Take time to smell Roses

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. Have to feel relaxed. Purpose of making our time table is to make a list of things to do. It will help to keep track of how we can keep ourselves busy.

It's better to chalk out that list beforehand, putting an approximate time to do. To start and to finish the job. We don't have to be too ambitious while making things to-do list. 

Don't have to push yourself. Keep in mind that our body is not the same. Our nerves are also not so strong. We can not handle too much pressure.

Take things easy just to get busy and to change your scenery. That will be more than enough to make our day. Change of scenery is key to elevating our mood. It helps to change our attitude. Attitude is everything. It can ruin or can make our days.

Positive attitude changes the entire outlook of the atmosphere. Life starts looking great.  it's 11.45, I am at the Coffee House. Enjoying my coffee and my time. 

Time alone is also important. Sometimes we have to talk to ourselves too. It is a sort of meditation. Gives inner peace. You start feeling relaxed. Try that sometimes.

It's a Beautiful Day

    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...

Bird are busy picknicking

    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 ...
