It is snowing

 It was just a couple of days ago that there were no snow banks by the roadsides. 

The walkway was all cleared. Not muddy, no icy patches. I was happy with my outside walks back on track. Not anymore.

Things have changed. It started snowing again. Flurries, blowing snow with wind gusts around 50 km. It looks, my walks will now be on hold for some time.

We have to use whatever chances we get to make our days. We don't know what will be coming in the days ahead. Don't have to wait for tomorrow. Just do it.

It is Sunday, I have no chance to get out. Snow everywhere. The grass in my front and back gardens are gone back under white blankets. The glass top of my steel garden table is loaded with a thick sheet of ice.

White cushion is back on my red garden chair. The red wooden bench in my front garden is loaded with snow too. It is the middle of March and snow is not going anywhere soon.

I have to find things to get busy at home. I checked my table calendar. It is time for my hair wash. I have to change my bed sheets and do some laundry too.

 I think it is more than enough to make my day. We have to take whatever is there with patience and grace. Things keep on changing. We have to accept it. Just switch your plans. Life will all be good.

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 windy cold day with 19 C below zero feels 25 C below. Not usual for Toronto.  Gusts are around 60 km. It is not good to go for a walk. The snow is still around. The walkways are usually cleared off. I think there will still be some icy patches on the way because of the weather condition. I will skip my walk today. Whatever is there is there. Have to accept We always have our plan “ B” ready to switch. I just checked my table calendar. I have to do my hair wash. I also have to wash my clothes. Just a small load of laundry. I have to make some calls too. I think I have enough to get busy indoors. I will spend some time in my kitchen making something for my family to put at the dinner time. I am happy. Nothing to worry about. I have enough to make my day. My grandson, the youngest one, just came to my room to let me know that he will go to gym in about half an hour. He told me to drop anywhere on the way. So nice of him. I quickly switched my plans from plan “ B “ to pla...

I am at Town Centre

  The snow storm is done for a while. Things are back to normal. Roads are busy.  Traffic is as usual that I can see from my window. Yesterday things were really bad. I went to attend the funeral of someone's father in the community. The front right side of our car was stuck in a ditch. I was sitting in front on that side. I had to get out from the driver's side of the door. I made it. By the Grace of God. Someone from the community dropped us home. We had to call Canadian Tire for tow truck service. It was too busy due to the weather so many calls to attend for them. It took all day to get the car back on our driveway. Thank God no damage was done. We were in one piece and so was our car. Done is done anyway. It is 10.30 in the morning. Everyone left for work. I am sitting on an empty nest. Just my eldest grandson is working from home. He is busy with his meetings and computer. It's Tuesday so I don't have to go to work. No Darts today. All sorts of grey green and blue...
