Never Take Life Too seriously

-




It is how we use our leisure time, which can build or destroy our character.

It can help in  making our fortune.

While we wait for a traffic light to change, we can pray, pray of us, for others or for the world peace.

While we wait for an elevator, we can be still for a while.

Take time to think that God is, and that he is still in - charge of the universe.

While we drive or ride to work, we can joyously meditate on that which is true, lovely and positive.

While we do dishes, mow the lawn, we can sing or whistle.

That can add up beauty to our life and also to our fellow beings.

It is nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

When you are talking, you are not learning.

When you listen, you learn.

Temper is far too valuable to loose, so watch yours carefully and you probably won't loose it.

Be nice to people, especially those serve you, and listen to what they have to  say.

    Nowadays, every one is either in a competition with each other or with themselves. We think what we have is not enough for us, we want to have more than what we deserve. Parents are working long hours to fulfil their needs. There is nothing wrong in being active but we must ask ourselves if the amounts of effort we put into our work is worth it. Life is too short and like our Imam Ali (as) says "life is but a shadow of a cloud, the dream of a sleeper". We must remember that this time will never come back. There have been lots of cases when someone argues with somebody and they wait too long to say sorry. Sometimes when someone goes to apologise it can be too late. Don't waste your time waiting, act now.

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
