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

    Good Strategy to keep you busy, happy and active.
    No time left to moan for the things which you don't have.

    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

    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

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
