My Christmas Lunch

-

 No photo description available.

It's Thursday December the 18th. Beautiful bright sunny morning. The weather is not bad. It is 2 C not below zero. 

New Year is just around the corner. Not many, just a couple of days left. The Year 2025 will be a history.

People are excited to make big plans to welcome the new year. To celebrate in whatever way they can. 

The end of the year comes with a bunch of holidays. Some stay to party at home. Some plan holiday trips.

Some are excited to manage their health. Make plans to visit gyms regularly. They chalk out their diets charts. To follow strictly. Most of the plans fizzle out after a couple of weeks.

 By the month of February, things start getting cool off. Excitement and focus start losing its intensity. I think everyone gets carried away while making plans.

Plans have to be practical not to fill up the books. We have to take our stamina, our strength and our personality into account while making any commitments.

We don't have to overdo it. Not taking part in any marathon. Not have to prove ourselves to anyone else. We are doing it for our own sake. Take it as your own personal spread sheet.

Don't try to prove to anyone. Nobody cares. Why to put ourselves into misery. We feel down after not proving ourselves. Not making our commitments to work.

We start to have a feeling to avoid our own personality. We feel that we are losers. Not able to perform what we planned. Please give yourself a break. Don't make any judgment. Next time try to make realistic plans. Don't just have to get carried away.

It's 11.30, I am at Tim Hortons enjoying my coffee. My Christmas lunch from my senior club is at 1pm at Swiss Chalet. I will go from here after a while. It's just a 5 minute walk from here.

I don't care about lunch and dinner. At our age, I think we don't look forward to such things. I just try to get out. To avail opportunities to enjoy my time. 

We have to try to make our day with whatever is available. Life will be good. Trust me.

The sun not yet awake

  It's a cold cloudy morning. The sun is not awake yet. Drowsing under his grey blanket. He must be awake till late at night.  It was raining all night. It just stopped and will start again after a couple of hours at 10. That the weather channel is predicting. It is 7.30, I got up early today. The first thing I do is to check the weather of the day. Time is running out. I have to get ready for my walk. I will miss that otherwise. It will start at 10 and will be raining all day. I have to dress up in layers. It is 8 C. I have to pick my maroon umbrella just in case. That umbrella I got years ago from Dollarama store for three dollars. We have to be prepared while getting out of the house. Not good to get stuck on the way to spoil the trip. I have gloves, my woolen cap and my red woolen stole. This red stole one of my senior club friends gifted to me. Gifts are like souvenirs. Doesn't matter how much it costs. Price doesn't matter. I am all set ready to leave. M...

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...

David Austin giving me smile

    The weather is great. Blood red David Austin roses are smiling in the flower bed at the back of my garden.  The flower bed is looking great with pink, purple, white and deep orange flowers. August is nearly done. Today is the 28th. Time flies fast. The new year of 2025 is not new anymore. I came back from England a couple of days ago. It looks like I have never been away from my home. Things are back on track. I started working part time, going to play Darts three days a week. We humans are unique. We are easily able to adjust to the surroundings. Manage to adopt whatever is available to make our time. Yesterday was a busy day for me. I was planning to sort my clothes after coming back from my work. I made it. I organized my closet.  All the clothes were on my bed to sort out. I packed some in my suitcase. I won't be needing those for a while in winter time. It's Thursday, I am off, no Darts today. We have to keep our plans ready to switch to get ours...
