June 11th 2024

It is a bit cold morning, 9 C. We Canadians are still waiting for our summer in the middle of June. Rain is off and on, most of the days. We are saving our water bills. No watering grass and gardens for now. 

It is Tuesday, I am off from my work. I have plans ready to make my day. It is good, to plan beforehand. We won't get stuck. It is 9.30, too early to go for my walk. I usually go around, after 11.30.  

We have to fill up all the columns of our day schedule. Take it like a spread sheet, like a mini project. Try to keep balance. Fill up keeping in mind to get busy and to enjoy your day too.

I enjoy my walks, going early will result in vacuum for rest of the day. I don't want to dry out my day. I divide time, between computer, calls, walk and, time to be in my kitchen. Kitchen is also one of my favorite spot.

Calls for me, are like mixed plates. Some are routine calls. Some to connect with distant relatives. Talk to daughters, are my routine calls, still I enjoy that. Who doesn't want to connect with his / her kids. No one. 

I divide plans into sections. Mornings are, with my computer, to connect with people and places of my choice. Calls, I make, in between, depends on the availability of the people I have to call and also the timings at their place. 

Right timings are key, we have to keep that in mind. We make calls to maintain and flourish our relationships. Not to make a dent, to ruin that. 

Middle of the day, I keep for my personal matters. Walks, I take totally personal, to enjoy my time alone. No sharing in that. 

I check my table calendar for, "Things to do". To do laundry. To wash hair, change of bed sheets. This all comes under my personal patters. 

Afternoons, I take, to share with my family. To be in kitchen to make things of their choice. I spend some time, sitting in TV lounge after 5.30. To enjoy afternoon tea with my son and my daughter in law. I stay there for a while and get busy with my Sudoku and word finding books. 

To stay in TV lounge, gives me a feeling of to be with my family. No one usually is there, to sit with me. My son goes for his bike ride in evenings. Grand kids busy with their own things.

TV lounge is like a center of our house. Anyone going out, comes to get car keys from the key board, hanging by the side of my kitchen. They also come to get snacks and have water. 

There is always some activity going on in the kitchen area. I enjoy all that, sitting in lounge. Sitting there, I also have opportunity to enjoy view of my back garden.

Afternoon time is like a mixed plate for me. It is my personal time to enjoy and also to be connected with family. 

Divide time, keeping balance between work, family and personal time to enjoy. Give yourself some time to fill up your day spread sheets.

    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...
