Image result for Maple fall leaves pictures











 Today temperature is 14 it is Monday so only playing
Darts at my Seniors Club
no Carpet Bowling

I was off from work at noon
Yes from Work I consider
it working like still going to
office to work not retired

I was back home and it was
only 12.30 it was sunny so
beautiful from my bedroom
window

I switched my computer on to go
through Readers Comments on my
Blog which always make my day
It doesn't matter rain or shine

I had my lunch I couldn't resist
the beautiful weather the sunshine
giving me call to get out

I quickly changed and was walking
on Whites Road within no time
to where ? of course to my
favorite spot Tim Hortons

While I was walking I had to
watch my steps for all the
brown Maple which were all over
the place

So many shades of brown
I never realized before from
Colombian black coffee color
to the color of Double Double
I mean with 2 cream

Fawn to Beige you name any
shade of brown and it was there
it is so amazing to walk in Fall
I was watching my steps not to
crumble any of these beautiful
leaves

Keep in mind there were all the
fall colors too I was enjoying on
tree tops from deep red to
orange and Gold

There was beauty everywhere
to enjoy Thank You God for
making my day and keeping me
in good health to walk around

    Your blog got us thinking about nature. There is a small wooded area near our place which we hardly ever go to. Your writing inspired us to act. Both of us planned to come early from work to trek on the nature trail.

    Thank you for your inspirational words

      Smile Walks are becoming very useful. We not only walk but also get a chance to discuss Smile's blog as we are walking.

      There were a no. of participants who were still talking about her blog from yesterday. We all thought that she has a very generous personality. Even though she knows that her only son is not taking care of her and probably using her, she still chooses to say nice things about him.

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees went through your blog. We did find some tips about walking but are still waiting to hear from you about additional insights about walking and keeping ones own company.

      Dear Sir, Please don't bother Madam. You people ask so many thing and she told you so many. But you always ask more. Tell me this, Tell me that. Please know that she no time. She go work, she teach hockey to son sons, she go club, she write poetry, she go friends, she go get grocery, she give food to son sons, she do lot things. I do 2 job and no time. You do job too.

      Please no mind but we should help her. Her only son bad and no take care. Reader family no bad, only mrizvi bad

      Dear friend, You are correct that we have been asking for a lot of advise. The challenge that we have is that we are trying to be half as active as her. She is living a very good life and we are hoping that her advice will make it half as good. I do agree with you though, that we may be over burdening her with our issues

      Smile, please don't feel that you have to provide additional advice. It will be good if you do, but we wont insist on it

      thank you

    Dear Smile,

    I was reading your past posts, catching up etc. It is of of great distress that I am having wifi problems, I will probably have them for the next few months until my package ends. It is with a heavy heart that I can't always read your posts straight away, but it is now a weekly treat to sit back and go through your blog posts. I know you wrote this a while ago but Smile, your blog post 'This too shall pass' has touched me in such a way I don't know how to tell you. I have read over and over it again, and I think I can establish two conclusions from your blog post. 1) You are an accomplished woman. 2) You have been through great hardships. It makes me think of who I was when I first discovered your blog months ago, very depressed, sad, empty. I feel full of life now, so I thank you. You mention your grandkids a lot and how they are teenagers, you should tell them these personal stories of how you got through disappointment. I am sure they would love to hear your backstory, and yours is so interesting and inspiring it would be a pity to not share it with your kindred.

    As for today's post, you proved that you don't need material things such as flashy cars etc to be happy.

    Xin

      No fancy stuff. Just adjust to present life. Accept the changes, admire nature and live with it. The BEST present life offer.

    The blog made me a little angry at Smile's only son. I dont understand what he is trying to do to Smile. And why? Why is he not cleaning the leaves. It is dangerous and Smile can fall. He already has been involved in a fire "accident" . What more he wants to do to her

    Smile is fantastic that she does not really care about him and can easily take care of herself.

    mrizvi: I have not seen your comment so far so there is hope that you will read today's blog. Good job

  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
