Celebrate Your Company

I posted my Blog in the morning
I was still lying down in my bed
while two lines clicked my Mind

Those two lines were
Enjoy the Days of Life
You have in Hand
it made my Day

I had my breakfast of hot oatmeal cereal
fried egg with orange juice
had shower and ready to roll on
London streets

Top up my Oyster for 10 pounds
now on  Bus # 250 to Brixton station
from there on Bus # 3  passing through
Thames  --  Parliaments Square
Big Ben and Trafalgar 
today not so hot after 3 days of
Heat wave 

I am sitting at Trafalgar square nearby
pigeons are roaming around
an artist drawing sketches with
colorful chalks
people are taking pictures
such a colorful atmosphere

Just across Trafalgar is
National Gallery of Arts
I am enjoying the beautiful
Magnificent Paintings

Now I am in my favorite
Garfunkel Restaurant 
having fish and chips cost 12.50 pounds
and apple crumble with vanilla ice cream
cost me 5.95 pounds
I am celebrating my company
believe me it was my Day

    Smile, You are so great for remembering your new readers, eventhough we have just joined your readers family. Sorry it made me sad I could not comment on your post yesterday, I was not near a computer and believe me, my day felt strange as if something was missing. Your post today is personal and I can relate to it, I never thought of days as numbered, I only thought of how to survive another day. Thank you for changing my opinion.

    Dear Smile,

    I love how your blog posts always have a lesson buried in there. We should all make time for ourselves, even I forget this as a busy mother. You are such inspiration, you do everything alone but you are not lonely, and I think that is so important. I wish I knew more people like you in my life.

    Smile,

    I am selfish for this request, you seem as if you are so busy travelling here and there, seeing family, but I can't help want to read more of your work. Tell me you will write a book someday, about your past and present travels.

    Dear Madam Smile, you give us so many ideas to go through our life. I told some of my co-workers in my first job and they could not believe it. Thank you

    @mrizvi: Please don't be offended but you should read.

    It is a good thing that I came across your blog. It gives me a lot of inspiration. It also is somewhat humbling for me because though I have tried it, I cannot do all these things on my own. I wish I have your energy and mental strength

    @mrizvi: you don't know what you are missing. Please read

    My Smile is awesome. She takes the time to write for her readers' family every day. Not just that, she acknowledges each and every one of them, including mrizvi

    @ Batman: I think Smile's only son may have left because of work. I agree with you though, that it would have been better for him to stay with our Smile so he could enjoy more

    @ mrizvi: Please start reading. Even the multilingual readers are asking you to do that

    I love the headings for these blogs. The author is perhaps a marketing wizard

  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
