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.

    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 ...

      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...
