I am back in Toronto from London
it takes 15 hours Door to Door
Every Monday I have my
Senior's Club activities
!0 am to 12 Noon Darts

I am addicted to Playing Darts
I start my Journey taking public
transport at 9.25 it take two
buses to reach my destination
as there is no direct bus service

I skipped this Monday to revive
and to settle down
did all my laundry
and organized my cupboard
did some cooking for my family
to make my grandsons happy
we become happy by giving Happiness

My Tuesdays are off I mean
no Club activity
on Wednesday Darts as well as
from 1 pm to 3 pm Carpet Bowling
I go at 9.15 from my place
come back at 3 afternoon

This Thursday is Pot Luck 
at My Club
Friday same till 3 pm
I love my Club very much
it is like office for me
I never think to take time off

I switch off my England Golden
Memories buttons
close file and put it safely
in my Memory Box
take out my Toronto File
from my Mind Cabinet
to check what is going on here
and what to Do to reconnect

Try to live in Day tight compartment
Ring out the Old and Ring in the New
I use this Recipe for My Living
Try That you wont regret

    Dear Madam Smile,

    I do 2 jobs and I thought that my schedule is tight but you have more busy schedule than me. I dont know how you do it. Please take some rest. This is for 1st week back. One my friend came from 3 hours flight and was so tired that could not do anything for 3-4 days. He was only 25. Madam, I dont know how you got so much energy

    @mrizvi: You are 20 but you should read Madam's blog today. She has so much energy.

    Thank you for writing for me. Too be honest I dont think I can do half of these things. I never did half of these things even when I was not retired and was full of energy

    I am going to re-read this blog with my other retiree friends tomorrow. We have all individually read this but want to get together tomorrow to discuss it too as we think it will help to have a broader discussion

    Thank you so much for writing

    You are living in a day tight compartment. I am not sure how you can "lock up that memory box". Based on personal experience, forgetting about vacation and closing a chapter is not something that we do very well. It is even worse when it comes to family. Would you happen to share any advice or provide guidance as to how best to "turn the page". It is not a rush and you dont need to do this right away

    I am sorry that I am asking for that at this time, since you just returned from the trip.

    Thank you again for your blog. It is a pleasure going through it every day

    How can you turn the page on such a fulfilling vacation. I cant do that for events which have happened in my past life :-)

    My Smile is simply awesome. She came from her vacation and is doing so much work in one week that for many of us, that will require another vacation!!

    Get some rest, Smile

    @mrizvi: At your age of 20, you should be reading these blogs for your own good

    Talking about living in the moment! You know how to do it. I agree with Dave and Linda, that this will be beneficial for all us to get some thoughts on that

    Dont you rest at all!! You just came back from a long, arduous journey. You are not missing your kids?

    I guess your only son can learn some of the things from you ie how to be generous to others. Us readers are still upset with him that he does not take care and is enjoying himself too much. I dont want to say anything bad about him just because he isyour only son, so sorry about that

      I agree with you Batman about Smile's only son. He cannot use the excuse that she has not asked him for a tablet. Has he never thought of gifting one? What about Christmas gift, birthday gift etc

      Smile, thank you for writing every day

  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
