I am also getting calls from my family and from couple of my friends. At our age, not many friends left. Most of them gone. 

My grade five childhood friend messages me every day from Perth, Australia. She used to live in Dubai for around half a century, moved to Australia, to be with her daughter. 

In our older age, we have to make decisions taking health and safety as our priority. Not easy to manage household matters after we are retired. Our health not the same as we get older. 

We pass through various stages in our life time. From childhood our body goes on changing. Youth is our peak time. Climax. We dream big. Our health and our nerves, all set. We are ready to accept all challenges, head on. We are full of emotions, full of ambitions. 

Travelling further from youth to complete the cycle of our life. We start losing strength. We have to be realistic to make decisions. We like it or not. We need support. Have to face the reality. 

Life is like a combo with sweet and bitter moments. It is not a bed of roses. We have to walk on unpaved path. Have to travel through trails with bushes around. Try to walk, picking flowers of happiness to make your days. 

Try to spread happiness. That's the recipe to get flowers of happiness. That's is the key to live life happily.

    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...
