Butterfly in Sunshine

-

Image result for garden pictures
















Thursday 12 Noon was my Pot Luck
at my seniors Club 
my friend planned to pick me up
I was on my computer then looked out
of my window it was a beautiful 
morning with lots of sunshine

I called my friend that I am
planning to walk to the Library
that is to my Club
It was 10.15 am I had shower
and ready to walk on streets
it is 35 minutes walk 
I am talking about my walk time

When we are young we are busy
with work and raising our kids
managing everything so no time 
for our own 

After retirement we can do
whatever we like to do with our
own 24 hours Gift from God
it is totally our property no sharing
we can spend wherever we want
no more anybody business

I mentioned in my previous Blog
I am Lucky I am Retired
I was not making it up I believe
in that with my heart and soul

Retirement closes only one chapter
of our life but opens up so many
new Vista that we never imagined
before

Time is like a Butterfly we can't
catch it up and it wont be coming back
so enjoy every moment while
saying goodbye to them
celebrate your moments to make
it memorable and cherish
your memories

I walked to the Club stopped
at Fresh co  to buy something
for my Pot Luck
reached before the Party
we played Bingo from 1 .30 to 2.30 

It was not possible to do that
if I would have been working
I am Lucky I am Retired

    I posted the printout of the blog on the notice board today. As expected, there was a lot of discussion in the office at lunch.

    The retiree group met today and discussed this blog for about an hour. We felt that this one requires more time so are meeting again tomorrow to wrap up the discussion. Some of the things we noticed was that you have a lot of energy. None of us were ever doing half of the things that you are doing now. In other words, it is not just too difficult but almost impossible to follow. We are wondering if you can share some other ideas with us?

    My Smile is awesome. She knows how to live in the moment. She just came back from a trip and "chose" to walk for 35 minutes. It is not a surprise that there are so many friends that she has. Everyone wants to be friends with my Smile

    @mrizvi: Please read and you will learn

    We were late to work again today. It was actually an accident. Previously we decided that we will not read the blogs at breakfast, but we accidentally clicked on today's blog post. The rest, as they say, is history

    There were so many interesting points that you made today that we could not stop reading it. Both of us read it a couple of times to completely understand the points you are making. We specially loved the ones about living in the moment. We have been trying to replicate this after reading the blogs after your return to Canada. We don't think that we have succeeded yet, but believe, that we are heading in the right direction.

    Thank you again for continuing to inspire us

    Dave and Linda

    Thank you Smile for the blog. I read it in the morning as part of my morning routine and was not disappointed. Your blog inspired me to live the Nike dream of "Just Do It"

    I liked the point you made about we should respect the time that we have available and do the most in that time

    @mrizvi: When will you start reading. It is about time

    My Smile is simply awesome. She has the energy of a 20 year old, can inspire us all like a child and has the intelligence of a 70 year old. How can there be so many people fit in one person!!

    Thank you for writing Smile

    @mrizvi: Please, please. Lets give up this act and start reading

    Enjoyed today's blog. I like Bingo too. Have not been able to win a lot of money but it is fun. Glad that you like casinos and gambling.

    You are an inspiration to all of us Smile. You are living in such adversity that your only Son is making you get your money for himself, asking you to feed his family. I dont understand why he cant drive you there

    @mrizvi Please read

    Dont you ever take a break! You just came from a very long trip, it was a long flight, you have been writing every day, you take care of your only son (though it should be the other way around), you feed his kids, you have friends that you visit, you have clubs that you go to, on top of that you write a blog for a worldwide readership every day!

    @mrizvi: The reason we ask you to read is because you can learn as well

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...
