Today's Blog

I think to live a Life is an art
we have a canvas to paint
we draw whatever we want to
with colors we choose 

Like an artist our ideas our
thoughts our mood 
everything counts to draw
and paint our daily Paintings

Our personality is an Exhibit
which attracts or repels people
to be happy we have to be with
people so try to make the Exhibit
full of colors joy and happiness
make more people to come and visit

I used to live in day tight
compartment to keep myself away 
from Negative thoughts
I am Retired so try to be busy
with Family and the people around 

It works no time to think Negative
very busy schedule

Day time with my Seniors Club
walk -- laundry and making calls 
my evenings are with my Family

Yesterday I was giving snacks to
my grand kids try to do
taco chips crisp to make it tasty
so I put it in the toaster oven 
and started doing my Sudoku  

Just couple of minutes after
I noticed it caught fire
my two younger grand kids were
with me I quickly got the kitchen
scissors to hold the foil plate 
and threw it in the basin and switched 
water on to extinguish fire

It worked well I succeeded
to handle the situation 
I think these things will give
color to my painting 
to make Exhibit a success

    I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. Customers reading the blocked are shocked and also relieved about the kitchen incident. Some suggested that they will offer thanks tomorrow at the church service. Some are upset that her only son is not treating her well

    I really like that you are asking your multicultural readers to comment in their own languages, it allows them to be free and comfortable and shows you appreciate all kinds of people, it's very open minded and encouraging of you.

    Seat belts warning were in order for today's blog as it was roller coaster type of a read. We almost spilled our coffee as we went through the various twists and turns that you so eloquently detailed.

    It started with some common sense suggestions for the multi lingual readers and then talked about some really interesting concepts. I hope your other readers can appreciate that. Living in "day tight compartment" as you call it and use this as a shield to insulate yourself against negative thoughts is a novel idea. Certainly explains a no. of your activities. We both think that this is something that we need to try ourselves.

    The fire accident you described was very troubling. We were both very relieved that no harm came as a result, thanks to your swift actions. It could have been horrific.

    Please do take care of yourself

    Thank you for writing and sharing these useful ideas with your readers

    Dave and Linda

    Dear Advisor,

    We had an emergency meeting of the retiree group as a result of the blog. We passed a motion that requires me to express our concern with you regarding the fire accident. The group wanted me to express our solidarity with you. We also wanted to let you know that we are extremely thankful that nothing bad resulted from this, other than perhaps some psychological scars.

    We also passed another motion, in which we wanted to request your only son to take much better care of you. There were some very strong language used by some of the members about your son which I dont think would be appropriate for me to repeat in a blog which is open to public. You are no spring chicken and he should treat you accordingly.

    During the meeting, our ex corporate executive pointed out some of the nuances of the blog to us. We think that your suggestion to not have negative thoughts are very useful. We will read them again and meet later in the week to discuss them more thoroughly

    @mrizvi: We also want to request you to please provide more thoughtful comments today as "good post" will not be appropriate

    thanks
    recent retiree

    What a frightening experience you had and yet you handled so expertly. Though you are so calm about it, to be honest, I am a bit ruffled. It is a harrowing experience. If you would not have been able to get to it as quickly as you did, if you would not have been able to think on your feet, if ...... I dont even want to imagine the nightmarish possibilities.

    Like others I also wish that your son takes heed from this unfortunate and potentially devastating experience, to do things differently from now on. To start, take care of you

    My Smile is simply amazing! She is a life saver! She not only knows how to write but also knows how to act amazingly! I am not going to say anything about her only son as his actions speaks for himself. I will only say that please dont bother my Smile any more.

    @mrizvi: I hope you dont just write your patented "good post".

    thank you

    I am so shocked about what I read in the blog today. I am still shaking when I think of what may have happened if Smile would not have acted swiftly. She not saved herself but also saved the life of her grand kids.

    Of course, the qs does come up about why her only son keeps on doing this to her. I am mean this one is borderline criminal. I fail to understand why is he doing this. She is giving him money. She is taking care of his kids. He is buying groceries for him and his kids, I mean what more does he wants. He is taking her to a beach in September! Smile could have got pneumonia because of it. She asked her to walk to the bank to get money for him, even though she just came back from a long trip. She could have got dizzy and fallen on the way and get a fracture. And now this. I mean, is he on some sort of a mission! It is simply disgraceful

    @mrizvi: Talking about disgraceful. I hope you dont write the dreaded comment today

    I am floored by what is going on! First I almost lost it when I read the blog. And then mrizvi's comment left me speechless.

    I completely and absolutely agree with Boris and comments shared by others about Smile's only son. The only thing which I will add is that our Smile is so generous that she never complained even once. In fact she always has tried to defend him even though his acts have been indefensible

    As for mrizvi, I am not sure if she is making comments to tease us or is rebellious or is not reading or whatever. Regardless of the reasoning this is simply unacceptable

    The blog started so well. It was one another masterpiece from Smile. She provides so much valuable insights into how to keep negative thoughts away. And then I read about the fire. I almost fell. This is scary stuff. And then I read the heroics of our Smile , saving a definite disaster. It took me a whole day to recover. And now the comment from mrizvi. If all young adults are like that, then this generation is in big trouble

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.

     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

      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
