Kris My Dear
Just focus on two things
Niklas staying home
and getting Good Marks

 You can't get everything
ignore other things

Taking Tablet away
or yelling not good idea

 Dear Retiree Friends
here is another Blog
on Joint Family Living

Literature Fellow
My Dear Friend

 I am here for You
don't You worry


 I have written number of Blogs
which give a picture as if we
baby Boomers are very pushy

Making Lives of our Kids miserable
by interfering and with our needs
which I put like Demands

I am not Happy to do all that
I myself come in that category
My Dear the picture I show
looks bleak but it is Reality

 I don't want to live in a Fairyland
unfortunately if we be realistic
we are a liability

An extra baggage for them to carry
long way He is our Son but His
Family will not be Happy

Situation for us not easy but we have
no option it is a hard fact

They are our Kids we brought them up
but pl. keep in mind it was our own
wish list to get married and have Kids

 They were not part of the Deal so why
they have to pay back for all this

 I don't want to scare anyone by writing
all this I just want to say that we have
to lead our Old age Era with open Mind
and with Dignity

 Having a clear picture of everything
we can minimize our expectations
find our own Hobbies

Find our own way of enjoying our Life
living together is tough for everyone
we have to keep in mind not easy
for our Kids too

 They have to do so many things around
us so we have to appreciate be polite
and have patience

Any grievances just forget and forgive
when our Son looks at our long face
it adds up his pressure We have to be
supportive

Every stage of our Life needs lots of
compromises and adjustments same is
our old age

 We have experience to handle all this
and to enjoy our Time with Grace
and Dignity

 Our road may be bumpy
but it is OK
we can talk to God
He is always listening

      I presented the workshop schedule for the Smile blog. The managers want more workshops and asked me to review the schedule again.

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees went for our long walk today. After that we had our lollipop. This walk, though very long for us, is nothing compared to the walks that you have. The retirees instead went straight to the reading of your blog.

    Today's blog provided a good perspective to us about the challenges of living in a joint family situation. Your blog enabled a big debate within the retirees. A few agreed with your perspective whereas some others thought that it is upto the children to take care of us. They said that they are not just fulfilling their duty but also getting good seasoned advice as part of this engagement. At the end, we could not decide one way or the other. We do want to request additional details on this topic. Specially how best to live in joint family situations

    Also a friendly remainder that the sub committee on joint family living and the subcommittee on nutrition have requested me to trouble you for additional material for them

    thank you again
    recent retiree

    Dear Author,

    The social science class reviewed your blog for an in-class discussion. Because of my assignment, I am required to attend those classes too. I am not sure if I can handle this work as it is too complex. Can you please help

    thanks

    Can you help. One friend forwarded your blog to me. Neither my friend nor me are your regular readers. I however am reaching out to you with the hope that you can. I think you have helped some people before

    My problem is that I am retired. I dont know why I should even get out of bed. I am so depressed/ This creates other problems eg I dont get hungry. I sleep most pf the day. I know life is a gift but I dread when the sun rises in the morning because I will need to face another day. If you cannot help thats ok too as it is a difficult problem

    thanks

      You know Plunker that kids will be kids. Why worry about them. Some are worse than others. And I guess we are dealing with one of the bad one

      Fantastic job mrizvi for informing us that this is a good blog. Much appreciated

    I dont know if Smile is better writer, better philosopher or better psychologist. Just look at this

    "Every stage of our Life needs lots of
    compromises and adjustments same is
    our old age

    We have experience to handle all this
    and to enjoy our Time with Grace
    and Dignity"

    This is an advice for the everyone!

    We all know that Smile has a factory of ideas. Every day there is a new one. What is impressive is how she can not only keep the quality of these ideas but makes them better almost every single day!

    Thanks Smile

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 invo...

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 ...

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...
