Gifts are Souvenirs, like Relics

February 3rd 2024

Beautiful morning bright and sunny. Not below Zero temperature. Today, I started my day a bit late. My body was not listening to me. It was not her fault. Last night my sleep was not good, she must be tired. I won't blame her.

I go to bed at around 12, midnight. That is my routine. Last night, after having some sleep, I woke up at 1.45, wide awake. At that time, we have no option, instead of tossing on bed, waiting for back to sleep. Just try to get busy with anything to distract yourself. 

I think, sleep is like butterfly. The more we try to catch, it will keep on running away. Just relax, stay calm, it will come back to you. To calm yourself down, you have to distract yourself. 

Get busy with anything. I sit down with my computer. It is like my friend, always there for me. Give yourself some time and sleep will come back to you. You don't have to run after.

I have couple of invitations today, lucky me. Two of my friends invited me in the afternoon. They live nearby. One invitation is for dinner tonight, it is twenty minutes away. 

It is 10.30, I am done with my breakfast. Weather is great, I have to get ready for my walk. Enough time for the afternoon invitations. Why to waste time, sitting down beside computer, watching shows, playing scrabble and card games. I can do that, some other time. 

I am ready to go. My fawn color sweater, I got for my Mom, years back, is now with me, after she is gone. I am wearing that underneath my black winter coat. Red woolen stole, my Senior club friend knitted for me, is my favorite. I am having that beside my flowery silk scarf. My daughter in law got me that scarf, from Egypt, while coming back from her holiday trip. Gifts are like souvenirs, like relics. 

I am all set for my walk. Beautiful view around, to behold. Looks like, Skeleton trees are trying to get back to life. Squirrels are walking around, enjoying their time, some having chit chat with friends. 

It is 11.15, I am at Tim Hortons. It is like my second home to enjoy my time. I am enjoying my time alone slot. My small coffee with three fourth of hot water, three creams and one sugar. Now I will start writing my Blog. Writing blog for me, is like talking to my readers. 

It is a festive atmosphere at Coffee House. People are sitting with company of their choice, enjoying their time. Drive through is also very busy.

I am glad, made a right decision, to get out. To enjoy outdoors. Sometimes we have to give credit to our own self. Nothing wrong with that. Everyone keeps on pointing finger at you. We don't have to point at ourselves. We deserve credit sometimes. It elevates our will power, helps out mood swings. Try to do that once a while. Trust me, you will feel 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...
