Activity is Our Main Companion

There was a time I just did not like boring activities but looking around seniors who are in a situation where they cannot work I have begun to like them and look forward to the day with a spring in my step. It is pathetic to see these seniorsm  some who cannot walk, some have memory loss, some have poor eye sight and some who cannot hear.  I now dread at the situation I was in where I just did not like work but not any more.  Whatever work there is to do I do it with a happy tune.

It was her milestone birthday. I was invited. I had not visited her house in years. In the good old days we both went shopping for plants as we shared this interest. Her garden was lush green with  brilliant colours all around. We had a healthy competition.  I have continued to pay attention to my garden but apparently she has neglected it wholesale

May be her ill health has made her withdraw from activity but it is our activity that keeps us going. She is not bedridden and has a full time maid.

I did not comment but surely she could read my thoughts. I wish I could just get her back into gardening which has always been her passion. I felt that there was more to it than meets the eye. No matter how ill one is one could atleast have a pot or two that could be maintained with help from the maid

I did not ask her why she had lost interest – totally lost – as her garden looked devastated and neglected. This attitude I know will worsen her health and I only hope better sense will prevail and her family atleast will gourd her into activity.

Activity is our companion and when one is fully occupied not having people round is never missed.

    • I really agree with you. When i have nothing to do then that is the moments i truly miss people around me. Beings active usually distracts me and happiness come out of activities which you love.

    • Activity truly i is our main companion. When we tend to be less busy, we will would like to have something doing especially if we find it difficult to sleep. Like my father always does. If he comes back from work and has nothing to do, he tend to do something like preparing leaves that would be used for preparing meal. When you ask him why he's doing it, he will tell you that he has to be busy with something.
      Activity is our main companion in the sense that whenever we are bored at home or, we tend to do something. I also have an anty that works from Monday to Friday. On Saturdays when she stays at home, she would like to water all her flowers and also cut them to her best of her knowledge. She will tell you she needs to keep herself busy hence boredom will kill her. Same applies to me, whenever I have nothing to do and I don't feel like reading, I pick up my book and start writing anything that enters my head. If I get tired of writing, I may go outside to discuss that is if someone is out but if there's none, I will find something doing like calculating something and thinking about the future and calculating how much in my bank and how much people are owing me. This to an extent cure my boredom

      • The main thing is that we must enjoy what we are doing. I have started to enjoy those routine chores that I would get bored doing them.

    • Yes man 's whole life is the chain of different activities since birth to cradle. Work be irksome or useful but full of activities regardless of its advantages and disadvantages.

      Actually, when somebody have time a lot he or she thinks what to to in extra time is a problem of everyone if some one is without day and night schedule.

      Creative activity is the best companion of man on earth beaus creative activity links the writer's link with the readers and peoples in the real sense.

      To pass time a big problem. To pass time always choose creative and positive activity that be useful for the society and future generation.

      Or play any game in extra time because it makes our health sound and makes every part of our body active and sound. Therefore it is said that a sound mind rests in a sound body.

      My activity in extra time is to improvise sonnets, odes and song I think these are my best companions in my lone and is the main source of my heart and mind and spirit pleasure.
