Through the Woods

-

Image result for driving in dark night in wood pictures












It was night time I was
going with my son to pick my
grandson from Hockey game
it was cloudy so was pitch black

We were passing through
the street lined both sides
with trees it was a two track
highway so trees looked
like not so far away

I opened my window to
smell and to breathe in real
fresh air I was lucky
I smelled a very strong odor
sure skunk must be
around somewhere here

It gave me very different feeling
feeling of passing through
the Real Woods
trees were very quiet
may be already asleep

Stillness all around
so calm so peaceful
wind also moving with caution
making sure not to stir and 
disturb the serene atmosphere 

We see different shades of Nature 
this is a Solemn one not the
Joyous mood of the Morning

God is Gracious to provide us
a variety of taste and flavor
and also vibrant scenic views
to behold and enjoy and be Thankful

    Today's blog reminded us why nature is so beautiful. We were inspired to explore more about nature. We made a pledge to ourselves to go outdoors this week. And your blogs are the reason for it

    Dear Advisor,

    Some of the retirees met yesterday to review your blog from earlier this week. This was part of the preliminary meeting. We read the blog multiple times and the more we read it, the more we realized that it is full of insightful advice. We are hoping that you can suggest one or two things to us. Or perhaps suggest what is the best way to go through the meeting

    @mrizvi: Please read as the advisor's comments are as much related to non retirees as they are for retirees

    recent retirees
    Thank you for your blogs and providing your advice to us

    Bhí mé déanach i postáil cóip den bhlag i mo siopa agus bhí 2 custaiméir irate go raibh mé chun déileáil leis. Toisc gurb é seo baile beag an focal fuair amach le daoine eile agus bhí ar bith. de chustaiméirí suaiteachta eile a tháinig níos déanaí sa lá. Ba mhaith liom ach a insint do léitheoirí Éireannacha go bhfuil mé leithscéal. Fuair moill mé i postáil ar an bhlag mar is gá mo bhean chéile roinnt cúnamh sa bhaile ar maidin. Cosúil le daoine eile, tá mé chomh maith le lucht leanúna mór.

    go raibh maith agat

    Disfrutado el blog. Me inspiró para ir a dar un paseo en el espacio verde cerca de mi lugar.

    Se necesita mucho para sacarme de mi sofá y se lleva a cabo con sus palabras. Confía en mí, es un gran problema.

    Gracias.

    I enjoy reading your blogs. Thank you for posting daily. I specially like the choice of words as you can literally paint a picture with them. I also enjoy the variation in topics.

    Thank you

    Sie tun auf jeden Fall, wie Sie sagen. Sie machen jede Minute zählen. Sehr inspirierend. Ich habe den Eindruck, dass Sie in Ihrem 30s sind. Auf keinen Fall, dass jeder Senioren mit Ihnen mithalten kann

  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
