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

    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

  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
