Do Not Burn The Bridges

-
















I am going to London England
to see my daughters
England is not like North America
where we have liberty to enjoy
3 -- 4 washrooms and
spacious houses

In London not so much space
to live and share
in three bedroom houses
one Box room
and 2 rooms one called master bedroom
not big enough

I have to adjust myself in that
Boxroom from my present big
spacious room

when I go there
I keep in my mind to share 
one bathroom with a family of 5
Mornings are busy as kids and parents
have to go to work and school
in England schools are open

I will try to avoid the morning rush hours
manage my time and keep
myself inside that Box room
I try not to use washroom until all are gone
I want to keep doors open 
for my next visit

I do not want to Burn Bridges
we have to change ourselves
and adjust to fit in
It is not their problem to fit in
We Parents have the responsibility
to keep the connection alive

 they don't have time and desire
so be patient and try not to be hard

    Hey Smile, did not realize that you are living in a mansion :-) Sounds like that transitioning to a smaller "boxroom" will be a stretch.

    I did enjoy how you wrote about your trip and made it a fun read. I guess I should not be surprised anymore as you always put on the positive lens on this

    PS: have fun

    I did not realize that you are visiting your children overseas. I am not thinking that I put you in a lot of undue stress to keep writing. These blogs help me so hence I was requesting it - as someone said, I was being selfish.

    Thanks again for writing it. Even on your travel day

    Dave

  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
