Congratulations 
My Dear Literature Fellow
and Your colleagues

for High Marks
in the Project
I am Happy for You people

 My Dear Friend 
doing 2 Jobs

 if someone asking about
My Blog please
let them know


When I look back I think all of
My Blogs about Joint Family Living
and also about Retirement Period
were because of one person only

That is My Dear Kris Father
I am writing My Blogs for quite a
while and feel fortunate that
people share their problems

They have trust that the situation
will be dissolved and every time
it happened

But Kris Father is a very tough
character I think when we are
determined not to listen not to
budge in nothing can be done

I think such cases are due to the
inside loneliness or may be due to
a difficult childhood period

Like a Scar people carry throughout
their Life I have written Blogs after
Blogs just around Him but nothing
happened

Then I regret one of My Blog about
Nutrition for My Retiree Group
Subcommittee where I mentioned
that I take Oatmeal Cereal in
My Breakfast

Now My Dear Kris Father has one more
item added in His wishlist beside the Soup
which He likes very much

 Still not Happy as He is 67 which I don't
think as an Old age still He thinks
it is and so doesn't want to go to Mall
in evenings and on weekends

For Him it is too crowded to walk
He keeps pushing His son to take
Day off so to enjoy His walk
in day time

He has to yell as the quality of Oatmeal
for which His Daughter in Law has to
get up 15 minutes early every day
and the quality of Soup which she makes
is not upto His taste

Being Retired to enjoy His Life He needs
full TV access so has to yell at His
Grandson to leave TV and to give
Him company

Grandson has easy way out to go to Friends
This is not the story of one House

I believe at least 90% are going through
the same situation in joint Family Living
where Kids of We Baby Boomers are
sandwiched between this situation

Because of all this the Next Generation
is the Victim and caught into Cross Fire

Focus of our Kids now has to be shifted
from the Next Generation to the previous
Generation

Not finished yet if things not going our way
we have one more weapon to threaten our Kids
that is like our Trump Card

We start calling Old Homes as if we will be
moving out believe me it will never happen
we know our Kids and trust them

They will never let this happen but
something to keep them on track

I feel pity for our Next Generation
to suffer because of all the situation
caused by We Baby Boomers

We were in Lime light throughout our Life
we don't want to be on back benches
we were really Big Shots 

We can't change our style we don't have to
we did so much for our Kids for our Family
now it is their turn Not a Big Deal 

With this attitude we live with our Son
along with His Family

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees were very pleased to see today's blog. We were a little apprehensive in the morning when we woke up and did not see the blog. We attributed to the inefficiencies of technology.

    The retirees went for our walk today. It was very arduous, almost 10 minutes. Though the walk was long, it was nothing as compared to the walks that you have. After that we had our lollipop.

    The blog was very relevant to many of the retirees' situations. It was like you are holding a mirror and showing us our ugly side. We all confessed that we exhibit these behaviours all the time. This is not just true for those living with their families but also those living in retirement housing. We are hoping that at some point, you can share some additional insights as to how we can correct these behaviours

    Thank you
    recent retiree

    Dear Author, we were so relieved and so happy to see your blog today. All of us friends did a little happy dance when we read your blog today. We did not do this celebration for our grades but for the blog

    Thank you very much for congratulating us. To be very honest, we would not have got that without your help. In fact, our fellow students are taunting us that we cheated as we had the help of a high powered author. They are saying that it is not a big deal.

    Thank you again

    So pleased to see today's blog. When I woke up this morning and did not see the blog, I thought that there is something wrong with my computer. I rebooted a couple of times, then I called my internet provided, and when they confirmed that everything is ok with my network, I was getting worried. I read the last few blogs and then boom, today's blog popped up.

    Fantastic!

    Thanks Smile

    Like many others, I also start my day by reading this blog. During weekdays, it provides me an opportunity to get material that I can use during the business meetings whereas on weekends, I typically use it for finding solace. I was also perplexed when I didnt see the blog this morning. I have 2 computers which use different Operating Systems. I tried both, and then checked with my ISP. Luckily I slept in so didnt have to wait that long to get the blog

    thanks Smile

    PS: It was worth it.

    Perhaps we were never as relieved and pleased at the same time as today. We had no notion of our deep affinity, bordering on addiction, to your writing until today. In hindsight, it was a good reminder for your fan base as we do rely on your blog for our mental nourishment and spiritual nurturing.

    Your todays piece was spot on. It identified a demographic problem that the society is facing in perhaps the western hemisphere. The fact that intellectuals like yourself, have started to focus on the issue, gives hope that there may be some options being presented in due course to arrest the issue.

    To celebrate the day, we have invited some friends over. We intend to do a joint reading of the blog, and also indulge in some celebratory gourmandization

    thank you for making our days brighter

    Dave and Linda

    Like everyone else, we are also very happy to read today's blog. We are also celebrating. Based on Italian tradition, we are celebrating with festive food. My mother in law is preparing the "Feast of the Seven Fishes" whereas I am preparing pandoro, torrone and a candied citrus studded loaf of panettone

    Thank you Smile. You changed our life

    Happy Reader (on behalf of the entire family)

      This is starting to be a bizzaro world. I mean, is there anyone home? Is there anyone listening?

    Smile is a miracle worker. See how simply she has used the example of one family and used it to illustrate the general malaise in the society. Just look:

    "I believe at least 90% are going through
    the same situation in joint Family Living
    where Kids of We Baby Boomers are
    sandwiched between this situation

    Because of all this the Next Generation
    is the Victim and caught into Cross Fire"

    Simply brilliant!!

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...

     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...
