It was my birthday

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 birthday wishes on top of that. I feel lucky. My family did so much to make my day. Specially the efforts my grandkids made. 

My elder grandson canceled meeting with friends, to be there. My youngest one, with big smile on his face, asking me to cut my cake. My daughter in law was happy too for me. 

In family, every one is unique, has his own personality. It is like a bouquet of flowers. Needs loots of care to flourish and stay together. We being eldest, have more responsibility to safeguard everyone's personal space and privacy and also the things matter to them. 

There is nothing one sided. We have to give first, to get things back. Specially love and respect. 

It is 12.30, I am at Tim Hortons. Weather is great. I need just a light jacket to walk here. So much green is all around. Skeleton trees are back to life. Magnolia tree is loaded with flowers. My red wooden bench is shining on the lush green front garden. 

Red and golden Tulips are smiling by the side of my front door. Such a festive atmosphere to behold. Birds are back from South of the border. I am done at coffee house. Time to go back home. Talk to you later.

    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...

     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...
