Not a Cage

To My Readers Family

In my Blog  "Driving Seat" 
I mentioned about
my raking of leaves 
it gave lots of stir in my
Readers Family

Please keep in mind
no one is pushing me
to do anything

I am happy that no one is
stopping me from doing anything
which I like to do and I want to do
to have fun and to give color
to my Day to day Life

It was 8 at night my eldest
grandson had a hockey game
at Don Bear Arena 

I was done with my dinner
enjoying my hot cup of tea
and getting ready to get out

It was 6 degrees below zero
I can't resist going out if I had
any chance I don't care where

I avail any chance which in my
opinion is a signal from God
to get out and to defy my age

As I mentioned in my earlier
Blog that age is a number
don't go with that

I am sitting now in Hockey Arena
moving around and having
a feel of the buzzing atmosphere
the young happy faces the
music around 

To be with my family in such
a festive atmosphere I have
every right to feel myself
as one of the Lucky ones at
my age to enjoy everything

I don't want to be in my cage
with iron curtain drawn

To be cut out from the outside
world and from the activities
just by putting a label of old age
like stigma 

Being old is not a curse to stick
with me for the rest of my life
I can't do that

I am ready to defy my age and
will celebrate with whatever
I could to me my golden age
is like my golden Era

I will chalk out big plans for
my golden time with no pressure 
of work and family life

I am like a Project manager 
in full control for the rest of my
enchanted years in hand I am
looking forward and doing
everything to make it a success

Never take life too seriously
just go with the flow like
a Butterfly like a Musical Node
like a Smile 

Just do it and move around
that's it God will take care of
the rest we don't have to worry
about

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees had a long meeting today to review your blog from today. The meeting was requested by a no. of retirees as they wanted to discuss some of the points you made in today's blog. We wanted to see if we can incorporate some of the activities that you do, in our routine. As an example, you talked about going to a game at night on a weekday at -6 temp. We dont go out at night even during a weekend. Also we dont go out if the temp is below +18C. Some of the young retirees (ie in mid fifties) do go out at +12 C or so but those are the adventurers. We concluded that you are too active for us and we cant do all the things that you do in 1 year, let alone in 1 week or 1 day. We are wounding if you can give us some additional advice.

    We also did not go for a Smile Walk as we could not get to a consensus on the route to take or the duration of the walk. We were thinking of 10 mins but some were finding it to be too much. We are hoping to start the walk tomorrow

    My mother in law was completely in awe after reading your today's blog. She mentioned it to my father in law and he said (and I quote) " I never even did these things when I was 30, you cant expect that I will do this now". Afterwards they had a big argument. My father in law said that my mother in law does not take care of our kids, let alone giving them snacks, whereas my mother in law retorted that my father in law does not rake leaves or go with kids to their games.

    A Happy Reader

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
