Thought Of The Day

      It's a beautiful cold morning windy day gusts around 44 km. Weather is getting better, still 8 C below zero. Some people started their walks wearing winter coats with gloves and everything on. Snow is still around, melting down a bit. Walkways are patchy with small water puddles here and there. Sun is smiling from up and above. He is there most of the time to make our days brighter. This is the beauty of Canada that we have bright days even at times of 20 C below zero. Our gloomy cloudy days are not so many in comparison to our sunny mornings. Every city and every country is unique, differs with its own climate with its own scenario and beauty. While visiting various cities we get different flavors everywhere to enjoy our time. I had visitors early this morning today. My late husband's younger brother’s wife is here from back home visiting her daughter. She is leaving next week, she came to see me with her daughter from Mississauga. It's forty minutes a...

    March 4th 2025 Beautiful morning after days it is not snowing today. Chances of rain are 80% for all day. Let's see. Our weather channel's predictions are usually correct.  We Canadians rely on it. We start our day checking the forecast first thing in the morning to plan our day schedule. Our life is all around this channel. It plays a key part in our day to day life here in Canada. Today is my dentist appointment in the afternoon. Cars are out of the question as my daughter in law works in person. My grandson, the eldest one, works online. He is having an in-person meeting today.  He offered to change his schedule for my appointment. I was happy and thankful to him for his kind gesture. I told him that I can make it on my own. I know that sometimes we need support to streamline our things in life. I believe we have to try to handle it on our own until it's unavoidable.  It gives strength to ourselves and boosts our will power too. This is esp...

  March 1st 2025 March has already started, spring is just around the corner and we are still under the grip of cold. Winter is not done for us in Canada. It's 16 C below zero feels like 24 C below.  Heaps of snow are all around due to last week's two back to back snow storms. We are having light snow every day but not as much as last week. We had thirty five centimeters of snow in just two or three days. Snow is no problem here in Canada, especially in Toronto. City is equipped to deal with that. Streets and walkways all cleared right away. I live by the curly roadside still it is done in a couple of hours later on. Some provinces in Canada on the North side have issues as there is too much snow not easy to handle so it takes time to clear the mess. My eldest daughter in Edmonton has to wear cleats to get mail from the mailbox just across her house.  Winter is long over there for more than six months. I won't blame the city people. It's tough to deal with...
