Thought Of The Day

It is Thursday hot sunny morning 24 C feels like 30 C. Just couple of days  back, it was 11 C. It is 9.15 morning. I am walking on my driveway  enjoying  the  scenic atmosphere around. Flowers still smiling from my neighbor's  front garden. Red wooden bench shining at my front garden. It was  raining  last week so  g rass is lush green.  White Butterfly was busy talking to flowers, now resting  for a while  on the grass.  I am waiting for my friend, she will pick me up for the Community Meeting. Meeting will start at 9.30, it is 15 minutes away after that another one will  be  at Altona, two more will be near Pickering Town Centre.  All the Meetings will be done by 3 pm. I will be back home, my grandsons,  Master Golden and Master Slurpee will be back by then. I will enjoy their  company.  Whenever I look at the  Basketball Pole outside my house. It reminds me...

It is Wednesday bright sunny, 18 C, weather is great, still summer. It is 9.15, beautiful morning. I am waiting for my friend to pick me up for community  meeting. For now I am walking around my driveway, enjoying the scenic view. Dark pink Bougainvillea flowers smiling on one of the pots on my front  garden.  Rose pink, red and yellow flowers look happy on one of my  neighbor's Front  Garden. The loner Red rose looks shy, trying to smile  from behind in the corner. I can hear couple of birds from the Twin Tower apartments. I mean from  the twin trees on my next door neighbor's front yard. It was quiet for a  while.  I am happy that the apartments are now rented out. They are talking about something in a bit loud voice but their tone is not  harsh, may be they are having some sort of small gathering, may be they  are  also busy in their own community meetings. One black bird is flying  ove...

It is Tuesday morning bright beautiful and sunny. After 2 days of rain and  cloudy  hazy weather, it is great today for a change.  Today I have to go to  community meeting, it is to be started at  9.30. It is 9.15 morning, 18 C, I am on my driveway, waiting for  my friend. She  will pick me up.  For now I am enjoying the beautiful atmosphere around.  Leaves  of all shapes and colors are all around me. All shades of green,  yellow,  brown and gold. Morning dew sparkling like white pearls on  the  dark pink  flowers of Bougainvillea. Pearls are scattered all over my front garden, on the green grass, on leaves,  everywhere.  It looks that today God wants to reward His Kingdom.  No doubt He loves  All of His Creatures Big and Small.  Thank You God. My friend's black car is here I have to go. I have my small black bag with  me.  This is from my Son's w...

I enjoy every bit of it. These are pillars of my life,  no doubt in that. My family, My friends, My com...

It is beautiful Saturday morning 12 C, it is September, we know that winter  is just around the corner. We live in Canada, we are ready for everything  just  bring it on.  We know that temperature is going to dip to sub zero  any  time soon. No problem with that, we are tough. We know how to tackle. Nothing stops  here.  It is Canada my Dear. Anyway my next week will be very busy with  community  meetings. So many in different locations, nearly it will be  all day and whole week long. I divide my time slot, a piece for everything. This gives me, flavor and variety  of  everything to enjoy. I never get bored because of all that.  For me it is like  a full five course meal. A menu, to have a taste of  everything. My Senior Club, My library, My family, which not includes only my four Daughters and my only Son. My family comprises of my two brothers, my three  sisters. Beside t...

It is Saturday morning, summer is gone, winter is just around the corner  so mornings not so sunny not so bright still temperature is in plus, not  below  zero. that is more than enough, it is 14 C now.

All these calls were  more than  enough  to brighten my day.  Today I am planning to go to Pickering Town Centre. I have to buy couple  of  stoles for myself, yes for myself.

It is Sunday morning bright but cold 8 C, how long will be summer, it  is  over  now. Enough is enough. We need jackets and sweaters now.  Yesterday  was  11 C, I walked to Tim Horton.  My Youngest joined me there, afterwards, to have his treats, Fries and  Slurpee. It was from my pocket. Father has to note it down and doesn't  have to yell at Niklas to get treats for himself. It is early morning everyone sleeping, I am in my room with my computer,  writing my Blog. I checked messages on my Facebook, there was none from my Daughters. They must be busy with their families.  I got only one message on my Facebook.

I will call him today.  I usually don't make calls on weekends.We have to keep in mind that  everyone must be busy wit...

She was very upset out of all this, about to leave the club. She wanted to take some action for that. I talked to her to cool her down. I was in England when all this happened. I told her to take it easy. I still  remember, my Mom used to say that if you throw stone in mud. You  will get it back to get yourself dirty too. It looked that she agreed to me but I have to talk her more. She needs moral support. ...
