Home Sweet Home

It's Thursday the 21st of April. I am back in Toronto after winding up my two weeks trip to England. 

Home is home no doubt about that. I am all set. Back to my job at the library to play Darts.

The weather is great, still a bit on the cold side. It is just a single digit below zero. 

Like summer for us in Canada. The grass is lush green in my back garden.

I see some life signals too in the flower bed at the back of my garden. The same in my front garden. The Magnolia tree is about to start budding. 

It will soon be all loaded with light yellow beautiful flowers with a pinkish hue inside. I believe it is always the first one to announce that spring is here. Get ready to celebrate.

It is early morning, and I am done with my breakfast. Everyone left to work in person. My grandson, the middle one, is busy working from home in her room.

I am off today, so I don't have to go to the library. I take the library as my work place. I am sitting sort of in an empty nest. Now I am getting ready to walk to the Second Cup coffee house. It is twenty minutes walk from my place, Chartwell Court in Pickering.

It is 10.30, I am at the Coffee House, enjoying my small coffee and my time alone. We have to structure our lifestyle especially after our retirement.

It helps to make our days. We are retired and still have twenty four hours in our hands to spend. We are masters of our life all the time. Keep that in mind. We can plan whatever we want and how we want to.

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...

Time to take a break

  It is a cold bright morning of the 6th of January. Chances of freezing rain ice pallets later on.  My walk outside is on hold for a while. Safety is a priority for everyone. We have to be extra careful at the later stages of our life. It looks like a different scenario with snow all around. The trees are decorated with white powder and loaded with cottony flowers. It is so peaceful, calm and quiet. Winter is the time to take a break. To stay indoors. To focus on your inner self. Time to talk to yourself. To listen to your inner thoughts. Time to take a break from your busy schedules. Every season has its own beauty. Its own identity. We can plan accordingly, to get busy and enjoy our time. We humans are amazing. We can make adjustments with any of our surroundings. Winter is the time to skate to play ice hockey. To plan skiing and ice fishing. It's time to hit the water. It is the time to take a break from hitting roads and trails. We have a different scenario for now. Birds...
