Image result for Kingston intersection pictures












I was waiting for my second
Bus # 900 Pulse at Kingston
Highway I was going to
play Darts and Carpet
Bowling after 2 weeks

I was with family -- friends and
Community things I was very busy
so didn't miss my Senior Club
though I love my Club it is
like a second Home for me

I am at the Bus stop taking
refuge inside the Glass shelter
it is 4 degrees now at 9.25 am
my bus will be coming in 5 minutes

This is an intersection of
Kingston and Whites Road
on either side are Gas stations
one side is Shell and near that
is Tim Hortons drive through

 On the other side is Petro Canada
and just at 5 minutes walk is
Tim Hortons and Wendy a Proper
Eating Place

Tim Hortons is very popular
in Canada like Costa in England

It was long summer so it is not
Fall yet Colors started changing
but not completely

I see birds flying in groups
and all in the same direction
may be signed up with the same
Tour Bus Company so all going to
gather at some Meeting point
to be picked up

Dump truck busy collecting
garbage from the Tim Hortons
Drive Through

 It is good to see Life in full swing
it gives energy and elevates Mood 
to start your Day

My Bus # 900 is here I will show
my transfer which I got from my
first Bus # 120 at the start of my
journey at Whites and Bayfield

After 2 stops I will be at Library
My Home Sweet Home

Thank you Dear God for giving me
strength to keep myself get going
Thank You Dear Lord

    Dear Madam Smile,

    You are so busy and active. Most people like sleep late and do nothing. You going for your club. You go pub. You go play sport. You watch baseball. I do 2 job so no time. I read you blog and learn so much. I hope you don't take 2 bus and your son drop you but you don't complain.

    @mrizvi: Please read Madam blog. They so nice

    This blog was perfectly timed for the start of the work week. You highlighted various activities (eg garbage collection, waiting for bus etC) which are typically associated with "chores, "work",or "boredom", and made them sound just the opposite. You have a way with words and are using them to the fullest advantage.

    Thank you so much for writing. We both love your endeavours.

    Dave and Linda

      Thanks. These blogs are simply awesome. I specially enjoyed the one from the prison experiment. The comments from the readers were interesting. I tend to agree with some that hope Smile's grand kids didn't attend the event

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees had the emergency meeting this morning. The meeting was to go through your advice to us last week. As they were required to do so, all members read your blog before coming to the meeting. Our ex corporate executive member facilitated the meeting. Bottom line, we thank you for your advice to us.

    The challenge that we face is that we are not as active as you (and this is an understatement). As an example, we go to a hockey game for our grand kids, once a year ie only in playoff or final, we don't go for walks, we socialize with friends once every other week at best, we don't interact with our grand kids let alone feeding them every day, we travel once a year and that is to go to a beach or cottage to lie down (and not sight seeing). I can go on and on, but I think you get the idea.

    So after all this, we are wondering if there is one to two things that you can share with us. As some of the more vocal members of the readers family have commented, we have indeed taken up a lot of your time in asking for the advice.

    We also noted that your only son is not really taking care as much care of you as he should. There was a lot of debate about that as this is a personal matter but a lot of retirees felt that you are part of their family too. It is due to this, and not any malicious intent that they discussed this issue.

    Thank you again for writing so regularly

    I lost the race to post the blog today. Not only today's blog but the ones from last weekend were posted there.

    The blogs have caused a lot of discussion in the office today

      I agree about the timing of the blog.

      Smile is not only observant but very efficient too. She put together the blog during her journey ie while she was waiting for a bus.

    Dear Smile,

    As usual your blog got me up this morning. Reading your post, I forced myself to go outside and get fresh air, I wish I had the scenic views of nature that you have. My view is very much busy, polluted China.

    Thanks always

    I enjoyed the writing but I will not be telling the truth if I dont let the readers family know that I have been really depressed since them. How can we see Smile going to her club on not 1 but 2 buses. I googled the directions and the club and it appears that it is only 10 mins drive from her place. As a corporate guy, can her only son not adjust his schedule to drop her off. IT is ridiculous that he is making her take the buses. It is simply ridiculous

    I like the blog. I am lying. I absolutely love it. Smile is my favorite writer. She has the art of making small, insignificant everyday things into something spectacular. Today is an (another) example of her master class.

    I am not going to talk about her only son, as my views on this subject are well known.

    @mrizvi: I know you are 20. I know that you are rebellious. I think that you are probably a party girl type. But please, please, pleas, start reading.

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
