Thought Of The Day

  It's the 4th of August, a rainy and windy day. Gusts are around 35 to 40 mph.  I usually walk in the back garden before having my breakfast, Not possible today. I tried that couple of times. I was about to fall down due to strong gusts. Health and safety has to be our first priority at any age. At our age, we have to be more careful. We don't have much strength with an old body. Anyway, we have to accept whatever is there. I am sitting by the small round table in the kitchen. Having lunch with my daughter. I like this spot. It is closer to the large glass panels. I can enjoy the entire view of the garden. It's raining. Not a heavy rain, just a drizzle. Pink roses look happy. I think they are also enjoying the view. Two pigeons are walking on the lush green grass. It's too windy with strong gusts. I can't go outside to have a feel of all that. I just had lunch with my daughter. Now I'm getting ready to go grocery shopping with my daughter. Tomorr...

    It's a mixed sunny cloudy morning. Grimsby is a bit cooler than the temperature in London.  I am wearing my light jacket while walking in the back garden.  White Butterfly is whispering to the red roses. I think talking about something personal. White butterfly looks a bit shy. I don't have to go closer. Not a good idea to intrude on their privacy.  Red roses look happy. I think they two are close friends. White Butterfly used to come more often to share her moments with these beautiful roses. I think not we humans, all the creatures have emotions. They are not robots. They are much better than us in so many ways. Always come forward to spread happiness, to brighten our day. It's 12. 45, I am getting ready to go to the Freshney shopping center with my daughter. This is the only shopping mall here in Grimsby. Sun is just awake, now out of his grey blanket. In Europe the climate is much different. Not like at my place in Canada. Here the flowering ...

    I am out of Kent, in Grimsby now at my other daughter’s place. Grimsby is a tourist town two hours driving distance from Manchester.  She lives twenty minutes from the beach. The weather is great, slightly cooler. It's 8.45 in the morning. I am sitting in the garden wearing my navy blue light jacket with a sky blue pattern. This is my favorite one. I bought it years ago from Oxfam for five pounds. Sometimes items click to your taste. Doesn't matter whether it's from a high class store or not. You go for that. Canada has more land and not much population. England on the other hand has more population and not much land. Houses here are not so spacious as compared to Canada. Same with gardens. The front and back gardens are not big, but look very beautiful. I am in the back garden of my daughter’s house. Pots are lined up with a variety of flowers. I see yellow roses with an orange tinge. Pink roses with a special fragrance. A big pot full of yellow flowers ...

    Beautiful sunny morning. Rain has taken a day off. My days in Kent are about to be over.  My other daughter, the middle one, is coming tonight from Grimsby to pick me up.  Lucky me kids are not sick of their old mom yet. I have to appreciate their kindness and salute to their patience. At the later stages of our life, it's not easy for kids to track their parents. They are in a different time zone.  It's great of them to take some time off to be with us to give us company.  It's 8.15 in the morning. I am in the garden. My daughter is  in the kitchen making veggie omelets for breakfast. I am having my honey drink to start my morning.  One teaspoon of honey in warm water. I start my day with that. We can start what we like to brighten our day. Pink roses are looking great in the earthen pot by my left side. Scarlet red flowers smiling in the pot in front. One pigeon is wandering in the garden. Maybe looking for his friend to meet here...

    It's a beautiful cloudy morning light drizzle just started. It's not dark and gloomy. I am walking in the garden. Pink flowers look happy, giving me a smile.  White cat with two pitch black spots on her body is sitting on the garden wall. I think she is also enjoying the beautiful view like me. We have to start our day with something positive. I take mornings as the face of our day. Try to usually start my Blogs with the word, “ Beautiful “. Our mind is like a power house. It controls our thoughts and directs our body to act accordingly. We have to think twice before we speak. Specifically, while writing on paper and punching on computers we have to choose positive words. Our words have power, affect and determine how our mind reacts. Our words are the reflections of our thoughts. Our thoughts are like messages delivered to our mind to go in that direction. The mind and body are like two in one, working very closely. Our mind feeling low our body can not...

              It’s a hot and breezy day sort of mix and match. It reminds me of the beautiful piece of writing from Charles Dickens, “ It's one of those days when winter is in the shade and summer under sun “ .  I don't remember how many times I repeated it in my Blogs. Some writings are forever. Stay fresh to touch your heart. Simple, you can relate to it all the time. Never stale, never look outdated. I am not a person of the past. Don’t like to look back to turn the pages. I believe to be in the moments in hand. Looking back you feel frozen, can't go ahead to move on. The past is like a magnet, you can't get out of it. You have to stay there to wander around. Sometimes you get caught. Same happened with me. I caught up. The day before I switched on my computer to open up my Facebook messages.  I was feeling like I was frozen. My mind was blank. My eyes were caught up with the message. Today is the day of my late sister's birth...

    July 15th 2025 I came to Kent at my daughter's place from Camberley just about a week ago. I am all set, feel like I live here. We humans are amazing. Have a quality to adjust with all the circumstances. My daughter leaves at 7.30 early in the morning for her school. I found a library nearby to pass my time. It is not within a walking distance. My son in law drives me there at 12 Noon. So nice of him. He goes to work in the afternoons. My daughter picks me up on the way back from work at 4 pm.   I divide my four hours walking around the High Street. Sitting in the library browsing magazines and some of my time sitting in the garden. Today it is too windy and I forgot to bring my jacket. I am not enjoying my walk and my time in the garden. Anyway it is the lesson for the next time. There are so many stages of our life. In the early years, we were busy with schools. Afterwards we are busy at work. Later on we get busy with our family matters. No time to th...

    Beautiful morning, hot humid day. The sun is shining in full bloom. Weather in England is unpredictable just like its traffic.  Two days ago I was wearing a light jacket while I was walking around the High Street. Today is a totally different scenario. It's 9.15, I am done with my breakfast now sitting in the garden. Flower pots are lined up in front with beautiful roses.  I see a variety of shades and colors of roses pink, red and yellow. Tall trees are making the atmosphere very cozy. Two pigeons are walking by the pink roses flower pot. White cat with pitch black spots on her body is sitting on the fence.  I think she is done with her breakfast and came to give me company. So nice of her. Looks so calm and composed. I think she is enjoying her time. The air is loaded with fragrances from around. I hear a couple of birds having chit chat, sitting somewhere inside the tall tree. Two kids are playing with a ball in the garden next door. Such an ...

          Now I am on a road trip for a while, I  was at my youngest daughter's place in Camberley.  Last night I came to Kent at my other daughter's house. Her son picked me up. He came with his younger brother. Insisted me to have the front seat. Lucky me. Kent is a small historical town. I like its High Street. At one end of the street are the old castle and Church. This Church is the second oldest after Canterbury Church. I like to walk around. The castle is sort of challenging for me to walk uphill. I like the beautiful interior architecture of the Church. Such a peaceful atmosphere to sit for a while. On the High Street there is Morley bakery and Coffee House. It was established in 1985. I like to sit there to enjoy tea over there. I like historical places.  So many Charity shops are all lined up on the High Street, I like Charity shops. So many antiques to look around. I feel that time stopped, taking me back to have a feel of...

    Day is bright and beautiful. Breezy morning. Sun is shining in full bloom. Weather is great, perfect and not too hot. My sleep was good too. I am done with my breakfast. I changed my menu here in England. Oatmeal is at a break. Switched to raisin bread and stir fried egg with half a cup of milk. I take Coco pop cereal like snacks with no milk. I know I am having too much. It's like a big breakfast for me. Doesn't matter. We can enjoy whatever we like to have while we are having vacations. Just changed my menu to have a feel. It's 10.30, my daughter is at work. I am sitting in the garden. No red lilies for now. Its flowering season is done. Rose pink and white flowers look great in big pots. There is so much green all around. Big yellow flowers of I think Zucchini are smiling in the left corner of the garden. My granddaughter is working from home. I don't have to bother her. I am sitting in the corner under the shade of tall trees at my favorite spot. W...

  I used to write my Blogs at Tim Hortons when I was in Pickering, Canada.  Here in England, I sit beside flowers. Beside the red lilies and white roses in the back garden of my daughter to write my Blogs. It's a perfect spot. I pick my tablet and enjoy over there. England is under a spell of heat wave so for now to go for a walk is not a good idea. There is no coffee house or Plaza nearby. I take my chances to get out to change my scenery whenever I can. Yesterday my grandson was going to Gym. He dropped me at Costa. So nice of him. I was there at Costa at 1.30. My daughter picked me up around 5 pm on the way back from her work. I got my Sudoku and word search books. I also got my notebook to jot down these beautiful moments. Spent here with my daughters in England. To lock up in my memory box to enjoy later. It's hot today, 31 C. No air. I am sitting in the garden at my cozy spot in the shade under the tall trees. We have to manage to enjoy our moments. Have t...

  I am in Camberley, England. It is too hot today. This is my youngest daughter's place.  She has a beautiful small cozy back garden. I have set up a chair under the tall trees, beside blood red lilies in the shade. I used to sit there most of the time. It's a nice breezy corner. Not today. I have to go to my room and switch on my fan. The room my daughter set for me is also great. There are two side tables. One is beside my bed, the other one in the corner at the back. She put a table fan on it. Small writing desk for my computer is beside the window. I can see tall trees through the window. So much green to enjoy. She has four kids. Two boys and two girls. They are not kids anymore. All are working. The eldest daughter is married and has one four-month-old baby girl of her own. It's Saturday, they all are here for me. So nice of them. Lucky me. We had lunch together. Family is family. I gathered the beautiful moments to cherish and to lock up in my memory bo...

 It's a beautiful morning in Camberley, England. Not so hot, bright sunny breezy day. It is 11.30, I am sitting in my youngest daughter’s back garden. So much green is around. She loves to track her garden.  Blood red Lilies, rose pink, white pinkish Purple and bell shaped white flowers, all are happy, smiling. Grass is lush green. There was rain for a while yesterday afternoon. I came here just about a week ago from Toronto. Looks like I live here, I am all set. I was a bit nervous while starting my journey. I think it's not my fault. At our age, so many things start coming up. Traveling adds up pressure. Anyway I am all settled. There is no nearby coffee house or Plaza, like Tim Hortons and Metro, in Pickering. My daughter is working, goes at 7.30 in the morning, comes back at 5.30. She is in Private school, with longer hours. I have to manage my day on my own. My grand kids are also working. One the youngest one is here on his uni vacations. He keeps track of...

    It's June the 23rd, I am in a different city, in a different country, not in Toronto.  I believe now the world has become a global village. Boundaries don't mean anything. Just a map on the paper. Mixed families with different castes and creeds. Schools, colleges, universities and at work places, we come across with all sorts of people at the same premises. World is quite different from the time we were brought up. Classrooms with familiar faces of the kids from our neighborhood. Small town where everyone used to know everyone. Such a peaceful atmosphere. No hustle, no bustle, no rushing. Lots of time in hand. No pressure to finish up things right away. Time changed. Things change with time. Every era is not the same as the previous one. My mom also used to say that it has changed so much from her time. I think change is the beauty of life. Anyway, I am In England at my daughter's place. I started my journey from Toronto on the night of 20th June from th...

    I mentioned that it's a beautiful morning. I think each and every morning is beautiful.  Sometimes we are not in a mood to accept its beauty. Our body is not in good shape. Body is not feeling good and the mind can not be in a position to enjoy things. There are so many factors, which can easily affect our peace of mind. Mind and body are very much interconnected. One feels low and the other one joins right away to change the entire perspective. So many times we don’t have a good night's sleep. That is common with most people. I believe the people around. The company at work, school and at home is the key to disrupt our peace of mind. It disturbs our sleep too. We feel tired, our body is not in a position to enjoy anything. Harmony at the household and also at the workplace is important. Negative thoughts also play a key role in the well-being of our mind and body. Try to get involved in the things you like to do. To get busy is good. It keeps us away fr...

    My flight to England is getting closer. It's on the coming Friday. Weather is getting much better, not too hot, not too cold.  It's so perfect 16C today, amazing. I am at the lakeside, walking in just with my light jacket. No gloves, no woolen scarf. Things change, that is the beauty of time. Nothing stays forever. Water at the lake surface is sparkling like silver. With time it turns to gold as the sun starts showering its light from time to time on the water. Beautiful wild flowers of so many colors are spreading amid all the green around. Things change so quickly. Last week it was a totally different scenario. Now it has changed, all so different. Looks like Nature keeps on changing the scenes on a big movie screen. Up in the sky are the same situation. The entire sky looks like an art gallery. Masterpiece paintings of art we keep on watching on a wide canvas. Sketches with pencils and watercolors. It is so beautiful, eye -catching. Nature Is amazing....

          One week of June is already gone and we are still waiting for our summer days. This is Canada my dear. Nowadays it's not so cold and I still have to wear a jacket and sweater. It's a sunny morning, a bit windy. Wind gusts are around 48 km. I am off from work. I have to schedule some other plans for my day. I am leaving next week for England.  I have to make some calls to my friends to say goodbye. It's early morning to call. I will finish my own things. I will call them later. We call them to maintain our relationships. Calls have to be made not too early and not too late. We don't want to ruin our relationship. We have to track the right timings. It's 10.45, I think the time is right to make calls. It also depends on relationships. Some people, we are not so close. Just have a formal relationship. Keep these things in mind. Our talks have to be short. People don't have to feel trapped. We have to let them go in a reasonable time. It...

    It's one of another day, another morning to enjoy. We are lucky to be up to get brand new twenty four hours every morning. It is available right on our bed side.  We have to open it up, unwrap the bundle and it is ready to use. Just have to plan what to do with these twenty four hours.  Keep in mind this is a gift from God Almighty. We have to feel honored. We have to make good use of it. Doing nothing is like putting this precious gift into a bin. Don’t do that please. God won’t be happy. Plan beforehand so as not to waste any time. The time available is just for one time only. It won't be coming back. It will be gone for good. Keep that in mind. Value it and make full use of that. My sleep is not good nowadays. I have to go to England to  see my daughters by the end of the month. My flight is already booked for the twentieth of June.  I will be there for a couple of months. I have three of my daughters, my sister and some other family member...

    It's a cold sunny morning. I still have to wear a jacket but not a sweater underneath my jacket.  June has already started and we are not out of our jackets. Our winter is taking some extra miles this year. Not backing off. It's Tuesday, I am off from my work. I don't have to go to the library to play Darts today. On the days I am off work, I walk to Tim Hortons to enjoy my coffee and my time. To be with a cup of tea  / coffee, sitting quietly, is a novel experience. So peaceful. Coffee House is not a quiet place. There are people sitting around. So much traffic going on. People are coming and leaving most of the time. I think it all depends on the state of your mindset. You are focused on something, deeply involved, you don't get distracted from what's going on outside, around. I come here just to be with myself. I don't get disturbed from around. Sometimes we just want to do “Nothing”. No thoughts, no plans. Everything is on hold for a while. ...

    I was happy a couple of days ago, the weather was great. People were busy making plans for summer days ahead.  Not anymore. We are back in sweaters and our long coats. I think we have to wait for a bit to hang coats and jackets back in our coat closet. It's 10.30, 6 C, a cold windy morning with gusts around 50 km. I am done with my breakfast, sitting with my computer to browse Facebook messages. I think we are lucky to have these gadgets. I mean computers and cell phones. We don't have any problem passing our time. We are not dependent on people to be with us all the time. We don't need company. To be with people is good. We are social animals after all. All depends on who the people are. They don't have to be too inquisitive or too talkative. Not too quiet. It depends on the state of our mind. Sometimes we just need a good listener. Sometimes we need to be with someone to share our coffee / tea and also a little bit of chit chat. It depends on our mood...

    White Butterfly, my friend is here after a long time. I am walking by the Whites Road. She is beside me.  She is fast, I am trying to cope with her steps. She is young and full of beauty. I am old at the later stages of my life cycle. Lost my beauty, lost my touch. It happens to everyone, not only in my case. This is life, comes time for all the creatures big and small.  I am now passing by the small ravine. I see here some dead trees lying down like pieces of wood in the midst of so many greens. This is life my dear. Time comes for everyone to all creatures. We have to accept it with grace. Have to enjoy our time with full zeal and fervor.  We have to celebrate every bit of our time. The time we are allotted to be here with the permission of God Almighty. White Butterfly is taking breaks to be aligned with my steps. She is so courteous. It is nice of her. In between she keeps on enjoying her time. Talking to flowers on the way.  Flowers loo...

    It's a beautiful bright sunny morning. Sun is in full bloom, smiling from above. Yesterday it was raining all day. Everything is looking great after the shower.  My deck is neat and clean. Grass in my back garden is lush green. Beautiful view to behold to cherish your moments. My friend the Black Squirrel is busy with his exercises on the wooden fence of my garden.  The Canadian rose plant is back to life, still not any flowers not even budding. I think it will take time. I miss It's Pink flowers. David Austin, the blood red rose flower plant is a slow one. It needs extra time to revive. There is not much activity in the flower bed at the back of my garden. There are a couple of plants, not blooming.  Weather is still a bit on the cool side. Not favorable to plant. We used to get a variety of seasonal plants every year. We got some, lying in my garage, waiting for the suitable weather to plant in the flower bed. Our spring is short like our sum...

    It's Tuesday, I have my day off. I don't work on Tuesdays. Monday was a close holiday because of Victoria day.  She helped Canada to make the Charter of Democracy. We remember that and celebrate. Everything was closed and only eateries were open. I enjoyed my time in Tim Hortons. It was a very long weekend for me. I will go to work tomorrow to play Darts. I believe work is like a blessing. It helps us to organize our lifestyle. We don't have to worry about how to spend our time. It helps us to be productive and also keeps us away from negativity. Schools are the same to impart a positive change in our life. We have no issues in the earlier days of our life, how to organize ourselves and to chalk out our day programs. In the later stages, we have to find hobbies to be active. Our health issues start coming up with our age. We have to keep that in mind while choosing our activities. We don’t have to be too ambitious while making our plans. With time our ne...

    It's 10.15, I am at Petticoat Creek. Beautiful view, beautiful morning. Water at the lake is looking great, deep blue, calm and quiet. Birds are chatting under the walking bridge. Maybe having a party. I can hear them loud and clear. Via the train, that connects America and Canada, is passing, on the overhead bridge. This train always reminds me of the times of my late youngest sister. She used to live in Chicago. Time flies. Memories linger on. Lots of people are here. Some are walking with their dogs. Some are busy with fishing. Some are walking around just like myself.  I am wearing a light jacket. Silk scarf, orange with a flowery pattern. My daughter, the middle one, gifted it to me. Couple of years ago while I was visiting her place, Grimsby in England. Days go by, beautiful memories, golden moments get stuck in our mind. Somewhere inside in our memory box. Like glistening jewels. We open up our memory box whenever we want. To enjoy our time to mak...

    Today I was awake and it was too early to get out of my bed. It was 5 in the morning. Too early to start my day. I stayed in bed, gave myself some time to go back to sleep.  It was not easy, but I succeeded later on. I was happy to start my day at my usual time. When there is a will there is always a way to get a solution. In the later stages of life we have to chalk out our day time table on our own. We don't have fixed schedules. We are done with our school and work days.  Not much to get busy at home too as our kids are no more kids. They all are now grown ups and moved out to start their own life, their own family. We are sitting on an empty nest. We have two options to make ourselves miserable by doing nothing. Just watching TV or sitting beside our computer or with our cell phones. The other option is to make our time table, to organize ourselves. We don't have to be strict to follow that. We have to be flexible, not to feel stuck or tied up. ...

    Bright sunny morning with 16 C. We don't need any jackets, not even light ones. Our winter was a bit longer this time. Yesterday I had to wear a sweater underneath my jacket. Anyway, it is done. Winter days are now history for a while. We are all set to enjoy our spring. Getting plants and pots from green houses, from nurseries to give color to our gardens. My Magnolia tree is full of beige flowers with a pinkish hue.  Lush green grass and the trees around started blooming with new leaves. This all looks like the atmosphere is full of life. Loaded with all sorts of aroma and fragrances. It's 11.30, I  am getting ready for my walk. Not much to wear. I don’t have to bundle up. Just a light shirt and pants, not my warm one and a light scarf. I have to get my tablet to write my Blog, while enjoying my coffee at Tim Hortons. I also don't have to forget my cell and headphones. My daughters can call me. They know my time table, and used to call me at this ...

    Things change, life goes on. Every day, every moment there's a totally different scenario. To observe, to enjoy, to make our days.  Life is like an open book to write on the blank pages. I think it is like a combo with all the bitter and sweet. We come across so much on the way while passing through our stages of life.   It is like a roller coaster. We have to filter out our difficult moments۔ Keep on compiling our beautiful moments in the book of life.  Past is done. It won't be coming back. We can lock up our beautiful memories Inside our memory box. To open it up to have a feel, to brighten our day. Good memories are like stars, like jewels. Keep on glistening in the dark. Lock it up, we need them so many times to elevate our mood. To keep ourselves going.  We especially need them in the later stage of our life. We have lots of time. We can enjoy our memorable moments. I believe that we can name life, like a change. Change of weather, ch...

  We are still waiting for summer in Canada. Still have to dig out our coat closets to bundle up. Rain usually comes late at night or early mornings to brighten our gardens. Grass is now turned into lush green with no brown patches in between. My front garden is looking great. The Magnolia tree on the left is loaded with beautiful peach color flowers with a pinkish hue. Red wooden bench is shining under the tree, adding up the beauty of my garden.  Skeleton trees look happy. Green already started running through their bodies. Looks like soon they will be back on the track. Twin Towers, the two tall trees in the front garden of my next door neighbor, started renovating their apartments to rent out. So much has changed in the past few weeks. It already started looking like a festive atmosphere. People are now in a festive mood. My back garden is a bit slow. Not so much activity there. I am waiting for my beautiful pink Canadian roses. It comes early, not like my bloo...

Great morning 21 C, a bit gusty with wind 54 km. Weather is like a roller coaster. Yesterday was cold. I needed so many things to bundle up for my walk. Today I am wearing a light jacket, not even my long light coat.  Summertime is not long here for us Canadians. We know that, so we enjoy it with full fervor. We start right away getting ready to get out to hit roads, trails and waters. It is a totally different scenario. Birds chirping around. Skeleton trees are back to life. Look happy with green tinge running through their bodies.  Squirrels are busy collecting food. I think they are having parties. Guests must be coming for a get together. Everyone looks in a festive mood, enjoying their time in their own style. Every season is unique with its own beauty. I remember the winter time. People were busy playing ice hockey and fishing in the middle of the frozen lake. They used to enjoy their walks in trails with long heavy coats, snow boots and gloves. We Humans ...

    April 26th 2025 It's a beautiful bright sunny morning, 5 C feels like zero. Sun is shining up and above, smiling to make our day brighter. He is here most of the days even in cold wintry times. So nice of him. It helps so much to handle our Canadian winter. At the later stages of our life, so many issues come up. Every morning is like Christmas. We don't know what we are getting to deal with. It always comes up with a surprise to handle whichever part of our body is not in a good shape. We have no idea beforehand. Same is with most of the nights. We go to bed with good intentions. After a while something comes up to take our sleep away. We keep on waiting for a good sleep. That looks like a dream not to come true any time soon. Every stage of the cycle of our life is unique and quite different from one another. We have to keep on adjusting to that. Not only at the later stages of our life. It goes on happening at every stage, every day. We have to be patient, fl...

    We Humans are amazing creatures. Everything around us affects our mood and our behaviors.  The surrounding, the people, the atmosphere. We can get flared up or be happy. All depends on the surroundings. Sometimes everything is fine but our body is not in a mood to cooperate. We feel low, don't want to move ahead to make our day. Our mind gets blank. Not in a shape to direct our body. Our mind is key like a commander. Controls all of our body actions. We have to take action at that time. Have to skip that stagnant moment in some way to save our day. We have to push ourselves, to get out of that situation. Try to change your place, your scenery. It will resolve the issue. We will be able to overcome that situation to save our day. Change of place works most of the time. It helps to change our attitude. Attitude is key. It controls our thought process. Body movements help to distract ourselves from thinking negatively. Try to get out of the stagnant situation....

    Happy Easter to all my friends who celebrate Easter It's a beautiful morning. Sunny with 13C. It was raining last night so everything looks great after taking a shower. My deck is all washed and clean. Grass is green in my back and front garden. Trees around look Happy back to life with green tinge in their bodies. The Magnolia tree at the left side of my front garden, started budding. Winter days are over. Spring jumped in to give colors to yards and gardens. Atmosphere is already loaded with the fragrance of a variety of colorful wildflowers. Birds are back from South of the Border. Apartments in the Twin Towers are already rented out. I mean, the two tall trees in the front garden of my next door neighbor are back to life with Birds around. I can see them busy with chit chat, enjoying time with their neighbors. I am getting ready for my walk. Don't have to bundle up after a long time. I picked my light long raincoat. There are chances of showers. I have to take measures...

    April 15th 2025 It's a cloudy windy day. Rain is about to start any time soon. It is early morning, I am just done with my breakfast.  Have to get ready for my walk before the rain starts. It's a windy day with gusts of 64 km. I have to be careful to pick what to wear, how to dress up. I am all set with my warm pants, long winter coat with sweater underneath. My woolen cap stole and gloves. We have to be aware of the weather before taking any step to get out. Our purpose is to enjoy our time. Not properly dressed, we can't enjoy ourselves. We have to foresee things before it is too late to be mended. Never forget to check the weather before leaving home for any outing. Walks, going to someone's place, gatherings. Take measures before you leave. Overdressing as well as whenever we are under dressed, won’t be a good option. It will ruin your day. We won't enjoy our time out. Anyway, I am all set for my walk.  No worries rain or shine doesn't matt...

    April 12th 2025 Life is too short. We have to avail every moment to make our days. Not just try to make your own days.  Try to make the days of other people brighter too. We are here for a limited time. All are waiting for our calls to leave. Try to leave with good memories for the people behind. It's a beautiful sunny cold day. Sun is up and above smiling to make our day brighter. Everyone feels good to be with the company of Sun. Same is with the Moon and stars. They all come  smiling with happy faces.  Happiness is contagious. We all start to be indulged in happiness. Start keeping our bad moments aside. Our life has to be like them. Ready to make others happy. I am at Tim Hortons. Life is all good. No complaints. Thanks to God Almighty to keep watching over we people all the time. It's a festive atmosphere at the Coffee House. I enjoyed my time. Time to go home now. I am walking by the Whites Road. Skeleton trees started to come back to life...

    It's cold and windy today. Weather is like a roller coaster nowadays. Couple of days ago we were so sure that summer will be here anytime soon. Now it looks like it is not anymore. We have to wait for a while.  It is 11.30 feels like 16C below zero and wind gusts 65 km. Sun is shining in full bloom. It's the beauty of Canada that the sun is there most of the time to make our days brighter even in cold wintry days.  Cleaning lady is busy working at my place. I have to wait for her to leave.  After that I will go for my walk. Today I have to be extra careful, and have to bundle up in layers.  We have to manage with whatever the circumstances are. Things change and so does the weather. It won't be the same cozy and comfortable all the time. Some days too hot and some days too cold. Rain, snow, we have to manage whatever is there. Same are the people around. Some friendly, some straightforward and some blunt and sort of rude.  We humans ar...

    Today is the 5th of April. Time flies so quickly. April just started and nearly one week has gone by now. New year is also not new anymore. Quarter of the New year is gone. Shower started in the morning. It is not heavy rain, just drizzling. I love to walk in the drizzle. You feel cozy, with a very unique feeling. Looks like It is washing all your stray thoughts away.  Stops you from thinking anything else.  Your mind is just focused on the beauty around. Wonderful aroma of the earth. Rain drops hanging on the trees like pearls. Atmosphere starts looking great, loaded with all sorts of fragrances. You start to feel that you are also part of nature, part of the universe. Your focus gets diverted on the scattered beauty. It's 11.30, I am getting ready for my walk to Tim Hortons.  I will enjoy my walk in the drizzle and also the coffee after over there. It will be a treat for my body. She is a great listener. Always cooperates with my plans to make...

     Yesterday the weather was cold and windy with gusts 54 km. Walk was a bit challenging for me. I made it anyway. Today it is much calmer and not so windy, just38 km. Sunny with 2 C, first time not below zero after a long time. It's Tuesday everyone left for work. Today is garbage pick up day in our neighborhood. Grey, green and blue all sorts are lined up by the side of driveways. It is a working day so not many cars are here. Just a couple of cars are beside the front doors, waiting for order to proceed. I am done with my breakfast and with making some calls. My younger brother is not well, going through his difficult times. With age so many things start coming up. Our body becomes weak, same with our nerves and other powers. It becomes hard to tackle the circumstances. This is the cycle of life. We have to face it with patience. Patience is a virtue, helps to handle things every time. We have to distract ourselves. The more we will be focused we get depressed. Thing...

    March 29th 2025 It's a cloudy rainy day. Rain just started and will be for the whole day. March will be done and in a couple of days April will start. April showers May flowers. It is great news that Spring will be here shortly. Flower beds will be back to life. Birds will start nesting. The Magnolia tree in my front garden, started budding already. The Magnolia tree is always the first one to let me know that Spring is just around the corner. My friend the Black Squirrel will be here for his workouts on the wooden fence of my back garden. The Canadian rose plant will be loaded with beautiful pink flowers all around. I can't wait to see all that. Atmosphere will be loaded with aroma and all kinds of fragrances. Skeleton trees will no longer be Skeletons. They all will be back to life. There will be so much green around. It will be a totally different scenario. We will start planning to hit the roads, trails and waters. People will be busy outdoors, going fish...
