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.

    mrizvi: you please read Madam blog. She very good

    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.

    Dave and Linda

    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

    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
