Rare Moments
Today is one degree in Toronto
light flurries are on their way
it is end of November so how
long can be Summer and how
late winter can be
We are more than ready to welcome
and embrace our cold and snow
just bring it on
Now no more outdoor walking
to my favorite spot Tim Hortons
My apologies to all my Retiree
friends for my Blog Intruder
It is a bitter tablet to swallow
but unfortunately it is a hard
fact not a fiction it is reality
we have to accept with open
Heart and clear Mind
Our children graciously never
let us know but think about it
Now I continue my Blog
I am sitting in Don Bear Hockey
Arena my eldest grandson is
coaching PV team my youngest
grandson is playing in that team
game will be in Rink # 1
For me a Grandma such a unique
opportunity to watch and enjoy
I avail every opportunity to get out
They had to leave the house at 11 am
for their game to be started at 11.45
I had shower before 10 am not to miss
the chance to go with them
I am happy I did that their game
will be done around 1 pm I had
2 hours time slot to enjoy how
lucky am I
God provides so many chances
to enjoy Life
Please read my Blog tomorrow My
Retiree friends may get some Tips
I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. Customers are discussing the blog. They are starting their Smile Walks from here.
ReplyDeleteMy small shop is starting to be like a community hall. Customers asking to put more sofa as they don't get space to sit, but there is no space.
I lost the race to post the blog on our corporate notice boards. It was already posted when I went there
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Jasmeet posted it. We post it earlier because we want to read it with our morning coffee. We can discuss some of the topics in some of the client meetings as ice breakers.

The 1st Smile Forum this morning was a huge success. Even though 20 people were invited 22 showed up. Great discussion. Smile is changing lives and productivity.
DeleteWe will have the next 2 Smile Forums in the next few days

Jimmy, Instead of posting the blog in the cafeteria, can you post in lobby D. That's a more central location. Also there is a lot of requests from the leaders in lobby C to have it available there too. I know it is a lot of work for you, but there is a lot of interest in these blogs.
Deletethank you
Cleo (on behalf of a lot of people in lobbies C and D)
Dear Madam Smile, you no need to say sorry. You say right things all time. You big shot. You so knowledge person. You so energy too. You eat at big restaurants, you teach hockey son sons, you go government conferences, you help so many people. You big shot. I do 2 job so no go to any restaurant. Only eat what left over from day before
ReplyDeleteDear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteThe retirees appreciate the time that you are taking to write for us. We met today and passed a resolution to express our appreciation to you. We also discussed our ideas about your concept of "Intruder" and have a few thoughts of our own. I respectfully submit them to you as our perspective on the issue.
The retirees don't think that we should consider ourselves as Intruders but members of the family. We do however agree with your thoughts that due to social considerations and in the spirit of accommodating other family members, we sometimes should make comprises but that's true for us at any stage of our life. Bottom line, we the retirees feel, that it really depends how one looks at this. If I am not watching my favourite program because my grandson wants to watch sports, or if instead of going to my favourite dinner, we go to the dinner of my daughter in law's choice, or if we don't have some friends over because my son in law is not comfortable with them, then that does not make us any less because they also accommodate some of our wishes too, At times, we don't recognize those wishes but they still do.
Due to the meeting, we postponed our Smile Walk to tomorrow. The meeting was too tiring for many of our members

Dear recent retiree, It good that you meet and say she give advice and you say thank to her but please no question Madam. I told my family that I intruder because Madam say it. She say day, then say day. She say night, then night. She knowledge person, she watch bird, she big scientist, she teach hockey to son sons. She give so advise to you. You no walk. You no watch bird. You only talk. I do 2 job and no time but I read blog.
DeleteFather say you no say sorry. He say you very active. He say you 40 or 30 because you do lots of thing. He say I take him to watch football game but only for 30 mins because he tired and it very cold in Germany. It is 14C sometimes it is 12C and he is very old ie 67 years

I like you blog China but I no like when you say that parent no family
ReplyDeleteI am from Italian culture and in our culture parents and in laws are part of the family. There are lots of fights and disagreements but we still have large family. I think some people in Asian cultures also have large family

My Smile is amazing! She is an amazing parent! She is an amazing writer! She is an amazing poet! She has an amazing family! What an amazing person my Smile is!!
ReplyDeleteI respectfully disagree with Smile. Parents are not intruders, they are part of the family. Of course living in a large family require adjustments, sacrifices and compromises from all, including parents. If parents are not getting what they want then it does not mean that they are any less than others in the family.
ReplyDeleteDear Boris,
DeleteMadam Smile is so nice, she so knowledge person, she top scientist, she know leather, she know hockey, she take care of son sons but she know feel bad, she enjoy feeding them, if she say something then we reader should no say something else. If she is night, then we say night, if she is day, then we say black. If she is telling you, that you no family then you say you no family. I told my family that I no family because Madam say no family. I do 2 job and no time but always read blog
