Signals from God

My Readers Family asking
why I was taking care of My
Grade 12 Grandson 

 Buying Bakery Stuff and keep
running between Library and Home
why My Son or My Daughter in Law
didn't take a Day off

 My Dear Friends when We are Retired
means We are now done with our
Life We are sitting on Empty Nest

Living Our Days as Bonus We are
now lonely and on our own

When We are living with Family it
is a Plus as We are not alone now
but please keep in Mind there is
nothing like a Total Plus

There are Minuses attached with
this Package We have to keep in Mind
We are living as an Extra Figure 
in the Family Unit

Nobody will kick us out of the House
still be very clear No one needs us
They will be fine without us

We living with our Son or Daughter
have to keep in Mind there is always
one Member in the House not Our Blood

 We are a burden in the heart of heart of
that Person these are hard Facts My
Dear but these are Facts and I don't
live in a Fool's Paradise

Now We have to take our Life as a Project
there is nothing wrong with that actually
it is a very positive thing

While taking care of My Grandson I was
working on many aspects first of all
thinking as We are a Family

I am not sitting on an empty Nest
I feel strong and confident that
still I can do things I can handle
Pressure

I can still give a support in some way
to My Kids They can depend on Me
in a way can have a Trust

We need these Push to keep us get going
to help us in giving positive attitude
and to keep us Strong

These are very important in the Days
when We are Old and Retired
this can change the whole Scenario
of Our Life

 These are the Moments of enlightenment
the opportunities I take as Signals from
God to Brighten Era of My Days
after Retirement

      SWN was fun too. We talked about Smile's blog from yesterday and how she did not change her schedule despite snow.

    I lost the race to post the blog on our corporate notice boards. It was already posted when I got there. Of course, there was also a box of fresh SDs with a note from SA

    Smile always give us good and practical advises.
    Actually, she is showing us how to imply them in our daily day to day lives and spread happiness in ourselves and to others.

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees did not go for our walk today because some of our members are still suffering from their very long walk from yesterday. It took some of us 20 minutes of walking yesterday. We however had our lollipop.

    Your blog created a big debate within our group and we had a very detailed dialogue about it. The subcommittee on joint family living led this discussion however all retirees participated in this as it is an important item for us. At the end, we came to the conclusion that we will like to humbly disagree with your analysis. The retirees think that for those of us who are living in joint family situations are contributing a lot to our families. We not only contribute practically but also with emotional support. We think that our support is often taken for granted by even our son or daughter, let alone by their spouses. We do agree with your thoughts that we should do more things that we like. We believe that this is the message that you are giving when you indicate that we should do our own projects

    Some of the retirees suggested that we go on a one day strike and presented a resolution to this effect however the resolution failed. They then submitted a a motion to condemn our kids for taking us and our support for granted and the motion passed with a simple majority. The motion being non-binding was able to garner more support than the resolution which is binding

    thank you again for discussing this important topic

    Dear Author,

    Your blog created a big debate in our school, specially in the sociology department. The dean was involved in the discussion as well. At the end the professor has asked the students to do an assignment on your blog. The assignment is for the role of seniors at home.

    Some of the students who have been part of the research and are frequent participants at the SRC were upset and giving your example. The prof clarified to them that this is not about Smile but the general role of seniors. She pointed out that Smile is not an ordinary retiree, so if we measure everyone with the same "Smile" scale, then majority will not measure up to her standards. At the end, there was no conclusion and will be discussed further during the course of the semester.

    Thank you

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...
