Reading, England

March 23rd 2024

Beautiful bright sunny morning. I am in England, in the land of my daughters. Three of my daughters live here. I came yesterday, Friday afternoon. Air Canada landed at 11.10, me and my son were in Reading, at 12 30, at my youngest daughter's place. Reading is not far from Heathrow Airport.

It is Saturday morning, I am sitting in the eat in kitchen area, enjoying my oatmeal porridge and stir fried egg. My daughter had everything ready for me to enjoy. 

I am having my morning tea in her back garden. Garden is looking great. Tree loaded with Pink Camila. Daffodils are smiling in the green pot at one corner. Grass is all cut neat and green. Pots lined up at the right side, on the raised semi circle platform. All shades of green, I can find here in her garden. Gardening needs lots of work. She loves that and takes good care of her garden.

It is 12.30, I am in car with my daughter, my son is also with me. We are done with grocery, now going to pick my grandson. He is my daughter's eldest son, lives in Kennington, works in downtown London. He will be at Farnborough station. Station is 15 minutes from Camberley, the meat shop area. It will be great to be with family around. I feel lucky. 

It was sunny and bright before. Hails and shower, now just started. That is the beauty of England, you can not predict. You have to be prepared for anything. It looks amazing, complete change of scenery. Ground looks white, all carpeted with hails, all over. I am enjoying time with my family and the scenery around. Life is all 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...

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...
