Thought Of The Day

Sunday -- Bright sunny beautiful morning 28 C now, will be 35 later in  the evening. Another hot day, no rain for couple of days. I will be busy  watering  my garden for couple of more days. It  is 9.30 in the morning, I am not done with my breakfast. I was about  to  do my 5 minutes stretch exercises, two of my daughters called me.  The Grimsby  one and the one next to her, who lives in Kent.  They were at furniture village store in Kent. My middle daughter is now  in  London,  to see her daughter. Her daughter lives in "Home". She used  to go to her daughter's place,  usually every  month. This time, it was a long gap ,  because of Covid.  She is  staying  in Kent,  with her sister.  Her daughter's place is in Croydon,  one  hour  away  from Kent. Kent is small beautiful historic town. I was there, last year. My daughter...

Saturday -- Beautiful bright sunny morning 30 C now, will be 33 later in the evening. It is 10.15, I am done with my breakfast, enjoying my morning cup of tea, sitting in the TV lounge.  TV is on, "Fly away", beautiful scenic film is on the screen. I am watching  that, and also enjoying the view of my back garden. Black Squirrel is back for his exercises on my garden wooden fence. Whit butterfly got her new friend, the yellow butterfly. Wild flowers of all colors, red, yellow, white, purple, all smiling in the flower bed at the  back. Grass looking great. So much green all around. It is 10.15, I have to go to my room, to switch on my computer.  My daughters must be calling me. My son just told me that he is going  to the lake. I think,  I will talk to them later. For now, I am getting ready  to go with my son. It is weekend and hot day, Petticoat Creek must be crowded so will be  the Frenchman's Bay.  We dec...

Dear Readers I am not getting  your comments may be because of Glitch Hope everything  will be fine with  you people Friday -- Bright beautiful hot sunny morning 28 C now, will be 38 later  in the afternoon. No rain, couple of more hot days in the forecast.  Yesterday,  I was not feeling good so I changed my routine a bit.  No cooking, just making banana smoothie, emptying the dishwasher and  watering my garden. It worked. I am fine,  now back to normal. We have  to adjust ourselves. Have to be totally aware, what our body demands.  We have to resolve the issues right away. The sooner, the better. Delays  will  complicate the matters. Same is with the people around.Try to  understand the situation  and solve the problem for smooth running. I am ready to make something nice to put on the dinner table for my family. When your inner self is good, nothing bothers you. You are read...

Thursday -- Bright beautiful hot morning 30 C now, will be 37 later in  the  evening. No rain another hot day. I was not feeling 100% and it is just  morning. Something got wrong. I have to look into it. The better the  sooner.  Easy to be mended. Yesterday was busy day for me. Going  to lake, watering the front garden,  busy in kitchen, making some calls,  watching "National" and some of my  Shows on my computer, all are  routine stuff, I did nothing extra.  I think sometimes we don't realize that our body not ready to cope with  our  wish  list. We have to cut down some items from our "Things To Do"  list.  We have to prioritize things for smooth running. We have to push ourselves, but don't have to push to overdo.  This can  backfire, make things difficult to handle, to mend. Listen to your body. Spend time with your own self, to have a feel of your inside, to...

Wednesday -- Hot bright beautiful sunny morning with 31 now, will be  34 later in the afternoon. No rain another hot day. It is Canada Day today.  We used to go to enjoy the festivities at Rotary Park.  Our Senior club used to set up stall every year with seating arrangement  for seniors,  to enjoy  delicious strawberry cream desert.This year nothing  like that. It is different.Things change, time flies.  We have to make use of whatever is available. Don't wait. Just  make  your  day with the  moments in hand.  It is 10.30, My son is going to lake. I am  getting ready to go with him.  We have to avail  any chance to get out, to change our scenery. It helps  us  to  stay away from  thinking negative. Keeps you on positive track. It is 10.45, I am at Petticoat Creek. So many people around here. Enjoying  picnics, cycling, fishing, kayaking and what ...

Tuesday -- Bright beautiful sunny morning 28 C now, will be 34 later.  Summer  is short here in Canada. We don't mind couple of hot days.  From tomorrow  July will start. In mid August, we are not sure, be able to  enjoy  parks and  outdoors.  It will start cooling down and in September, forget outdoor activities.  But we Canadians somehow  manage  and enjoy. No complaints for sub zero temperatures. We find our ways.  We have all sorts of jackets and coats, to get along with whatever is  there.  We check the weather report and take out the particular coat to coordinate  with  the temperature and the weather.  We have coats and boots to go with the snow there. We are  not scared of  black ice, we wont slip and fall, we have different shoes for  that. For heavy  snow, we choose our hooded warm jackets. We know what  we are doing.  We just bund...

Dear Readers, I am not getting your comments, may be it is due to  Glitch.  I am never busy, to write  you back.  Trust me. Monday -- Bright beautiful hot morning 29 C now, will be 33 later.  I start my mornings, writing beautiful most of the times.This is, to give  signal to my mind that everything is good. Nothing to worry about.   Mornings play very important part in our day. We never have to start  our  day with gloomy, long faces. It will ruin our entire day plan.First thing,  after we are out of bed, try to distract yourselves towards something  positive. I grab my computer, switch it on and write anything positive. Like Bright  beautiful morning. No matter, it is burning hot, raining or it is sub zero  temperatures in our Canadian winter days. I don't care.  I have to deliver positive message to my Brain, so it can lead my body  to positive direction and to push it ...

Sunday -- Hot beautiful morning 24 C now, will be 32 later. It is 9.45, I am done with my breakfast, now in my room, talking to my youngest  daughter. She just called me from Reading, England.  She was busy with gardening and cooking. My other daughters from Grimsby and Kent, also  joined for a while. It was already afternoon  there  in England. They were busy with their own things, with their family  matters. They  already left, there was not much to talk anyway.  We have to admire  and appreciate, whatever time our kids able to give to us, to we parents. They have their own family to get busy, to look after. We have to keep  that  in mind. We don't have to push our kids for things, so that, they have  no  choice except to say "No". "No",  is strong word, especially for we parents. It will hurt, will be like an scar, deep down to our heart.Try to avoid to be in that position. It...

Saturday -- Beautiful hot morning 27 C, will be 34 later. Last night was  rain so now a very different scenario, beautiful. It is 10.15, I am sitting  in the  TV lounge, enjoying my morning tea. Everyone else sleeping.  My son is awake. He is watching " Cast Away ". He watched that many times.   It is a good  movie. I also joined. We are skipping, watching only the main parts.There  is  so much going on in my back garden, I can not focus on the movie. Birds enjoying their morning walk. My friend, the White Butterfly  is also  here enjoying with her friends. Brown  Rabbit busy, having his  morning snacks. With so much going on in my back garden, how can I focus on the movie. I am enjoying all that. Yellow and purple wild flowers smiling  in the flower  bed at the back. What a beautiful scenic view to behold.  I am not going to my room. For now I am staying here, in the TV lounge t...

Friday -- Bright beautiful hot morning 27 C now, will be 30 later in the evening. It is 10.15, I am done with my breakfast and with watching the  Headline News. I will empty the dishwasher after.  I am now in my room, sitting with my computer. I have drawn the curtain  down of one of my window. It will make my room cozy. I slightly opened  up  the  other window, to hear the birds and to let the air enter  from outside. Things from outside will change the inside of my room and inside of my  own self too.  Look for things to make your daily routine life, brighter.  Any change  always  ends up into something  positive.  Try to change your scenery. The venue, the location, the atmosphere even   the change of spot at your house, will help you out, to stay away from  thinking negative and to stay on positive track. I never stay long in my room. I keep on shunting from my room t...

Thursday -- Beautiful bright hot morning 20 C now, will be 26 later in  the  evening. My nights are good for now. Having good sleep. Days also good and brighter. No complaints. Life is good. Day before, it was rain so today I don't have to water my front garden.  Watering  plants  and garden  is one of the faucets of happiness for me.  Today I have to find something else. We have to keep looking for things  to get busy and to be happy. My son  is busy with his work so lake trip is doubtful today. We don't have to rely  on others for the things, to find happiness. To make our day, to make our own self happy, comes under our  department. This  is our personal matter. Not anyone else responsibility. Not the responsibility,  even of other creatures.  We don't have to wait for birds and butterflies, to make our day. If they do, it will be cherry on top. We have to make our own sche...

Wednesday -- Beautiful morning. It was rain last evening so not hot today. It is 10.30, slightly cold 17 C. I am in my room with my computer. I opened  my window to connect with the world outside. To hear the birds, to get the  feel of  Breeze. There is so much green all around.  Red flowers from across are smiling,  look happy . My daughter, the middle one,  just called. Nothing special,  it was  brief, just a chit chat.  Our kids are busy with their work and family. We have to appreciate for whatever time they can have for we parents. We have to keep in mind that  they are already under pressure, dealing matters of their own family.  We don't have to add up their pressure. We have to close our "Demands"  file, try to be considerate and be realistic. It is 11. 45, my son is leaving  for lake. I am getting ready to go with him, to walk around.  It is 12.30, I am at Petticoat Cre...

Tuesday -- Mixed cloudy sunny humid hot morning. 31 C now later, will  be 34. Rain is on the way in the afternoon. We people will get some relief after.  Last night was good.  I had good sleep with couple of short usual breaks.  No complaints. I am  happy. We have to accept what is there.W hatever not  there, means, it was  not for you. God knows better, what to allocate.  It is 10.30, I am in my room with my computer. My daughters called me. It  was a conference call. All were there, not my son. He was busy with his  work. My eldest daughter was also missing. She lives in Edmonton. Edmonton is two hours behind the time of that in Toronto and seven hours  behind the time in England.Too early for her. I will call her in the evening.  She has to go to work too.  We have to make calls, keeping in mind that what will be good for the  person at the other end. We have to make calls ...

Monday -- Beautiful mixed sunny cloudy humid morning with 33 C, later  will be 35. Rain is on the way in the evening. I was awake at my usual  time, did my 5 minutes body stretching on my bed room carpet, to get  myself revived. It was not a good night sleep for me. In one of those nights, I use to keep  shunting between my bed, to bathroom and to my table, to take refuge, to be with  my computer. Same episodes in these mornings. My body tries to ignore my commands. I know it will take time to get it back on track, to listen to me. Not my  body's  fault.  But not mine too. This is my age. Not me. Like all other stages, so is old age. It is one of the stages of cycle of life. Not for we Humans but for all other Creatures. Every stage is  unique  with it's own beauty, with  it's own characteristics.  We traveled through the long beautiful journey of our lives,  gathering moments ...

Due to Glitch I am not getting comments  from my Dear Readers. I got some after around two weeks Sunday -- It is hot sunny morning 31 C now , will be 34 later. No chance  of  rain not today, not tomorrow. It was good that I watered my front garden  last evening.  It is 11.45, I am just back from the lake. It was crowded. Lots of people  were there. Some enjoying in water with their boats and Kayaks. Couple  of them were swimming. Some with family, some walking with their dogs.  It was great that people were enjoying, also maintaining the distance. Is is good to be careful. Precaution is always a better option.Water  sparkling  under the sun.Water was deep blue at  some places .  My youngest grandson was awake before I was leaving for the lake.  I made  peanut butter jam sandwich and banana shake for him.   You always feel good to put smile on the faces of the people arou...

Saturday -- Bright beautiful hot humid morning 31 C now, will be 34 later. It is 10. 30, I am in my room with my computer. Today I woke up late, sleep was not good last night.  My son planning to go for his Kayaking. Everyone sleeping. I am getting  ready to go with him. It is hot and I will walk around so have to wear  something light. He will go to Petticoat Creek. It will be crowded and difficult to find  some spot in the shade. I will see. For now I am focusing on getting  ready to go.  We have to avail any chance to change our scenery. It takes usually two hours so I am taking one Granula bar and of course  my  water bottle. I never forget my water bottle. I am all set to walk  around, to enjoy my time alone slot.  It is 11.30, I am at the Creek, my son is busy with setting up his kayak.  I will take the air pump and anything else, he wants to put in the van.  I have car keys wi...

Friday -- Beautiful hot sunny morning 26 C, will be 34 later. I think,  it was  good idea that I watered  my front garden last evening.  I will water  in  the  afternoon  again .  No chances of rain for couple of days. I just checked. God is asking us to  manage on our own for a while. Weather is great for now. It looks breezy.  I am in my room with my computer and with my bedroom windows open.  Trees are shaking their heads, enjoying.The "Twin Towers",  I mean  the  two  tall trees at my next door neighbor's front garden,  I think  rented out it's apartments.  I can hear birds from there.  Border restrictions are now relaxed for the relatives and families so these birds  must be back from the South. It is good to see that things are getting  back  on  track.The atmosphere now looks great, full of life. Beautiful pink Phoenicia smil...

Thursday -- Beautiful calm quiet morning. No rain, no wind. It is 21 C,  will  be hot 30 later. It is 9.45, I am sitting in the TV lounge, watching  Headline  News and also enjoying the view of my back garden. Couple of birds are here for their morning walk. Grass is lush green. White  Butterfly talking to the violet and yellow flowers in the flower bed  at the  back side. Pear tree on the left, is in full bloom. Black Squirrel is busy with his morning exercises on the wooden fence. Everything is like full of life. I can see so much happiness all around.  What a beautiful start of my day. Thank you God for giving me all this. I was up early today. Sometimes my nerve gives me problem, enough  to wake me up. My feet also not good for couple of days. I know this  is all my fault. I am not taking rest and precautions. I can't do that. Not my style. I know it will take time, be with me for a while. Yester...

Wednesday -- Beautiful hot morning 23 C, will be 27 later. It is 10.15, I am  done with my breakfast, now sitting in the TV lounge. News Channel is on. Things are getting better day by day. We still have to show patience.  It will  take  a while for things to be back on track. It is 10.30, I am in my room with my computer. I am also looking through  my window  the b eautiful view of my front garden.Two birds are there,  having  chit chat,  I can hear them. I think they are enjoying their morning  walk and  making  some  plans  for the day. Black Squirrel is also here, busy having his morning snacks. I can see  my  friend, the White butterfly too. All this is enough to make my day.  My neighbor from across,  just came out  with his dog. I think he is taking his dog for a walk. I have my day plan ready. I have to make some calls. I will call my  childhoo...

Tuesday -- Beautiful sunny cold morning 17 C. It is 10.15, I am done with my downstairs chores. Done with my breakfast, with emptying the  dishwasher, making tea for my son and watching the Headline News. Time to enjoy my time alone slot now.  I am sitting in my room with my friend, my computer. I will slightly  open  my windows to have a view of my front garden and also of my  neighborhood.  It is cold but will be fine.  This Covid 19 staying home period, opened up so many windows for me.  I always loved my room but never realized that it can play such an  important part in my life.  It is comfortable and I have everything here whatever I need to get busy,  to spend my time. I mean,  my computer and my writing accessories.That is enough for me. But to be honest, I never paid attention that  I can  enjoy  here my time too.  This staying home period opened up the real as...
