Talking from the other side of planet

 

Sunday -- Beautiful sunny morning with 5 C below zero. Below zero is normal at this time of year for here in Canada. No rain, no snow. That is good enough to enjoy, to get out. We have to take whatever is there. Don't have to wait for tomorrow. 

We never know what will be the next. Things change so quickly. Same is our health. It doesn't matter, what age we are passing through during the cycle of our life. Things can happen at any age, at any time. May be, God forbid, we not able to enjoy our normal routines.

We have to avail and make use of any opportunity available, at the moment. Done is done. We can not turn the page. Future, we don't know. The moment in hand, is everything, we have.

Anyway I checked my table calendar. Today have to wash my hair. I don't do that every day. Not much hair left. We have to be careful with whatever is left, at our age. I did my laundry yesterday. It was due too. This calendar directs me to carry on my " Things to do " time table. Helps me out to keep track.

It is 11.30, I am done with my hair. It is time to be in my kitchen to make banana shake for my son and for my own self too. We never have to forget to give treats to our body otherwise it wont cooperate, wont listen to carry on our day plan. 

Everything works on give and take system. Same is with relationships. Nothing works one sided. I am planning to make stir fried Zucchini, to put on the dinner table for my family. 

We have to contribute in the household, we live in. This is very important specially when we are retired. At that time, we have lots of time in hand and nothing to do much. Try to get busy with anything. Find hobbies. Try to live in day tight compartment.

It boosts our confidence, gives power to move on. Helps to handle routine matters in our lives. To get busy with whatever you can, always pays off. Leaves no space for negative thoughts. Helps us to stay positive. 

It is 12.30, I am in my room with my computer, browsing Facebook messages. My Grade five childhood friend, writes to me from Perth every day. She lives in different time zone. Twenty four hours ahead of my time in Toronto. Living on the other side of the planet, still we are able to share our routine things.

My daughter, the middle one is calling me from Grimsby. Day is nearly done at her place. They are five hours ahead of my time in Toronto. England is under lockdown but in Christmas, they can be with three families. We have to follow directives to stay safe. Have to do whatever is required.
