Sentiments matter not Pricey Gifts

February 13th 2024

I just woke up, today starting my day a bit late. We Humans are not robots. Our bodies take their own turn, do what they like. It is snowing right now. Weather looks like a roller coaster. It is Tuesday, I don't have to go to work. I usually go for my walks, when I am off from work. Let's see how weather goes. For now, going downstairs to kitchen, to make oatmeal porridge for my breakfast. 

It is 10.30, my daughters calling me from Kent, Grimsby and Reading. They call me during day time. They have one week school break. In England, they don't have two months long holidays, like here in Canada. They have short breaks after every six weeks. I think, that is a good idea. Students have time to refresh, must be feeling energetic to focus on studies. 

My daughter, the eldest one calls me at night. She is in Edmonton, two hours behind the time in Toronto. She is not in school, works online, has her own day routine. I am done with talking to my daughters. They have couple of days off, so many tasks are waiting to be done this week. Malls and Markets are open till 6 pm, over there. It is already afternoon for them. 

They were in hurry. One has to go for her glasses. The other, my youngest one, was going to get small gifts to surprise her kids. Her kids are working, one is married too. I think, there is no age limit and price for gifts. We only value sentiments. 

My daughter has done her teaching degree, got job for that recently. Her kids were very supportive throughout, the time of her studies. She wants to surprise them, sort of acknowledgement for their love and for being so considerate. I think, it is a good idea.

Acknowledgements are must, to propagate relationships. Don't have to get pricey things. Your gesture of love and to be thankful, matters only.  

It is 11.30, I am ready to go. Snow just stopped. Sun is shining up and above, to make our day brighter. Thank you my friend, to be there, not only for we humans, for all the Creatures big and small. Thank you.

    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...
