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

  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
