Think before taking breaks

Beautiful morning, all snow gone.Thanks to the rain last night. My deck is all clean and washed. Gold leaves are no more there. It looks a bit quiet. I can't see my friend the Black Squirrel. Birds are still not back from South of the Border.

Canadian Beautiful pink roses and the blood red David Austin roses are taking a break. Seasonal violet, red and yellow flowers are also not here. They must be tired and need a break too. Grass is still green. So many trees are transformed into skeletons. Need moral support from their green colleagues around.

The Magnolia tree in my front garden is done for the season. He is always the first one to make an announcement that spring is just around the corner. Get ready to celebrate.

Red wooden bench at the left side of my garden is looking beautiful, washed and clean due to last night's rain. My driveway is also washed and clean, very quiet. No cars will be there by late evening. My daughter in law is working in person. Same with my eldest grandson.

My house is a bit quiet too. My son is with his meetings. He is working from home. My youngest grandson is sleeping, enjoying his holidays. He is done with his exams for 3rd year Uni. My middle one is done with his degree, taking a break to start his working life.

Breaks are good for a change, to relax for a while. Keep in mind that it has to be short ones. Long breaks will make you lethargic. You will become rusted, shaky to start things. Your motivation will go down. Your knowledge and skills will become outdated. Think twice before taking breaks.

I am going for my walk. Weather is a bit chilly. It is 3 C below zero. I know that I have to bundle up in layers and have to take other things as usual. Long warm thick coat, cap and woolen stole. 

It is always good to get o out to change your scenery. It helps to elevate your mood. Control your mood swings. Try to make your day. No matter what.Try that. Life will be 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...
