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.

    My 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

      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.

      We 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.

      thank 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

    Dear Advisor,

    The 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

    I 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

    I 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.

      Dear Boris,

      Madam 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

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
