Sometimes Better to take Exit

 

Friday -- Beautiful cold cloudy morning with 5 C below zero. It looks, there was rain early morning. I can see it's traces on driveways and road around. Snow is still here but the amount of the white stuff looks diminishing day by day. Still a lot. Sun peeping out from the under, smiling through the steel grey sheets. 

The green grass is still with yellowish tinge but looks full of life. The skeleton trees around look confident with hope and thinking of days ahead. I think they got some assurance that it is just a matter of time. Things will change after couple of weeks.

All credit goes to Sun the Great. His smiling face was able to make all the difference. Changed entire outlook of the atmosphere. Anyone can make a difference, can put smile on the faces around. 

It is 10.30, I am done with my breakfast, sitting in my room. My computer is in front. Blinds of my windows are drawn up. Sun rays trying to enter through the windows, to make my room brighter. I am enjoying all that and also browsing my Facebook messages to connect with family and friends. 

Yesterday, I had an experience to walk on the frozen lake. I was wearing my regular Joggers, with no plans to do that but credit goes to my sun. He pushed me for that and I am always ready to go for experiences. I made it. My son was holding my hand for a while. My youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy was also there. 

I didn't stay long on the surface of the lake. I left father and son alone to enjoy their time together. Sometimes it is better, for we parents to take an exit, to let our kids to enjoy their time with their own family. It will keep our bond with our kids, strong and lead to a long term smooth relationship.

I enjoyed my own time alone slot. Walking around the lake and listening to the melodious music of the water. People were walking with friends, some with dogs. All having social distancing. Following the Directives.
