Solitude
I am Thankful to You
My Dear Readers
It is because of
You People
I write My Daily Blogs
And get a chance to revive
Lessons of Happiness
to refresh
Such an important Aspect
of My Life
Kris My Dear Friend
I think Father is the only
Grandpa who yells
at His Grand Kid
as far as I know
I remember the whole time
I have to save My Grand Kids
from their Parents
Whenever they are angry
with them I try to cover up
to dissolve the situation
Keep chocolate and sweets
in My secret Drawer
give them small
money as a reward
To make them Happy
it gives Me Happiness
in turn
At least I would never let
My Grand Kid sit
on the broken Sofa
I would rather prefer
to fight with My Son
for them
We Grandparents
have to be their
source of Love
Hope and ultimate
support
No matter what
they have to trust
that We are always
there for them
So they don't have to
worry about the petty
Matters
Some people say I am alone
feeling lonely
nothing to do
When we are lonely don't take it
as Negative don't feel low
it is an opportunity
it is Solitude
Solitude is not Loneliness
don't get scared of that
it is like to be with Yourself
to be alone for a while
When we can give all the time
to Ourselves
We are cut off from the outside
world no distractions no time
sharing with anyone
It is like My time take it like a
Blessing a signal from God
when He wants us to be focused
To dig out our inner Talents our
inner beauty this is our chance
to do anything we want
Solitude is like sitting alone but please
don't mix it up with loneliness
to feel low and get depressed
If we drain out all our thoughts
to take our Mind in No Man Land
like we are at some deserted Island
We have all the options to explore
and to survive remember the beautiful
TV Show Swiss Family Robinson
where they were forced to do things
For their survival and got all the
happiness in return
I look nearly half a century back when
my husband was working as an Editor
in a Daily Paper
He had long hours we had a very big house
we were living far away from Family and
friends a distance like from Toronto
to Calgary
I was staying home as Kids were small
I started reading books which initiated
my writing skills
This keeps me busy and brightened the
Retirement Period of My Life
Solitude is a Gift from God just for You
don't feel bad and low take it as a Blessing
take it as a chance to make your Life wonderful

SWS was great. As usual there was a big group of people today. We went for the nature walk
DeleteTiara
SWN was fun. There was a lot of discussion about Smile's blog. Participants pointed out that Smile is helping her entire family have a better life by creating a more comfortable environment for them.
DeleteCleo
Interestingly in one of the meetings with the management to review workshops schedule, one of the managers pointed out that Smile has a practical way of loving her grandkids. As an example, she takes care of their dietary needs when they return from school and even goes to their games to provide them moral support.

Such a beautiful way to describe loneliness and reminding us,it's a blessing and how can we make most of it.
ReplyDeleteDear Sheema, Madam no describe loneliness. She describe solitude. I know it very complicate. If you no understand then you ask me. I no tell if you no ask because Madam say no tell if no ask. I do 2 proud job and no tell if no ask
DeleteDear Madam Smile,

Dear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteThe retirees did not go for our long walk today. We are still very tired from the walk from yesterday. Some of the retirees are still suffering from cramps also. 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.
The blog was of special interest to the seniors as we deal witih this issue on a regular basis. It is a very positive aspect that we keep missing out.
The subcommittee on parenting also appreciated your blog. As I may have mentioned previously, the subcommittee include 2 senior retired child psychology experts and a retired counsellor who used to specialize in elementary and high school student counselling. They all agreed that this blog is significant. They indicated that providing a comfortable atmosphere to kids is critical for their mental and emotional growth. One of the members of the subcommittee who is an eminent psychologist commented that it appears Smile is a child psychologist because he is learning a lot from her
The subcommittee on physical health and well being is asking for additional advice from you. Also the subcommittee on nutrition is asking for the same
thanks

Dear Author,
ReplyDeleteThe students and the professors are feverishly working towards the Apr 1 deadline. Your todays blog provided us with some good ideas. One of our sociology professor pointed out that this is a unique perspective. He is intending to do a research paper on this theme. The professor is quite famous for his deep research and the fact that he does not give credit to anyone else, so it came as a surprise when he tipped his hat to Smile
Thank you for your help in guiding us

My Smile is amazing! She is an amazing social scientist. She is an amazing poet. She is an amazing writer. She has an amazing family. What an amazing person my Smile is!!
ReplyDeleteHoly Moly! This kid is completely rebellious. I mean, just give me a break, will yeah!
ReplyDeleteThanks mrizvi. This is a brilliant comment.
Yup - the world is upside down when it comes to the young'uns. Everything is cool. Everything fun. Not worth getting high blood pressure because of this. Just go with the flow.
ReplyDeleteWonderful comment mrizvi. Lovely stuff. Pretty good guess too
We were reminded by our conscientious team that we have been very miserly when it comes to congratulating you on your accomplishments. The fact is that we have been taking your astounding achievements in stride. We are so used to your superhumanly capacities that we simply consider them as quotidian.
ReplyDeleteWe deliberated on establishing on the copacetic course of action and were counselled that aside from simply felicitating you, we will use this as an opportunity to inspire our organization. We thus came to the indubitable decision that we will fete the achievements of your grand children by organizing a shindig. One of our colleagues went and came back returning a few minutes later laden as to victual a regiment.In summary all had a good time, courtesy you and your grandson.
Thank you for making our days brighter

HI, readers,
ReplyDeleteLove SOLITUDE! It took me a long time to know the meaning of it. Now, alone is never a problem. Always have something to feel my mind. Could be computer, reading, watching the birds from the window. I feel at peace, happy, even young. Am a grand-ma of ten. Am still only early seventies. Happy to be alive today, able to walk, in no pain most time, not having to go to work. Solitude is always welcome, am never lonely or rarely.
I leave my kids live their life, do enjoy when am call to help or be with them. am not a burden for them. Would like to be with them more, but that is ok. Am religious too and participate in meeting and volunteering when I can. Have a full life. Busy bee!
LOVE solitude... Hope you do too.
