Are You Coming ?

When I hear calling my son 
Mom I am going to drop Kids
to Hockey Arena are you 
coming ?

Or when he says I am going to
Lake are you coming ?
believe me at that time
I never forget to say
Thank You God

Can you imagine in this era
of digital technology where
even books are now on Discs
if he is not sick of his
70 plus Mom I have to say
Thank you God

With the generation gap and
all the family engagements 
if our children give any time
to us make phone calls to
us it is really amazing

When my Daughter in law decides
Dinner Menu with me goes for
grocery with me I say thank you
God she is not my blood 

 With all my Plus and Minuses
I am handling everything not
because of me it is the power
God giving to me to take things
easy and to enjoy my Life

So many things in our Life 
we take for granted like our
kids calling asking are you OK
do you need anything ?

Even for their brief calls we have
to admire and give credit to
them and show our happiness 

 Also give credit to yourself
for keeping connection alive 
with the next generation
your children

keep smiling no one likes a
bad weather report
so keep all complains to you
just zip up and smile

Problems lie within us solutions
lie within us so nurture yourself
by giving treats a hot cup of
tea or coffee at your favorite
spot to keep strength to face
anything with courage and grace

Don't forget to be thankful to God
that our Kids still have time for us
Don't take it for granted

    Dear Madam Smile, you so nice. You appreciate everything. Even when your only son ask you for help in dropping son sons to hockey or your daughter in law ask you help for grocery, you no complain but say thanks. You big shot, but you still nice. I do 2 job so no time to grocery.

    mrizvi: read Madam blog. She nice

    Dear Advisor,

    A no. of retirees called me this morning. The gist of the message was that you are very kind and therefore are so appreciated by everyone. They also want to discuss this blog in the next meeting that we have.

    mrizvi: Retirees continue to be concerned by your rebellious attitude

      We went for our Smile Walk and discussed the idea of having the next 2 Toastmasters meeting dedicated to Smile's blog. We were thinking of covering all the items in one meeting but cant. She has given so much material to us

      I liked Steve's idea of renaming the next 2 meetings at least to Smile Forum. We have a lot of Smile's fans here, so will get more people to attend if we can use her name.

    You provided some good illustrations of how expressing gratitude is so significant. Often times, we take our loved ones for granted and do not explicitly indicate our appreciation.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts so regularly. Please trust us when we say, that this is extremely enlightening for us

    I have been travelling on business and though have not had the opportunity to comment, have been enjoying the blogs. Some of the business associates also checked out the blog and were equally impressed as myself about the contents of the blog

    God bless you. You wont listen to anyone, will you.

    People from all over the world are condemning you, and yet you keep pipping up with "good post"

    What a gracious post from the iron lady. This is absolutely mind blowing. Smile, is teaching us all to be absolutely kind. Her only son, who we all know, has been a menace to her, is probably asking her to come so he can pay for the gas, or pay for the groceries, or get candies for his little kiddies, yet she is thanking her. Her daughter in law should be the one planning the menu all by herself, yet she is asking Smile to be involved so Smile can help out, yet how Smile responds - with utter kindness. She is a difficult act to follow

    It is so nice to see that you appreciate kindness even for minor acts. If someone asks you to come along, or is seeking you advice, you thank them instead of them thanking you. It is not easy to follow this

    I read this blog in the morning and I had similar thoughts that others are expressing. I just was finding it so difficult to believe that you are actually thanking someone who is juicing you all the time. But my mistake was that I was looking it from my eyes and not from yours. You are simply impressive

    mrizvi: It is a good learning blog for you

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...
