Doing Nothing

-

For relaxation and happiness
you don't have to run a Marathon 
or push yourself to be happy
just relax and be yourself

Beside my Senior Club activities
I make plans beforehand for
Myself to get busy 

I am Retired so I keep in mind
and try to be involved in
my Family my Grand kids
cooking -- light groceries
as much as I can handle

You do such things for your
own good and for your own
satisfaction you know
what goes around comes around
just sitting and watching TV
not an option for us

When you are very busy at work
have to do long hours 
make plans while coming back 
to sit down in your favorite
corner of your favorite place
with your Cup of Coffee or Tea

We need our own time doing
Nothing thinking Nothing
Just Blank Mind
to have our Relaxation Period

I do that in the morning
lie down for couple of minutes
on my bedroom carpet
to give a good start to My Day
try that you will enjoy

    We had a very relaxing weekend retreat. We frequently referred to the blogs to get some ideas. It was just amazing.


    As for today's blog, we feel that it is written with us in mind :-) A no. of things that you said applies to us completely.

    Thank you for writing these blogs. It is making a significant improvement in the quality of our lies

    Dear Madam Smile, I am so thankful to you for writing blog and also mentioning me when you thank others. You don't need to thank me. You do so many things it looks to me that you are doing 3 jobs.

    I should not say that but I think Plunker is right that your only son should take more care of you. It is not right that he is asking you to take bus, or take his kids to hockey and ask you to get money or ask you to get grocery for his kids. It is nice of you that you don't complain about that but do what you can to help

    Hi Smile, I hope you don't mind if I call you the Advisor. Our group met today and saw some of the comments that I made last week in which I addressed you directly. Some of the members objected. Their preference is that I call you Advisor. Frankly, I agree with them

    As for today's blog, we could not finish our discussion about it today, as we only met for 1 hour. We feel that this will require more time to discuss thoroughly. We do appreciate your suggestion that we should plan our day and look for some quick wins. Also, celebrate these small wins

    Thank you Advisor. Appreciate you taking the time to write about these issues.

    Posted the print out of the blog on the notice board. There is a toastmasters meeting today and the group is using the blog as the basis of the meeting. All participants are required to read the blog, speak about it and answer any qs about it

    I can tell you tomorrow how the meeting went

      @ Tiara, I could not make it to the meeting but talked to Eddy and Sam afterwards. Looks like you guys went through 2 of Smile's blog.

      I heard that there was a lot of slack given to the slacker aka her son.

      Also, Eddy was telling me that you have been tasked to help mrizvi to read the blog. Good luck, as someone said yesterday, age has got nothing to do with it, she (ie mrizvi) is just stubborn

    Loved the blog. We had some friends over this weekend and we discussed some of the blogs from the past. They could not believe that you are for real. They think you must be a bionic woman

    Though I am not saying it, but there were some people who were astounded that your son is asking you for money and to take care of his kids and to take his kids to hockey etc. Hope he reads your blogs so he can learn from some of our comments

    @mrizvi: Please read. None of our friends understand why you are not reading. And some of the participants were 20 year olds. They all think that you can and should do better

    I was planning on posting the blog on our notice board but when I went there, I noticed that there already is a printout posted there. Found out that one of our colleague is now a big Smile fan.

    Thanks for the blog Smile. I am not sure how you can handle that much. I think our friend who is working tirelessly at 2 different positions is right,you are as busy as a squirrel. I cant imagine how you can do that.

    @mrizvi: Please read these blogs.

    Smile is so generous. She writes for all of us. For retirees, for students, for office workers. She has great ideas. While most people like to watch TV for fun, she wants to go out and enjoy like a 20 year old. She is superb. There is no way we can match her energy level, her enthusiasm, her positivity, her optimism. She likes people, and the people like her

    Smile even loves her only son and tries her best to put a brave face on his selfishness. When he asks her to walk to the bank to get her money for him, or when she asks her to take her kids to the hockey practice or groceries then instead of creaticizing the slacker, she calls him nice and caring.

    @mrizvi: I hope you an read and learn from Smile. Please stop the rebellious attitude. It is not helping you

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 involved.

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 be done

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 of
