Not a Dooms Day

For  My Retiree Group and for all My Senior Readers 


When we retire we have our
eight hours time slot vacant
to be filled with anything we
choose or with as many
things as we love to fill
in that 8 hours empty basket

We don't have to consider
our day of retirement as
our Dooms Day it can be
considered other way round

 The day of joy to do our own
things to accomplish our dreams
to nurture our hidden talents
our inner beauty to flourish
for which we never had a chance
to even think as we had no time

 We can do all that now we are on
our own with all of our 24 hours
we can plan our days we have all
our options open no distraction

Sit with a cup of Tea or Coffee
with your favorite book in the
favorite corner of your back garden
spread pieces of bread and enjoy
Bird watching

 I like to walk and to be on my
computer and to go my Seniors
Club playing Darts and Carpet
Bowling 

My afternoons are with my family
I enjoy with them doing grocery
with my daughter in law and
putting snacks for my grand kids

I love cooking I believe Life starts
on kitchen counters I like to go
with my son when he drives
his kids to Hockey Arena

Just start doing whatever you like
no pressure please at this stage
of our life God wants us to be
relaxed and enjoy our life

I never forget to thank God for
keeping me in good health and
making me mobile I don't
drive but I can walk 
Thank you God for everything

    Dear Madam Smile, you write so many things for retirees. I hope they leave you alone now. You scientist so do science too, you teach hockey to son sons, you buy grocery for daughter in laws. I do 2 jobs and no time for hockey.

    Dear Advisor,

    Thank you for your detailed blog for us. We are having an emergency meeting later today to review your advice to us. Our ex Corporate executive will be the one facilitating this meeting. We are having this meeting in the evening as the corporate executive needs to update her spreadsheet of your generous guidance to us. She is also maintaining a lot of other documentation for analysis and that needs to be updated as well.

    Thank you again for taking the time to provide your guidance to us

    mrizvi: Though Madam Adviser's guidance is for us, we think that you can benefit from it as well

    You schooled us today in how to live our lives. You showed us how best to make the most of what we have, with what we have. You have been doing that all this week. And to be honest it is easier said than done. I think one of the other readers commented that you are in a different league than the retirees who you trying to coach, factually speaking, you are in a different league than all of us, the two of us kiddies included

    Thank you for taking the time to write for us.

    This "good post" is starting to get on my nerves now. Let me try to explain to you, as patiently as I can.

    We all know that this is a good post. IT is from Smile. Her writing has already been compared to Herriot, Dickens, etc so thats no surprise. The subject is always great. She keeps switching subjects so as to not make it boring. It is full of good content too. After all, she is a senior microbiologist, has been to many conferences at govt level etc. Her blog is being read by people from all over the world. Her writing is appealing to all different ages. So what are you accomplishing by your comment?

    Just think about it

    AS for the retirees, I hope you guys got what you wanted, now dont bother Smile again

    thank you

  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
