I am taking breaks to smell roses

February 17th 2024

It is a cold morning, snow all around. There was a snow storm couple of days ago, on 16th. It started at 1.30, I was at the library. Our club arranged valentine's lunch for we seniors. My friend surprised me with a pack of tasty, strawberry filled chocolates. So nice of her. 

She is a real friend of mine, gives me ride on Mondays. She knows, I have car problem on some days. My daughter in law goes to work, in person, on couple of days, I get stuck at that time. 

Snow storm started on 16th, it continued till yesterday. Nothing stops for we Canadians. We learned how to tackle all that. Yesterday was my working day. I was there on time. Couple of people from our group were also there. We were eleven, made four teams, played Darts game on two carpets, enjoyed our time.

Today, it is a beautiful day, sunny bright and cold, feels like 17 C below zero. It is beauty of Canada that sun keeps on shining up and above, most of the time, to make our days brighter. 

It is 9.45, I am at lake. My son has gone for his long walk. I am enjoying my own time, my own moments. I like to take breaks, to smell roses, on the way. To focus on the spots, to behold. We are not running a marathon. Why to hurry, just relax. Take your time to enjoy your moments.

I think, at our age, we have a different criteria of life. My son is young, at his age, outlook on life, is different. Our thoughts and ideas keep on changing. We act differently at every stage of our life, also every person is unique, has his own personality, behaves differently. Nothing wrong with that. 

I am enjoying at lake side. Water is looking great, at one side, displaying all shades of blue, while at the other side, it is sparkling like silver. Amazing. Not many people here. Just couple of them are walking with their dogs. I think, it is weekend, people take time to start their day. I am done here, now going home. Have a great day my friends. Talk to you later.

    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...

Nature is great

     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 ...

Have a taste of Nature

      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...
