Thought Of The Day

  May 28th 2024 Beautiful morning. Not so hot. It is 17 C, rain just stopped. Everything around in my garden, looks great after morning shower. Small brown rabbit is in my garden, in one of the flower beds. He is looking for something, I think checking for his breakfast.  I see three beautiful violet flowers on Clematis plant. It is pitching up the beauty of my back garden. My son planted some seasonal flowers seed, in the other flower bed at the right. We are still waiting for anything to come up.  Tuesdays are not my working days. I keep ready my other plans to get busy. I take,"To get busy" as a key to flourish and maintain the well being of our mind and body.  Getting idle, doing nothing takes you away from the right track. The track of positivity. I have no laundry to do today. My eldest daughter is here with her husband from Edmonton. They are staying at my place to spend couple of days with me. That keeps me busy in kitchen. It is amazing to do ...

    25th May 2024 It is a mixed sunny cloudy morning. Rain just stopped. Great view to behold, to enjoy the scenery. My deck is all washed and clean. Grass is looking beautiful, lush green. Trees are all loaded with leaves. I am still waiting for flowers to bloom in my garden.  My front garden is all green. No flowers. Red and Yellow Tulips, lined up, by my front door, are all gone. Magnolia flowers were also gone long time ago.  Red, pink and orange Peonies, are giving me smile from my next door neighbor's garden. Red flowers are looking great on the garden of the house, across. I am enjoying all that.  My eldest daughter and her husband are here, at my place. They came last night from Edmonton, will stay for about a week.  I am enjoying their company, busy making dishes for them. Last night, I made ground beef with spinach and tomatoes. We mothers like to do things for our kids, to put smile on their faces. This is, how we make our day. We do...

  May 21st 2024 It is Tuesday, hot 24 C feels like 28 C. I am off today, not have to go to play Darts. I have other plans to get busy to make my day. We always have plan 'B' ready, so not to stuck with doing nothing.  Doing nothing, sitting idle is never a good idea. It leads to negative thoughts. We start feeling low, lonely. God forbid, it starts affecting our health and ultimately might ends up in depression.  We have to make plans beforehand. It helps to stay in day tight compartment. We won't be having any space left open in our day schedule to enter negative thoughts. I have my plans for today all set. No worries. It is 9.15, I am having my breakfast. I use to stay for a while outside to have a seat on my deck. I take one spoon of honey in warm water early morning before having my breakfast. I take my honey drink, sitting over there, on deck.  Mornings are great to stay outdoor. It boosts up your energy level, elevates your mood. Couple of birds a...

    Beautiful bright sunny day. It is around noon, 11.54, I am at Tim Horton. I am just back from lake. It was a different spot of Petticoat Creek, was looking great. Lots of people were there. Some busy cycling, some doing picnic with friends and families. Some walking with dogs, some busy with fishing. So many different views for me to enjoy.  There are two overhead bridges over there. One for trains and the other one, over at one side of the lake, for people to walk. I enjoy walking on bridge. Couple of trains were passing at that time, on the bridge. One was local, green and white, it goes through city, connecting different areas, city and Suburbs.  The other train was,"Via", it goes to US. I traveled many times using this train service, while my youngest sister was alive. She used to live in Chicago. She is no more now. This train reminds me of her,  whenever I see "Via", I start thinking about the old beautiful golden moments. At the border, ...

    May 14th 2024 It is a mixed cloudy sunny morning. It was raining early morning, just stopped. Deck is all washed and clean. Rain drops are scattered all over the lush green grass, looking like pearls. Trees are now back to life. Brick red and white planters are all set by the side of deck, waiting for flowers to bloom. Red and yellow Tulip are smiling by the side of my front door. It looks like a festive atmosphere. Magnolia tree is loaded with green, not many flowers there. Most of them are gone. They start their cycle early, don't wait for others to join. They are the first one, to announce, to ring the bell that spring is coming, make plans and get ready. When others taking time to revive, they start flowering to make our days. Don't mind to be alone, to handle the weather. I think when there is will, there is always a way. I started my day early today. I have not much to do at home. I did my laundry on weekend. My daughters called me from Kent, Grimsby an...

    May 11th 2024 Sunny, bright beautiful morning. Summer is not around the corner. It is already here in full bloom. We don't need jackets to get out. Amazing. Time to hit roads, trails and waters. It is 10.30, I am at lake, Petticoat Creek. Water is sparkling like silver. It is not quiet, making beautiful soft and musical sounds. So eye catching scenic view to behold and enjoy. My son has gone for his long walk. I am walking by the side of lake. A baby bird is walking beside me. She is walking fast. It is tough for me to compete with her at my age. She is young.  She has gone far, looked back at me and flown away. She must be smiling at me. She is the winner. I am happy for her. It is the era of next generation. Our time is already done. Nothing wrong to accept that. This is life. It is 11.30, I am done at the lake. My son is going to Costco. I planned to go to Tim Horton, on the way. I changed my mind, will go to Costco to enjoy company of my son. We have t...

    May 7th 2024 Beautiful morning. Sun is shining in full bloom. Smiling from up and above. Weather is great, 15 C. I have to do some other things at home. Have to do laundry and make some calls. I will do that later. Have to postpone all that. First thing first. I have to go for my walk to enjoy. We have to avail and try to make use, to make our day. Don't have to wait. I am getting ready to go. It is 11.15, 18 C. I think, don't need any jacket. Things change so quickly, same with weather. Time flies. Moments go on slipping form our hand. Same is our health, our age. Nothing is permanent, not for ever. Value all that, whatever is today.  My Uni friend is calling me. I will call her back later. We did our Masters together, more than half a century ago, from the same Uni. She lives in Markham. I don't drive, neither she. We make calls to connect, to chit chat, to keep our friendship stable.  We are from the same era, so many things are common to talk ab...

  May 4th 2024 I am one year older. One more year gone down to drain. My birthday was on May 2nd, two days back. I take age like  numbers. You don't have to count. Try to do whatever you can till you are mobile. Do things on your own. We never know, what will be the next.  God forbid, anything can happen at any age. Value your time and your health. Especially your health. That is priority. Try to enjoy. Celebrate with whatever is available. Don't have to wait.  Future, we don't know. Past is done. You can not turn the page to rewrite, to do it again. Try to forget whatever is done. Present is everything to be focused on. My family celebrated my birthday, like a big day. My grandson, the middle one, made special steak for me, with Avocado oil, Thyme and Rosemary. It took him two hours in kitchen, to do that for everyone in the family. On special occasions, whole family has to be there, to enjoy together. My son surprised me with a nice cake. My name was shining with b...
