I am enjoying my walk

 

It is 10 in the morning. Beautiful sunny day bright morning. The weather is also great. 

It is 2 C below zero, feels like 8 below. I can see from my window that the walkway looks clear.

I have to make some calls after that I will try my luck to go for my walk. I have to call my sister-in -law back home. 

Phone calls to your loved ones help to make your day. My husband passed away decades ago. I am still connected with his family members. My daughters call me every time around noon. They go back from work at that time.

They are five hours ahead of my time in Toronto. I have to go to England early next month. One of my granddaughters is to be married.

I am excited for my trip to see three of my daughters, my grand kids, my sister and so many other loved ones. My eldest daughter will also be coming from Edmonton to attend the wedding ceremony.

I feel lucky to see all of my family. I am happy, still under pressure. I am having mixed emotions, I think. Travel at the later stages of life is a bit tricky.

Our body is not so strong to handle extra pressure. Our nerves are not the same to let us be calm and take things easy. To plan, to pack the stuff we will be needing there is too much to handle.

Our room, our bed, everything will not be the same.
This all is more than enough to make our sleep disturbed.

We are already going through much at our own place due to the age factor. So many things start coming up with age.

Now with the change of place I don't know what to deal with over there. My daughters are excited to see me. I took my suitcase out from the basement storage.

I will start putting things in it. There is enough time. I have my packing list of things I will be needing over there. I think packing won't be a problem. Let's see.

For now I switch my mind from my trip to England to my trip to walk to the Second Cup coffee house. We have to focus on the time in hand. I am all set. I am going from the side door.

The front door is a bit tricky. I can't handle that. I don't want to disturb my grandson. The eldest one is home busy working online. It is good to tackle things on our own. It helps to boost our will power.

It is 11.45, I am at the Coffee House enjoying my coffee. Shoppers Drug Mart store is nearby. I will go there after to get my skin moisturizing lotion.

The Freshco grocery store is next to it. I will go there too to get my favorite stuff from there. I am done with all that now going back.

A small overhead bridge is on the way to my home. The trans Canada train is passing under the bridge . Lucky me.

I have been fascinated by trains since my childhood. I stopped to have a feel of that. Time alone is a sort of meditation. 

We need some time for our own selves once a while. Try that. You will feel great.
