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.

    @mrizvi: Please read, you don't realize how much you are missing by not reading

    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

  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
