Drops of Happiness

London 
England


My Grade Five school friend 
lives at Finchley Station
She was insisting me to stay at her place for couple of days

I packed my trolley and didn't forget to
pack my computer inside
My daughter picked my trolley to check
it's weight

She was concerned that how will
I manage it in my 2 and a half hours
long journey with three different buses 

She was insisting to drive me to
Norbury station which I didn't agree
We have to manage our things
as much as possible on our own

It is good children ask but if we start
depending on them
they will stay away and stop asking

I started my journey from Thornton Heath
at 10 am and at 12.30 I was at Finchley Station

My another Grade five school friend 
was also at her place from Los Angeles
We three friends of old school timer
had Lunch together

It was a Unique occasion we
talked about everything
It is so relaxing with friends
when we are old these things matter a lot
Our Days are numbered 
slipping away from our Life 

We have to drain every drop of Happiness
from our Today
Thank You God for providing
these Moments I am so Grateful to You

    Didn't I tell you all that MY Smile is amazing!! Her daughter was concerned about her comfort and yet she decided not to worry her. No wonder she has so many friends and well wishers

    Thank you Smile

    @ mrizvi: Please read and you will know how much you are missing

    You are truly having a very enjoyable time. I noticed that you mentioned about packing your computer. I am assuming that you lugged it with you for two and half hours of arduous journey because of myself and your other readers. I am very much in debt of you for being so generous with your writings.

    Thank you and take care

    What an inspiring way to have a fantastic day. For a no. of people, they would have stayed in bed, watch TV, complain about the weather (too cold, too hot, too rainy, too cloudy ....), or just yell at the kids. You did completely the opposite. And that is the way we all should be living our life.

    MY Smile is simply awesome. They should ask you to come to BBC so many more can learn from the way you do things

    @ Karen: Smile does not belong to you only. She is mine too

    Dear Madam Smile, it is so nice of you that you are enjoying your days in London. I showed your blog to my coworkers at my 2nd job today. They could not believe it. They asked me to show them your last blogs also. We have so much to learn from you.

    @ mrizvi: Please read these blogs

    Will you be writing your blog today? I was hoping not to bother you but I am addicted to these blogs. The daily diet of good writing and message that you provide to me and other readers is amazingly good.

    Sorry for being selfish

    Just a friendly note to the readers family. Our Smile is on holidays. I know we all want to see her blogs but let us be patient and don't put undue demands on her

  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
