Now My Today's Blog


I don't drive and somehow
I started thinking
it is a blessing for me

Most of my Blogs are generated
at my Driveway while waiting
for my Ride or at Bus Stops

While I wait I have to Do " Nothing "
have my own Time slot just to wait
and enjoy the scene

Scenes which go on changing
with a new look in every season
every day every moment

I watch leaves changing colors
Morning Dew --- Birds flying
Squirrels running around
Butterflies dancing -- whispering
hopping from flowers to flowers

While watching and enjoying
I think about Nature about
it's Creator about our Creator
it opens so many Windows for me

Precious moments to talk to my
Almighty in private
no disturbance no distraction

These Moments are my Spiritual 
Meditation and my Great teachers too
I started to figure out so many
things as Green is not only green

Every green has it's own color  
shade and shape and birds have
different tones at different time
in different seasons

 They celebrate rain - sunshine and
scared of Tornado and Gusts
and extreme weathers

Believe me every time there is
so much to see and to learn
I don't drive so on my way
I am able to observe and enjoy
throughout my journey as
I am not in the driving seat

It gives me so much pleasure
so much joy and Peace
this all brings Calm in my Life
and gives a Great start to my Day

God is Great when he sees
something missing from your Plate
He tops it up so just relax and trust
God is watching over us

I thank God that I am not driving
otherwise could have missed all
these precious moments of my Life
I think it is a Blessing for me
that I don't Drive

      There were a lot of joking around that we should sell our cars to start thinking like Smile. Samantha had the best one, "cars are bad for environment and bad for thinking. Get rid of it, so you can help environment and to think like Smile" :-)

      I like the quip that Peter made when he said " Lets check to see if mrizvi has a car. If she does then we can all confirm that cars are bad for you. Period"

    Dear Advisor,

    We enjoyed the blog today and were impressed with your imagination and creativity. Most of our members drive but based on your blog, one of the fellow members suggested that perhaps we should start taking short walks. We will discuss this in a meeting. I am trying to arrange one

    I lost the race (again) to post the blog. There are a couple of environmentalists in our office and they are using today's blog and some of the previous ones (specially the ones about nature) as proof that Smile is also one of them :-)

    Good fun discussion taking place

      I have a small shop in a small town in Ireland. I started posting the blogs and it got the locals very interested. I have created a place in my shop, with a couple of sofas, a table, sort of a mini coffee shop where customers can come and enjoy the blog. I was thinking of calling it Coffee Corner but the customers suggested "Smile Corner". So that's what it is.

      Cool. This is a great idea. If someone opens a Smile Corner near my place, I would start living there

    We read and talked about the blog over coffee. In retrospect, we were not surprised at what you wrote today. We knew that inherently you have a capacity to look at the everyday things with a different lens. Please keep doing that and enlighten us and our day

    Thank you
    Dave and Linda

    You are determined to see everything positively. Small things on which people keep on moaning, you consider it as a blessing in some other way which makes you and us smile all the time.
    Keep on smiling.....

    I used to comment in German but am commenting in English as you asked.

    I like this blog because of the literary value. I mean just look at today's blog "Birds flying
    Squirrels running around
    Butterflies dancing -- whispering
    hopping from flowers to flowers"

    I mean can I say anything more?

    @mrizvi: This is why I keep asking you to read. It is good for your growth

  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
