Tooting Broadway

-
















Today I was at my Cousin Place
in Tooting Broadway
it is Tube Station Junction
20 minutes away from
Thornton Heath
my Daughter's Place

I noticed flower baskets hanging
outside the Pub painted in black
colorful flowers looking
beautiful on black walls

Light Blue color of Cafe Nero
Italian Coffee Chain

My cousin is in very bad shape
after his stroke his left side affected
so was lying in special hospital bed

I was thinking of my last Trip
when he was full of life
very active used to hop in buses
to see me on the very first day
of my arrival

How things change you never know
what will be the  next
Enjoy the Moment you have
time will never come back
don't wait for tomorrow
it will be a bonus
Try to make use of time you have
so that we wont have any Regret

    As a recently retired person, I can attest to what Smile has indicated, that it is important to live in the present. She has said this in more eloquent terms than myself though

    This blog contrasts with the other ones that Smile has been writing. This is more philosophical, whereas the other ones are about travel. Good variety

    @mrizvi: Perhaps you will like to read this one for a change

    I am enjoying these blogs. I don't feel like I am a newbie here. Thanks Smile and the family for welcoming me

    Regarding mrizvi, I am wondering if anyone has any other thoughts about the profile I presented ie she is a 20ish girl, rebellious, slightly immature, and strong headed. Not willing to learn however dedicated.

    I also have drawn some profiles for some of you. Let me know if you are interested and I can share them.

    @mrizvi: Feel free to challenge me if you think I am mistaken

    My Smile is a therapist and a philosopher. She probably worked as a marketing consultant/expert as well. She is an amazing person

    Dear Smile,

    I posted my comment earlier, it hasn't gotten through and so I will post again. Thank you for writing such wisdom, my daughter has introduced me to your blog and I am hooked already. I loved your post on Peak District, I will be sure to visit that while I am in England. I cannot thank you enough, honestly and truly, for your posts. To me, your words are advice on how to live positively and enjoy life.

    Xin Miller

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...
