Try to be on the driving seat

 February 24th 2024

It is 10. 45, sunny bright, cold morning, 18 C below zero. It was just on Thursday, we were sweating, while playing Carpet Bowling. Weather is like a roller coaster. My eldest daughter in Edmonton, was enjoying yesterday with 10 C, today it is 25 C below zero over there. I think, this cold spell will last just for few days, not long. So much is changed due to global warming. Let's see.

Today, I started my day a bit late. I couldn't sleep well last night. Some nights are not good, we can't handle well. We are not Robots. Our body acts differently from time to time. It takes it's own turn. There are lots of factors, to affect our mind and body. Our feelings, our thoughts, our surroundings, the atmosphere, the people around. Everything matters. 

Most of the time, we can not figure out that what is going wrong, why our mind directing our body to switch from the usual routine, and orders to go in other direction. 

I think, our subconscious is the key. It controls everything, our mind and our body too. We are just puppets, acting accordingly to the command. Our thoughts deep down, control all that. Our actions, our routine habits, go on changing. We have to tackle all that. 

It is 12.30, my daughter from Kent, is calling. It is great, to take time for her mom even, on weekend. I know, with family of their own, kids don't have time. They must be busy with other things. It is only weekend for them. Weekdays, they will be working. We have to appreciate for whatever time, they are able to give to us.

At our age, we and our kids, are not at the same wave length. We have to keep that in mind. We have to admire and have to give credit for the time, they are with us, even on telephone line. We love to hear from them, enough to make our day. 

It is 1.30, I am getting ready for my walk. I will go to Tim Hortons, to enjoy my coffee and my time alone slot. We don't have to wait for calls and company, have to make our own day. Try to be on driving seat, take control in your hand, to plan your day.

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
