Life Lessons

To be with people is like a
craving like a Chip 
embedded inside my heart

 It was early 1980 when I was
working and people used to come
to my office to talk about their
problems and to share

My colleagues were of the
opinion that people use to come with
heavy hearts and leave with
smiling faces 

They named my office
as " Hyde Park " where people
can talk about anything 

I salute those who shared their
personal matters with me having
confidence and their trust they were
sure that it will never be breached

They gave me Life lessons
were great teachers of mine
I got my listening skills developed
and my patience too
above all have a feel from other's 
prospective 

When we share something
we learn so much out of that

I realized that there is nothing
good or bad -- big or small 
sometimes very small things 
leave a scar and same is otherwise

Small things give lots of happiness
change our lives so never
underestimate anything and anyone
Everything counts

    Well we were a little red faced as we read today's blog. We thought that we wrote a comment for yesterday's blog however perhaps did not submit it correctly. In any case, wanted to let you know that it was a good change form the one day before

    Now for today's blog, every day we find something new and interesting about yourself. We cant say it is very surprising as you have a multi-faceted personality however it is still very special. Thank you for writing for us every day

    Dear Advisor,

    We met yesterday to talk about the advice you have given to us. We passed a unanimous resolution to express our thanks and appreciation to you for all the advice you have been sending our way via these blogs. We also were wondering if we can ask you for some additional advice as our membership is unclear in terms of how to be your own company. Our members have given me their consent to be candid with you and therefore I can report an example. One of our member went on a boat cruise organized by a local church that he is part of. He went with his wife and 2 other friends, yet they all were very bored as they did not know the other participants of the cruise. Our other members have similar stories.

    Also, our ex corporate executive has requested some additional insights so she can organize the walks.

    mrizvi: We also passed a resolution to condemn your comment of "good blog" when Smile described the fire incident. There was also debate about your intentions however it was hung vote as some members feel that you may either have not read it, or are not mature enough to understand the gravity of your comment. In future, please try to refrain from making comments without reading. Thank you

    I did not realize that you have so much experience in giving advice. No wonder you are so patient with the retirees. If there would have been someone else, she would have told them to take a hike

    As I was reading this blog, I was wondering how much Smile has accomplished as a single mother. I mean, most of the people did not accomplish 10% of all this with all the support

    In addition, she also had her only son who must have been juicing her from day 1.

    mrizvi: take some lessons from these blogs. You don't get all the learnings in class room only

      Good point about her only son. I am wondering why he is trying to do bad things to her after all that she has done for him. I don't want to repeat the incidents like beach, fire, feeding the bums, etc

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
