We Not Have Much To lose

 

Sunday -- Beautiful sunny cold morning with 4 C. It is 9.30, I am enjoying my morning tea, walking on my deck  in my back garden. Beautiful view all around. I can see two more than 20 Ft tall trees with mixed colors. One, on my right, of 15 Ft height, is full of orange leaves. All beautiful colors of red, bronze, gold, are scattered on the green of my garden. It is an amazing view to cherish.

Yesterday, after eight months, I went to Dollarama. I have to get some socks. My son was suggesting me to go to Walmart, but in big stores, it takes longer to enter, to find things and to line up in check outs. Small stores are like small communities, easy to interact.

I got pack of socks for four dollars. I picked some chocolates for my grand kids. Hair clips for myself. I took small sanitizer bottle with me to use after I was out of the store. I haven't forgotten to take my mask with me. It didn't take long there so enough time to go to lake after that.

It was beautiful over there. Wild flowers of all colors, purple, red, blue and yellow, all lined up by the side of lake. Fleet of white beautiful Swans marching graciously on the surface of sparkling blue water. It was amazing view to behold, to cherish. God is Great. He goes on giving us opportunities to enjoy our moments.

My laundry was in washer. I do it before having my breakfast so it could be done side by side. It is time to put my clothes in Dryer. I have small load, wont take long. It is 10. 50, my laundry is done. I am in my room with my computer, browsing Facebook messages and also enjoying the scenic view of my front garden from my window.

My daughters must be busy with their own things. Weekend has to be for family of their own. We parents have to keep that in mind. Limit our expectations. Have to be busy with our own activities. 

It is 11.30, time to go to kitchen to make banana shake for my son and for my own self. Never forget to give treats to yourself. It helps, works like oiling your body machine, boosts your mood and activates your body to go forward, to deal with things of the day.

I checked my table calendar, time to have hair shower. I don't wash my hair every day. Not much left, to lose. At our age, we have to be careful with what we have. Same is with our teeth, our physical strength and on top, keep in mind, our nerves not strong enough to deal with issues. 

We have to be careful with our patience level and try to stay away from unnecessary family disputes. Try not to trespass other people's personal territory. Respect everyone's emotions, so things go smooth with the household, we live in. 

Peace and harmony is in everybody's interest. everyone has to pitch in for that. Do your share and forget about others. Let them do what they want. We can not change others, we only can change our own selves. Focus on yourself and leave everyone alone. That works.
