Sitting on an empty nest

 

 

 March 22nd 2025


Weather is tricky, too windy, 56 km gusts. I see some flurries too from my window. I am done with my breakfast, planning to go for my walk. I think it is not safe for walks. 

At our age we have to be more careful with our body. We can’t afford falls. It will be done for the rest of the days of our life. Our body is not so strong to handle any such thing. Safety is important at any age. It has to be top priority at our age.

My son has to go with his wife. He offered to give me a ride. Lucky me. It's 11.15, I am at Tim Hortons. This is like my second home. I am working three days a week, going to the library to play Darts. 

I take library like my work place, my office. After we are retired, we have to trick ourselves. It works well to keep our mind on the right track. Helps to keep ourselves away from thinking negatives.

Mind and body are interconnected, like two in one. We take care of one of them, the other one will work well too. Healthy mind will take care of our body. No worries after that.

In the early days of life, we are busy with school and work. We have no time to think about negativity or anything else. We are too busy with our things, our work and with our new family life. Our family matters keep us busy. No time for anything else.

At the later stages of life, things change. Kids leave to start their own families. They get busy with their own things. We find ourselves now sitting in an empty nest.

This is the new era of life with a totally different scenario. We have to get used to our new life. Have to find things to get busy. Try to find hobbies to enjoy this stage of your life. I call it our golden era.

We are done with all of our responsibilities. No work pressure. Done with resolving our family issues. This is our own time. We can do whatever we want. 

Do whatever you like taking health and safety into account. We are answerable to no one except to God Almighty. Keep planning to enjoy with the golden days of your life.
