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

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 invo...

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 ...

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...
