Enjoyng my Golden Era

September 24th 2024


It is Tuesday, a cloudy hazy morning. I am off work today. Not going to play Darts. I take it like going to work. At this age, I mean after retirement, we have to take these things like work to trick our own self. It helps to elevate our will power, controls our mood swings and also boosts our confidence.


I just checked the weather channel, it will rain all day. It's been raining since early morning. Back garden looks great. Marigolds are smiling in the flower bed at the back. Grass is all lush green. I can't see any roses on the David Austin and on the Canadian rose plants.I think season is done for them. Everyone needs some time out. It's OK.


It's 11.15, I noticed the rain just stopped, it will start again at 12 after. I have to be quick, get ready to go for my walk. At the time while we are young, going to school or busy with work. We have our time table, all planned. We have no worries to plan our day. It's all tailor made. We have to go with the flow, just follow the plans. That's it.


At the age after retirement and with more than three quarters of a century old body like mine. We have to do lots of work to plan our day taking into account how far our body can go. How much pressure I have to put on our body. We know it can backfire. We might end up with health issues.  Broken bones will be a disaster. We will be done for the rest of our life. Have to think about all that while planning our day.


We don't want to be couch potatoes too. That won't be good for the health of our mind and body. It will affect our mental attitude. We will stop taking initiatives to start to do things to get busy with something physical, to move our body. We will become lethargic.


It's very important to plan our day in old age. It won't be good doing nothing and sitting idle. I take old age like a golden era of our life. We are done with our work and family responsibilities. This is all our own time. Plan what you like to do. It's now time to make it happen.


It's 11.50, I am at Tim Hortons enjoying my coffee. I picked the time slot between 11 to 12, for my walk. There was no rain at that time. I'm happy. It's always good to get out to change your scenery. It's enough to elevate your mood. You start looking at things with a positive perspective.


It is 16 C, I should have taken my other jacket, not this light one. Next time I will keep that in mind. It's not good to get sick to be a liability to our kids. They are already busy with their work and with their own family. It's not good to put extra pressure on them. It won't be nice. We have to try to handle our own things as long as we can. Life is all good for now. Thank You God for everything.

    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 ...

Have a taste of Nature

      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...
