Driving Seat

To My Young Readers
whom I trust they love their
Parents

When we grow older our
children are in driving seat
we can do our things still
sometimes need a push

My dear children it will be
great if you just let us know
that you are there for us it
will make a  big difference

You don't have to hold our
hands in our walk to our
old age retirement days
Life trail

Just show us the Direction 
when we get puzzled and
start losing track

I am 70 plus with long time
Osteoporosis and Arthritis
I am doing it because
my son gives me a push

I don't have any grocery list
of mine as I live with my son
I share whatever there more
than enough for me

I love to go to do grocery for my
family it gives me opportunity
to have a feel that I am not retired
I am still in enough to defy my age

Same thing while doing laundry
changing bed sheets and helping
in kitchen cooking for my family

Last week I was raking leaves 
with my son it was amazing
I always do that

My Young Readers please
give a push to your parents
we need that from time to time

You are in driving seat to change
our lives it wont happen overnight
believe me it will happen

When you are doing their
laundry always take them with you
make them to put clothes in Washer
same thing with Dryer

Take them for grocery they wont
like it still you have to give a push 
to make it happen 

It will take more time and efforts
but keep in mind that you are doing a
great job making great contribution
in your parents life

Take it as a joint project with
your parents to keep them more
active and mobile they will
be more than happy after

    I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. Customers are coming in from the church. This being Sunday, I have put a copy of all the weekly blogs on the table. Some customers dont come every day and they are all interested in it.

    Dear Advisor,

    Though your target audience for today's blog are young people, the retirees do appreciate your advice to them. The retirees however would like to humbly request that you dont ask children to force us to do physical work. Our members dont rake leaves, they dont do their own laundry, they rarely go to watch their grandkids games, or participate in preparing dinner. The retirees prefer activities such as bird watching, or sitting in the backyard, or watching sports on televisiom, basically anything where we can sit or lie down and dont have to do any physical activity.

    As this is the weekend, our members did not participate in the Smile Walk today. They are planning to meet in a day or two to plan the Smile Walk activity. I am wondering if you have some thoughts or advice for us on that

    I am back this Sunday from my business travels. During my travels I read the blogs on my phone however do not comment as it is difficult. Not only do I read it, I also discuss with my colleagues as part of business meetings as it serves as a good ice breaker.

    I know I am late but I wanted to share my favourite moment. For me it is returning back home, though it is for a day only, and being able to sleep in my own bed. When I travel, which is often, then I find that reading the blog keeps me tethered and it is by far the favourite moments

    It is nice of mrizvi to take time out from schoolwork to post the comment for us. It may be a meaningless comment, sorry I meant meaningful comment

    I have been reading on mobile however I borrowed a computer in the library to write today's comment.

    This is a very inspiring message to our kids however I think they need to do much more than that. It is not enough to simply ask their kids to help them with raking leaves. Just my 2 cents

  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
