Welcome Note

I Love people and Love my Family
Love to be around
in England summer vacations
are different schools start
by the end of August

My Daughter is working
she is a schoolteacher
used to leave early morning
and back at 4 pm

I had my own ways to pass my Days
no groaning no grumbling
we are not there to bother them
they are not responsible
to keep us happy and to solve
our day to day problems
otherwise we will not have a
Welcome Note from anywhere

When my Daughter used to be
home in evenings
I used to make sure to be with her
go with her to drop her son to
swimming to Parents meetings
and to do groceries 

 In Toronto same thing
busy with my Son and Daughter in law
by this way I am busy all the time
and don't left any time to get bored 
always have something to do
I love to be around to enjoy

I believe in pockets of Happiness
if one pocket dries up we can
put our hands in another one
we always get some happiness
from someone from somewhere

We have to solve our problems
on our own and get going
when my grand kids were young
I used to volunteer in their
school Trips while I was in
England same in Toronto

If you have Family around
Be a part of their Life
believe me it gives lots of
Happiness and Joy

    My Smile is so awesome! She is a giver. She is generous with her time with the family and never asks anything in return. What an amazing person my Smile is

      Yes I did beat you to it today. Though someone else posted it yesterday and not me. I think could be either Sam or Jen. They are starting to be big Smile fan (I call them addicts :-) )

    Dear Madam Smile, you do so many things and never try to be a load on your kids. Your kids must be lucky. Most people they complain about kids not taking care of them

    Please don't misunderstand me, I don't want to be rude, but I think your reader family also is your family. With us, you don't worry about these things.

    @ mrizvi: Please read. Smile is not going to ask you for it, but do that

    No wonder you are so popular. You are a giver. You gives your time and encouragement to your kids. Volunteers. Basically are your own company

    @mrizvi: These are kinds of things that you can learn

    Dear Madam Advisor, We completed the discussion on your yesterday's blog this morning. The retiree club felt that there is no way any one of us can do even half of all those things. Some of us go to our kids hockey games, but that's only when they are in the playoff (ie once a year), though there is one gentleman who did go 3 times in one year. We go for our daily walks (weather permitting), but they last 15-20 mins. We still don't know what to do with our time. We liked the idea of going to Tim Hortons (or something like that) to celebrate quick wins.

    We quickly looked at your blog from today but as some of our members rely completely on their kids for all social interactions, we did not discuss the blog as it would have been awkward for them. We will try to discuss it at some other appropriate time. It is just too much of a change for some of them

    Again, the retirees felt that your son should take better care of you. We feel that he should not be asking you for money and making you get groceries for his kids.

    Also, we have a request that if you can advise us further

    We also wanted to thank you to agree to be our Advisor

    thank you

    recent retiree

    It is interesting that you don't rely on your kids at all. In fact you are still in the act of "giving" to them as opposed to "taking" from them. I am using the terms "giving" and "taking" liberally and mean to include items such as money, time, love etc

    This is a very hard act to follow. But we are getting some good ideas

    thanks for sharing

    I have posted the blog on the noticeboard today. The folks at the office were still talking about yesterday's blog. There was a significant brainstorming discussion at the Toastmasters yesterday and some of it spilled over to the coffee room chats.

    I will keep you posted if I hear any interesting comments

      I loved this blog. I also discussed some of it with my mother in California, and she did not believe that one person can be doing all these things. I had to actually ask her to look at the blog herself

      @mrizvi: I have been tasked to convince you to read this blog. I am also a 20 year old girl. I love the blog because it is a light read and is very informative about life skills. Give it a shot. Read today's and if you like then read some of the previous ones too

    My Smile is amazing. She has so many followers and she is inspiring so many people. Yet she is so humble. Even 20 year olds cant compete with her energy level. She is completely independent. In fact is taking care of her only son and his young family all on her own. What a superstar she is

    I am really upset with all your childish antics. You are a young person. 20 year olds are young adults. Yet you sit around with your rebellious attitude and refuse to learn. We have pleaded with you, tried to reason with you, tried to taunt you, tried to encourage you, but you are still not being able to understand.

    Think about it. Smile is writing these blogs for us when she is also taking care of her only son and his family. Read today's blog to understand how little that she depends on his only son and the 3 daughters

    Batman is mad at mrizvi and he should, as she is not listening at all. However I am more upset with Smile's only son because he does not even comment. He sits all day watching TV, he should make an effort to help Smile, to take care of his own kids, and use his money instead of Smile's. What a slacker he is

    Dear Smile,

    Yesterday my wifi was broken, I felt so cut off from you, I couldn't get on with my day. I now live for your words of advice everyday, it is like a breath of fresh air. We readers need you way more than you need us, remember this always. Today's post touched my heart greatly. I always tell my daughter how lonely and depressed I am, I think I will stop as I do not want to burden her. Thanks smile for giving me perspective,

  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
