Now Today's Blog


I was walking to Tim Hortons
everything looking so fresh
it was rain early morning and
all the Greens had a shower

A contagious Smile all around
wild yellow and purple flowers
were inviting Butterflies for a
Dance with Twinkle in their Eyes
Squirrels sneaking for Date

Rain drops still on the grass and leaves
birds playing music and hopping
from plants to plants
giving color to the festive 
atmosphere

Everyone in a different mood
a party atmosphere
Elders were also carried away
and not ready to play
their parental responsibilities

Sort of rushing and gushing
to get ready for the party 
and making arrangements

Everyone trying to pick and
setting their eyes on their to
be Groom and to be Bride

Parents with smiling faces
praying and hoping
Kids will make the right
choice for their Life Partner 

Right now keeping their
fingers crossed

    Starting our weekend with this blog is perhaps the most exquisite way that's possible. We enjoyed reading it with a cup of coffee in our hands. It reminded us of some of our cherished authors from the past, like Thomas Hardy and Dickens.

    Please accept our gratitude for making our weekend a little richer and brighter with your entertaining writing

    Dave and Linda

    Dear Advisor,

    Thank you for your advice for us. Some of our members called me today asking me to thank you for this blog. We will be meeting early next week to go through it in more detail. As is our norm, our ex corporate executive will be going through the initial assessment and the rest of the members are required to read it prior to the meeting. I will share the results of the meeting with you as well

    Thank you very much

    I thoroughly enjoyed the tone of the blog. Like some others in the readers family, I enjoy reading classic English literature myself, and I found this blog to have a lot of similarities. I think I may have mentioned that I am a big fan of James Herriot and this blog reminded me of him

    Thank you Smile

    phost mé an bhlag i mo siopa. Bhí go leor de na custaiméirí sásta. Bunaithe ar an t-ús ar an bhlag a ghiniúint, tá mé ar bun cúinne caife beag. Tá tábla beag agus couch beag. Glaoch mé é an "Smile Cúinne"

    Dear Smile,

    I have not been well and I have missed your blogs dearly. I was feeling down last week about being sick, but it clicked in my mind you said to never be lonely and keep ourselves busy. So I called an old friend and we talked for hours. Even when I cannot come to you, your words are always in the back of my mind.
    Your post today reminded me of my daughter Jane's wedding. It was one of the happiest days of my life and your blog reminded me of just that.

    Thank you Smile,
    Xin Miller
    PS: I do not know you but I feel like I have made a life long friend.

    Smile,

    Greetings from India today! I read yesterdays blog on my phone and it made me so upset that you were feeling down. I thought to myself I must find a computer with wifi to comment today. Today I must do, can't have my favorite writer feeling down Loved your post today, I'm a parent who is worried about my own children's life parter and you captured that in words.

    Thank you,
    Fellow Writer

    @Xin, I don't mean to blame you but because you stopped commenting for such a long time, our Smile felt down. You're lucky she didn't stop writing. I have noticed you didn't even say sorry, I think it's actually selfish you just use Smile's words when it's convenient for her and don't appreciate her. I think you need to say sorry.

      @Fellow Writer I am deeply offended by this. How dare you say this to me? Do you not know I was ill? And I do not see you comment at all on Smile's blog, I think it is fair to say I am much more of a loyal reader than you. And I believe you are the reason Smile was down not me.

      Xin

      @Xin You still haven't apologized, my dear lady. And Smile know's my work commitments and she know's I'm always reading, so I guess I don't even need to comment. I'm her most loyal follower I'd say, and I always know when to apologise. I think you need to check your behavior and take some time out, and then you'll know I'm right.

      @Fellow Writer I believe you are in the wrong right now, sir. You're putting all your negativity and viciousness all over Smile's beautiful post which is so much in touch with nature. And do not tell me to take some time out, I think you need an ego check if you think you're her most loyal follower, I have been reading long before you showed up in the equation. But why are we being so petty? What would Smile think of us? Smile, I am sorry you've had to read this negativity, your posts are so positive and we should all take a lesson from you and your peacefulness.

      Xin

      @Xin Madam, you still don't think you're in the wrong. But, I will let this go. I'm sorry Smile, please don't let our petty conflict take away an amazing post.

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
