Thought Of The Day

  Friday -- Beautiful bright sunny morning 17 C, will be 29 later in the afternoon. It is 9.30, I am busy in my kitchen with my breakfast preparation. I am a bit late today, to start my day. Nothing wrong with my sleep. It is my back, giving me problems again. I had to do my stretch exercises on my bedroom carpet. I do that every morning but couple of more minutes today for my back. Anyway, I am now all set to start my day. Just bring it on. My breakfast done. I am enjoying my tea, sitting in my room with my computer, talking to my daughters. It is a group call. All my three daughters joined. My youngest one started and others joined.  We have to realize,  it is always the first call, the first step, which matters the most. Think twice before taking your steps. We have to be aware of the direction. Our steps can lead us to anywhere.  Before starting  things, have to be aware of the outcome and results. Anything not done properly or started abruptly, results into...

  Thursday -- Beautiful mixed sunny cloudy morning 21 C, will be 35 later in the evening. It is 9.30, I am sitting in TV lounge. News Channel is on. Things getting better, Covid cases going down every day. Schools to be opened in mid September. After long time, now we see light, I think this is end of tunnel.  I am looking the view of my back garden too, through the big glass panel, in front. Couple of birds enjoying their morning walks, having chit chat too. Black Squirrel is back to his Gym. He is busy with his exercises on the wooden fence of my garden.  Things getting back on track.  We never have to lose hope. Always hope for the good. It helps, to move forward, to think positive. Never lose patience. Patience is virtue, wins in all circumstances.Things take time, happen in due course. You wont get results overnight. We have to learn to wait, to stay calm and to be relaxed.  Try to distract yourself from the project, which is already in progress. Sometimes ...

  Wednesday -- Bright beautiful morning 17 C, will be 22 later in the afternoon. Rain is predicted in the evening. August nearly done, September is just around the corner.  Weather is changing.   Hot days of 30 C plus, are over.  I don't have to water my  garden, so often, during the day.  My backyard is under transformation. It will soon be converted into a beautiful garden. I hope so. Hope is everything. We don't have to lose that, ever.  It is 9.30, I am done with my breakfast, enjoying my tea, sitting in my back garden, enjoying  my newly  built deck.  I grabbed one of the steel chair of my garden furniture, in the shade. My favorite steel table with glass top, is beside me, to put my cup of tea there. I am all set to enjoy my time. I can see green all around. It is a cozy atmosphere. I can feel the soft cool breeze on my face. This is enough to stir up the quiet atmosphere around, making trees to whisper, to smile. Anyone can make a...

  Tuesday -- Beautiful sunny morning 22 C, will be 29 later in the afternoon. It is 9.30, I am done with my breakfast, having my morning tea, sitting in TV lounge. Sports Channel is on. Nowadays Hockey and Basketball Play off season is going on.  Toronto Maple Leaf team is out, still people are hooked with the season. Next favorite is the Baseball season games. Same scenario, our Toronto Blue Jays won the championship years back in 1993, still people love to watch. It is called "Ball game".  Our Basketball team,  "Toronto Raptors", is relatively new. Established in 1995, winning most of the games. Last year won the Championship, still not as favorite as others.  Hard work always pays off. One day they will get their spot in people's heart. For the last couple of weeks, we are experiencing record hot days, here in Canada. I think this is all because of climate change scenario. Summer not used to be so long with such record temperatures. I had to water more often,...

  Monday -- Bright beautiful sunny morning 23 C will be 37 later in the afternoon. It looks like a usual summer morning with sun in full bloom. Life is the same with minor changes. We have to make it exciting, have to give colors, to make our life wonderful. No Genie will come to our rescue. It happens only in Fairy tales, not in real life. Don't have to wait for miracles. We have to take it as our duty to divert our mind towards, thinking something positive. Distract ourselves from negatives thoughts. Mornings are the key, face of our days, which ultimately are compiled into the story books of our lives. We have to start our day with anything, which can put smile on our faces to brighten our day. Before starting your day, get your body ready for the day. Do some light exercise, depending, what goes with your body. Don't have to overdo. Still do something to give a wake up call to your body, to stimulate your mind, to take actions to direct your body, to do things for the day. ...

  Sunday -- Beautiful sunny morning 20 C, will be 37 later in the evening. Last night was rain, weather still the same, no change, still hot. It is 9.30, I am done with my breakfast,  walking around on my newly built deck and watering the grass seeds. Sun is in full bloom so I have to water it more often today.  It is 10.15, I am in my room with my computer switched on. I have six monthly Vitamin D injection appointment today. This will be my first face off with anyone in this Covid period. I am all set with my mask and injection.  For now I am enjoying my time, sitting in my room, looking through the window, the view of the world outside. Last night I watered my front garden, it paid off. My garden is lush green.  Red wooden bench, on the left adding up color and beauty, like cherry on top.  Couple of birds enjoying their morning walks, having chit chat too, may be making plans for some party or get together.  White Butterfly is also around. She is al...

  Saturday -- Bright beautiful sunny morning 22 C, will be 35 later in the afternoon. It is 9.30, I am busy in kitchen, making my breakfast. My oatmeal porridge and stir fried egg. I already switched on kettle to fill my glass with warm water, also to make my tea. I take water before starting my breakfast. It is 10.15, I am done with my breakfast, sitting in TV lounge, enjoying my tea. News Channel is on. I am watching the Headlines, also looking the view of my renovated backyard. This will be turned into a beautiful garden soon. I am thinking positive and waiting for the bright future ahead. Let's see,  how long, it  will take to fulfill my dream. I am walking on my newly built deck for now, to have a feel of the changed atmosphere and to inhale the morning breeze. My friend, the White Butterfly is enjoying her time here too. Black Squirrel is here to do his exercises on the wooden fence.  Things are changing, going into positive direction.  We have to push our...

  Friday -- Beautiful sunny morning 20 C, will be 35 later in the evening. It is 10.15, I started my morning a bit late. My sleep nowadays, is like seesaw, sort of tricky and unpredictable. We have to accept whatever is there. I know at my age, my body is dealing with more than half a century old machinery. What you expect out of that. Take it whatever is there and relax. I am done with my Breakfast, enjoying my tea in the TV lounge. Sports Channel is on. My son is busy with his Meetings. I am watching the view of my backyard through the big glass panel in front. I now started getting familiar with my renovated backyard with a trust that it will be transformed soon into a beautiful garden with full of life. It is 11.15, I am in my room, my computer is in front. I will switch it on to connect with my loved ones. Curtains of my room are drawn down, to give a cozy atmosphere, for me to get relaxed. I still let a slit left opened to be connected with the world outside. I am now all set...

  Wednesday -- Beautiful sunny morning 17 C, will be 23 later in the afternoon. It is 10.15, I am done with my breakfast, doing laundry, enjoying my morning tea, sitting in the TV lounge. My son busy with his meeting so  TV is on mute . I am going through the Headline News. My clothes are in Dryer.  I start my laundry before having my breakfast. It will be done soon. I wont be stuck for the whole day, will be free to do other things. I checked my table calendar. Have to do my hair color tomorrow. It is good to plan things beforehand. In mornings, we have to be aware of our plans for the day, to get ourselves busy. Living in day tight compartment resolves so many issues. Helps us away from thinking negative. Negative thoughts are killers for our mind as well as for our body.  When we are retired, it is tough, tricky to sort out our day schedule. Sitting with whole bucket of twenty four hours, don't know, where to spend. What to be done out of all this. Knowing that, w...

  Tuesday -- Beautiful sunny morning 17 C, will be 24 later in the afternoon. Weather is changing, getting colder day by day. It is 9.15, I am done with my breakfast, sitting in TV lounge  enjoying my morning tea. Watching the headline News, also looking at the view of my back garden.  It all changed, looks no more like a garden anymore.  Workers are busy to renovate, to uplift it's existing outlook. Small tractor is running up and down with bunch of people around. I can't see birds, Butterflies, squirrels. When machines are there, it disrupts the atmosphere, the peace, the harmony.  Things change all around.  My pear tree on the left, is no more there. It was getting old, not able to handle, to tackle his day to day activities. He was no more hale and hearty, like couple of years back. No more full of life. Everybody has his time to leave the stage, to make space for others. Nothing wrong with that.  We gave contract to the people, they promised to gi...

  Monday -- Beautiful morning 18 C, will be 30 later in the afternoon. August is running out, September is getting closer. Things are changing slowly for we Canadians. Now our mornings are below 20 C and afternoons not so hot like 42 C of the last week.  We are all set for our September weather. Just bring it on. We already learned our lessons to get along and how to enjoy with whatever we can. For now we are busy with enjoying our summer. We know that not many days left. We have to bundle up soon. It is 10.15, I am in my room. My computer is switched on. Not much activity there. Not many messages to go through. My daughters are busy with their family matters. They messaged me to give updates. Schools are about to open, they have to finalize couple of things before. My daughter, the middle one is back from Scotland. She called me from Grimsby.  She was busy with setting things up, doing laundry, cleaning and other such day to day matters. After coming back from trips, we ...

  Sunday -- Beautiful mixed sunny cloudy morning 20 C, will be 31 later in the afternoon. Rain is on the way. It is 8.45, I am in my kitchen. My daughter from Kent called. She is looking for her another car. She was sharing her updates. My youngest daughter from Reading also joined and my son too. I am busy with making my breakfast and enjoying their chit chat.  You feel good to know that your kids are getting along. We don't have to make any effort to keep them connected. They are gone now, must be busy with their own family matters. My son is having breakfast. I am done, now having tea, sitting in the TV lounge.  Beautiful view of my back garden, I am enjoying that through the big glass in front. Brown Rabbit having his morning snacks. Pear tree on the left, not looking good. I think, now getting old. Not enough energy left, to tackle his day to day matters.  Beautiful wild flowers of so many colors, Yellow, Red, Purple and White, are scattered around, making the a...

  Saturday -- Beautiful sunny morning 19 C will be 33 later in the afternoon. It is 9.15, I have the whole day to do things, whatever I want. Mornings are like clean slate. We are at liberty to write anything on, paint any picture, to beautify our day.  I am done with my breakfast, enjoying morning tea, sitting in my TV lounge. Sports Channel is on. My son watching Highlights of some Hockey game. Toronto Maple Leaf team is out but Playoff season is on. I am watching that and also enjoying the beautiful view of my back garden.  My youngest daughter just called from Reading. She loves gardening, showing me her beautiful flowers of orange, yellow, purple white and of so many other colors. She was proudly showing her kitchen garden plants. Full of blooming tomatoes, cucumbers, Mint and other Herbs. It was very hot in England, yesterday was thunder, I don't know what is the weather today. May be they got some relief. Most of the places, there is no AC, so tough to handle hot d...

  Friday -- Beautiful sunny hot morning 23 C, will be 33 later in the evening. These are couple of  hot days for we Canadians. To enjoy our short summer period, to get out, to go to lakes. August is running out, September is just around the corner. We have to make use of our time in hand. We are aware of that. We are doing whatever we can. Hitting the roads and visiting the lakeside like rituals.   It is 9.15, I am done with my five minutes exercises. My computer is on for me, to browse the favorite sites. My Blog site is the first one, to check the number of hits. These hits are very important, denote each of my Reader. Comments on my Blog are like cherry on top, like direct lines, to connect with my Readers Family. Next is my Facebook site, to get aware of, that how many of my friends and family member are eager to connect.Their messages matter a lot to me. I have to answer them back first thing after having my breakfast. Breakfast is like giving treats to my body,...
