Enjoying time out

Today is Tuesday. I don't have to go to work to play Darts. I am off today. I have to make some other plans to fill in my day plan sheet. My back garden displays a different scenario. Deck is covered under white sheet, the same as the grass. There is a thick slab of ice on the glass top of my steel garden table. No more flowers in the flower bed.

It's so quiet all around. Today is the garbage pick up day for our neighborhood. All the green, blue and grey bins are lined up by the driveways, waiting to be picked up. Cars are staying still in the driveway for the orders to move. It looks like a very quiet atmosphere around.

No activity on the ” Twin Towers “, I mean on the two tall trees in the front garden of my next door neighbor. All of its apartments look vacant. Birds are still away, not back from South of the Border. It will take time I think a few more weeks to rent out the Towers apartments. Things will change.

It is 10.30, I am in my room. Breakfast is done. My computer is switched on. Blinds of my windows are drawn up. I am browsing text messages from my loved ones. My youngest daughter is calling me from Reading, England. She has taken some time off from her school. She is not feeling well. Something happened to her muscles. It will take time to be back on track. Muscles take time.

It's a very cold morning with windchill 23 C below zero. Not safe to walk around. I was lucky my son is working from home. Car was available. He dropped me at Tim Hortons. Nice of him to let me enjoy my time out. Change of scenery is always good to elevate your mood. It helps to manage your mood swings.

Staying at the same place all time is never a good option. We start feeling stuck, stagnant. It takes you downhill. We start feeling low, depressed. Try to take action before it's late. It is good to control any damage before it is done. Easy to handle. Anyway, I  am here at the coffee house, enjoying my small tea with plain croissants. 

Time to go home. My son just called to pick me up. It won't be nice to let him wait. I have to get ready so many things to put on. Gloves, coat, woolen hat, stole. On winter days it takes time. Talk to you my friends later. Have a great day. Try to get busy with things you like to do to make your day. Life will be all good. No worries. Trust me.

    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...
