White fence by roadside

 May be an image of cake

It's nearly mid January wintry days and still not much snow around. 

I see only silver linings on the walkways and a low white fence of snow by the roadside.

It is the beauty of Toronto that snow here doesn't stay long. I remember the winter in Ottawa. I used to live there around thirty years ago.

Winter was tough over there. Ice used to float on the surface of water even in the month of May. Snow piled up all around the city and looked like a hillock.

We had to deal with the frozen doors of cars and to start also used to be a challenge. Here in Toronto we don't have to deal with such problems.

Today the weather is nice. It is still cold and windy. There are no icy patches, that is enough to go for a walk. We have to make use of the available circumstances.

Things change, so is life. Our health will not be the same as today. Anything might happen at any age God forbid. We can't predict what will be in the coming days.

We have to make our present, our today. Take one day at a time. Too much worry about tomorrow spoils our today.

Make your time in hand. Moments keep on slipping for never to come back. Keep that in mind.

I am getting ready for my walk to the coffee house. Ready to get out to change my scenery. To enjoy my time outside. To enjoy the breeze and coffee later on.

We are the commander of our life. Everything is in our hands. We are in charge of making or ruining our time. It all depends on us how we take our life. Choices are ours. We have to make decisions.

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...

White Cottony Flowers

  It's a cloudy morning, hazy sky. The sun has taken a break today I think. It has been snowing since night.  The weather channel predicted that it would snow all day long. I can see a thick slab of ice on the glass top of my steel garden table. The red garden chair my son got from the Canadian Tire store years ago is loaded with ice. Lush green grass in my back garden is covered under a thick white blanket. The situation is the same with my front garden. The red wooden bench is half embedded under snow and loaded with a thick white cushion. The trees around look like skeletons decorated with white powder. The white Cottony like flowers making the trees beautiful. It is an amazing atmosphere to behold. Every season is unique with its own beauty. So is the winter. It is so calm and peaceful all around. The cars on the driveways in my neighborhood are standing waiting for orders to move. I can't see anyone outside. I think people are enjoying their time indoors with their famili...

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...
