Pretend to Be Happy

-













Shakespeare says people are like actors 
play their part and leave
We all are actors
Everyone is living alone here
those who pretend to be Happy
are never alone 

If we cry we cry alone when we
laugh whole world laugh with us
practice to be happy
Try to enjoy your own company
you will get used to it 

Now I start my Today's Blog

Today my Son left for Toronto with his
Family his 3 Boys also gone
my two other Daughters went
back to Reading and Grimsby
I am at Thornton Heath with one of
my Daughters
She is busy with her kids and Husband

Today is very quiet so I have to push 
myself to get out
I had shower went to nearby Off License
Shop to get My Day Bus Pass for 4.50 Pounds
Top up my Lycamobile for 5 pounds

In London Transit is costly still very good
I wanted to have a walk so decided to take
Bus # 264  ---  10 minutes away
I like it's Scenic Route it goes through Farm like
Area on a narrow road very long nearly 40 minutes
route to Tooting Broadway

I have no Plans just to roam around
it is very hot and Sunny today
speed within city is 30 miles
Camera everywhere

I am enjoying the beautiful scenic journey
when you are retired you are rich in time
No pressure
My Grade 7th school friend called me
She didn't have my Cell No
she checked from my daughters to get my number

You can not imagine how lucky 
I feel about myself
She called me for tomorrow Day spend Plans
She lives on Regent Street in the
Heart of City Center
I told you when we laugh whole world
laugh with us so
she wants to spend time with me
Thank You God for give me strength
to be Happy and Enjoy my own Company

    thank you so much Smile. This blog gave me a lot of inspiration. I have read it once but will bookmark it and read it again.

    Your readers' family were not exaggerating when they said that you are awesome. As far as I am concerned, you are a therapist

    @mrizvi: You should start reading as well. Also, if you have concerns, you may want to bring it up to Smile also. She is great.

    My Smile is awesome. Her only son and his family left my Smile and yet she was able to overcome this by creating a busy schedule. She does not need anyone to make her happy but can create a happy environment with her positive attitude.

    I wish her son can read some of these blogs

    @mrizvi: Please read and see how these blogs can be so useful

    Dear Smile, this is a beautiful blog. Though you were writing for the gentleman who retired recently but it was good for me too. Even though I am many years away from retirement from my 2 jobs

    @ mrizvi: Please read today's blog. It is so easy. You don't need to rebel

    Hi Smile,

    I accidentally came across your blog , but I'm very glad I did. I've been busy reading your other blog posts, such a nice way to spend an afternoon. Your writing is beautiful and it is fascinating to follow your journey to the unique places you visit. My mother is coming from China tomorrow, she has anxiety and depression, not knowing what to do with herself. I will show her your blog and show her how great life can be. You are an inspiration to us all, thank you for your time and words.

    My Smile is the best. I loved her idea of pretending to be happy. I read an article somewhere that if you keep pretending to be happy then you will eventually be happy. Thank you Smile for continuing to write to us. Your son should have realized that when you are by yourself, you will feel lonely. I hope he is a regular reader of your blogs

    @mrizvi: Please read. You will love these blogs. We will like to say to you one day that "She is the best teenager"

    Dear Smile are a very positive person. Thanks for writing these nice blogs

    @mrizvi: Please dont get upset but people are writing in different languages however you dont seems to be getting a message. Smile is so kind to you that she even considers you part of her readers family. She thanks each reader every day, including you (though we all know that you dont read, simply comments).

Bird are busy picknicking

    Beautiful morning sunny and bright. No more rain. We had already more than enough of it. Grass and flowers, don't need any watering. It is 26 C, hot day.   This is weekend, I have to do my hair color. My friend invited me for afternoon tea. I will go there. It is always good to be with friends and family. We have to accept invitations, to make our day. I think, calls are sort of blessings. Signals from God for us to gather happiness. Life is nearly the same for everyone. It is all up to us, how we take it.  Try to give color to the moments in hand. Sitting idle, doing nothing, won't bring happiness. Try to be active, do something, anything you like to do. Go for walk, to look the scenery around.  Some people like outdoors, some not. They like to be indoors. Find the spot of your choice in your garden / balcony, get book / magazine of your interest, to be happy. Bird watching is beautiful. You feel great, watching them doing things, you get invo...

Nature is great

     October 29th 2024 It's a different scenario today. Cloudy morning hazy sky. Sun is hiding under his gray blanket. It is Tuesday so I don't have to go to work. No Darts today at the library. It is a day off for me. I have to make other plans to make my day. Day offs are like clean slates. We have to write our schedule to fill out the columns of the day. When we have to go to work or school, our timings are all set.  We don't have to worry about how to pass our time. We have just a couple of hours left to sort out after coming back from our workplace or school. Weekends and day offs are tricky. We need some homework to fill out our day slots. Try to make it like a combo, a mixed plate to have a taste of everything. Day offs are like blank sheets. We can write, paint, whatever we want to do, to fill out. Every day is like a container with twenty four hours of consignment. It's delivered every morning.  We have to open it and use to finish it up. It all has to ...

Have a taste of Nature

      October 22nd 2024 Great morning 18C. It is like summer for Canadians. Couple of more days to enjoy the outdoors.  Beautiful leaves of all colors are everywhere giving a scenic look to the atmosphere to behold and to cherish these moments. Nature is amazing. There is always something for we Humans to make our day. Take some time off from your day today to look around. You will find beauty everywhere. It doesn't matter in which part of the world you live. Don't have to plan for long trips. It is all at your doorsteps. Keep your eyes open and take a break to smell the nature around. You will get the flavor and also inner peace deep down. It will be a rare happiness all on its own. You don't have to make any payments, any investments for that. Just a time alone slot and all the transactions will be done. It works like meditation. It's 11.45, I am at Tim Hortons enjoying my small tea, not coffee today. We have to change our menu too. It works something like a change...
