Never Give Up
My Dear Retiree Friends
please don't give up
I am proud of all you doing
in Your Subcommittees
All My Blogs are around
You and Your Activities
It means You are indicating
that I have to give up
writing My Blogs
Just start Your activities
as usual go back to normal
I wanted You People
to stand for Yourself
don't look to anyone
Feel strong to lead
Your Life
Don't take Retirement period
as a disease or as a gloomy
stage a sad part of your Life
I have written so many Blogs
on after Retirement
I believe this is our Golden Era
We can do anything we like
We can spend as much time
as we want wherever we want
Retirees My Dear Friends
You have changed
so many Lives
You made so much difference
in so many sectors
of our Society
Don't suspend any of
Your Activities please
Thank You
It is Thursday Great Morning
temperature is 4 plus and Sunny
Tree skeletons are now having
green tinge on their bony branches
It looks they are having a Twinkle in
their Eye
Giving a Message of Contentment
of survival -- courage and perseverance
as if saying We managed Canadian
Brutal cold
Saying to us to We Humans
Never Give Up
just hang in there
and You will make it
I had My Shower
I take shower every day but wash
My Hair I mean shampoo just twice
a week as I am losing My Hair fast
I use soap for My Body every other day
not daily as we are getting older
we have to cut down use of chemicals
on our skin it gets dry and harsh
I don't use any cream on My Body but
never forget to use petroleum jelly
that is Vaseline to put on my feet
before wearing My socks
I think it helps taking care of My feet
for my walking and use any cream
on My face once a Day
My Daughter while visiting from Edmonton
Alberta in last summer gave Me lipsticks
and Eyeliner which I always forget to use
She also gave Me Ruby Pendant with matching
Earrings
This all is lying down in My drawer
I am not that type
Anyway I am planning to walk to Library
every Thursday there is indoor Golf at 1 pm
By the way I use only vitamin D and Calcium
as My medicines for my long term Osteoporosis
and six monthly Vitamin D injections
I think this will cover all the information
My Retiree Friends asking for their
Nutrition and Healthy Living Research
It is 11.30 I was thinking to go first to
Tim Horton to enjoy passing through
Dunbarton High School
After that to Library for Golf at 1 pm
but My Friend called to let me know
that Golf has been cancelled for Today
I am now on Whites Road walking to
Coffee House as it is lunch time at school
so it is like a festive atmosphere
Some students sitting down outside
Tim Horton Coffee House
I Love to watch them with their Happy Faces
spreading Happiness around
I am enjoying My small coffee with toasted
raisin biscuit and writing My Blog
it is 1 pm My Eldest Grandson has his
Exams today so He will be early
I will make Banana shake for Him
I am nearly done with my Coffee
I throw away half of My small Coffee
can not take the whole of it
Now walking back to My Home
to make nice snacks for My
Grand Kids and to enjoy My time
with them
I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. This being Saturday, lots of customers are in my shop today to read blog. They come here to read blog from today and also the past week. There is no room inside, and people are waiting outside. I am running low on supplies. The priest is also here today. He is making notes. Customers are talking about Smile's blogs about retirement and the role of elders in homes and in society

Dear Madam Smile, you write so good and give so good advice. I see Mr. Supervisor, I say hello. He say how you. I say I no use soap now. He say what you mean I no understand.

I do 2 proud job and always read blog
ReplyDeleteDear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteThe retirees did not for our walk today as we were very tired and had cramps from our earlier walks. We instead went to the reading of your blog. Our walks, though very long for us, are nothing as compared to the ones that you have.
The retirees were very appreciative of your kind words for us. We also were appreciative of the fact that you are trying to help improve our morale. We discussed that today. Though your blog was helpful, but during the debate that ensued after reading of the blog, the retirees are not sure if you are saying the kind words out of kindness or in reality. We thought that the blogs you wrote in which you indicated that all retirees are useless, a burden on their families and extra figures for our kids were very real. There are still a lot of retirees who are feeling very depressed. In fact, our attendance in these joint readings has dropped to less than half. Only 2 chairs of the subcommittees showed up today. This includes the lead of the joint living committee and the nutrition subcommittee. Though the lead of the joint subcommittee wanted to read your today's blog again but I felt that the chair the nutrition subcommittee was feeling very down. Usually she ask for your advice but today when I asked her if I should request your inputs on nutrition, she responded that "no, there is no point". Bottom line, we have a crisis.
Personally for me, though I am a little down myself, but your blogs have helped to improve somewhat.
thanks

ReplyDeleteDear Author,
ReplyDeleteAs our practice, we read your blog at the SRC. Though it is the weekend but there still are a lot of students and some professors at the SRC. We are helping some of the students with their sociology assignment about the role of the seniors in society and at home. We are finding out that this is a tough assignment. We are are also taking advantage for the advice that you wrote for the retirees today. Also, though the sociology professor has said that we cant use you as an example, we still are trying to use some ideas from your blog eg going for walks, appropriate usage of chemicals such as soaps and creams, appropriate dietary and supplements such as vitamins. I hope you are ok with us including that. We want to do that so that we can showcase you to help others.
By the way, there is a rival group of students and professors who are still trying to defame you. The dean is aware of it. I am wondering if you have any advice for us about how to deal with them.
thanks

ReplyDeleteFantatic job kiddo. You are bang on. How did you know that this is a good blog! You are right though
Smile's blog today has a lot of good stuff. It has the literary excellence. I am referring to:
ReplyDelete"Tree skeletons are now having
green tinge on their bony branches
It looks they are having a Twinkle in
their Eye
Giving a Message of Contentment
of survival -- courage and perseverance
as if saying We managed Canadian
Brutal cold "
And then another implicit message of hope to the retirees:
"Now walking back to My Home
to make nice snacks for My
Grand Kids and to enjoy My time
with them"
She is amazing!
