Fly Away

To My Retiree Friends
and Seniors like me
When I think back about My 
Parents I feel they were very
strong I believe every Parent
is like that 

When we grow older our body
becomes weak but all the
great experience of coping with
Life is on our Resume 

We tackled all the difficult
Moments in our Life with
patience and grace

I don't believe Retirement
is like a contagious disease
and old age is like a Waiting
Area where we have to wait
for our last train 

Train to go to leave to depart
cut all our strings from our
family and friends

 I believe every Parent is living
and enjoying a much better 
life than parents of Era before

I still remember half a century
back my Mom cooking on one
gasoline stove for family of seven
then it was my turn 

I was cooking with two gas
burners had my black and white
TV and my education
my family and work life

Nearly half a century after my
children are Parents with all
the High Tech facilities

World is moving forward with
greater opportunities to enjoy

To me Retirement is like a
Fly Away from our cage 
cage of work and cage of
household responsibilities

Now it is time to do our own
things we never thought before
we never had time to think 
about before

Let us celebrate our Retirement
age start doing our things and
enjoy the Golden Years we have
This is Gift from God for us
Thank You God

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees appreciate you writing an inspiring blog to help us be positive. We talked about it during our morning coffee meeting and were very appreciative of it.

    We have postponed our Smile Walk today also as it was not sunny and no. of retirees are not comfortable starting a new venture in inclement conditions. We are hoping to start that from tomorrow

    Again a new way of looking and admiring different ages of our lives and reminding us that old age is not useless, its time to enjoy and make the most of it.

    We have been enjoying the constant access to the blogs that our hand held devices provide us. We both frequently refer to the blog during the course of each day. It provides an opportunity to reflect on the blog and keep us current.

    Though we have been enjoying our daily dosage of Smile vitamins, we realize that we may have been short changing yourself by not providing our rudimentary comments. I hope you will excuse us for being negligent

    We wanted to share our perspective on your today's blog. It is true that we are more technologically advanced, it is also correct that we are making more elaborate use of the scientific achievements, as an example our handheld devices allow us to always keep us connected with your wise words, however we are wondering what your introspection is regarding stress and mental anxiety that it creates. We will be waiting for your contemplation, whenever you get a moment

    Dave and Linda

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 involved.

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 be done

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 of
