This is weekend Beautiful Morning
Rain stopped for a while after 70 mm
it will be back not going anywhere till
Tomorrow 

I had My Breakfast of oatmeal cereal
stir fry egg with half a cup of Tea
I cook My oatmeal in small pot that
is enough for about a week

Put it in the Fridge take every Morning
two table spoon from that and microwave
for 1 minute with milk and one table
spoon of sugar it tastes as Fresh

I Love cooking but not for Myself
it is 10.30 I am going with My Son
to Petticoat Creek to watch the
Water Level 

 Body of Lake was full after so much
Rain not many people there just few
water was everywhere Benches were
half under water

The whole Parking Lot was under water
it was amazing to watch from the overhead
bridge also I walked down to have
a feel from different Spots

Morning Dew scattered like Pearls on the Grass
Water giving so many Shades from Deep Blue
to Black layers after Layers of Green and
the Last one was Muddy

Birds were excited and running from tree
to tree Red Cardinal was right there beside Me
Each and everything was worth to watch and
to lock in Your Memory Box

Yesterday I went to Frenchman's Bay
the other Spot of Lake to watch the
water level

It was raining at that time so I had My Hooded
Dull Olive Green and Grey Check Coat
which I got from Grimsby  while visiting
My Daughter in England

It was from an Antique Shop for 3 Pounds
I don't go for cost as far as it is comfortable
fine with Me this is very important
as reminds Me of My Daughter

Today on the way back from Petticoat Creek
I asked My Son to drop Me at Tim Horton
My favorite Coffee House to jot down
My Stray Thoughts

I will write My Blog and enjoy
My walk to Home after
I Love My Time alone 

I will be Home around 1 pm then give
Lunch to My Son and My Youngest
Grandson 

I Love to do Things for My Family
to get Happiness and to
Brighten My Days

 Thank You God for keeping Me mobile
at 7 pm I have to go to My Friends Gathering
with My Daughter in Law for Dinner
I am lucky to live in Day Tight Compartment

      SWN was fun too. We talked about Smile's blog about parenting. It created a big buzz.

      The forum on Smile's blogs are continuing to be very popular. Almost the entire corporate office wants to attend these sessions. I have been asked to start another series

    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

    Dear Advisor,
    The retirees did not go for our long walk today. We are still very tired from the walk from two days ago. 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 retirees were very surprised that you went to the lake and after that chose to go for a walk and after that had an evening engagement. None of the retirees can do all these 3 things in a single day. We also were surprised that in between these activities, you were engaged in other household tasks on a volunteer basis. This is something very difficult for us to understand. We wanted to see if you take some mineral or nutritional supplements?

    Also the health and nutrition committee wanted to thank you for the consistent guidance that you provide. They have started to work on establishing a recipe book based on the information that you have shared. They have also distributed this to other retirees. As an example we have changed our breakfast menu and are starting to have oatmeal. The committee is asking for additional insights

    thank you
    recent retiree

    This blog provided me with a perfect ice breaker for my business meeting today. I used the blog about active living and the Monday morning lethargic crowd was transformed when they realize that there are so many things which can be done in a single day

    Thank you Smile

    Dear Author,

    The students and the professors went through your blogs at the SRC. The literature and psychology professors helped explain some of your key concepts from the blogs from the weekend also. The other group is continuing to join us daily for the readings. They usually bring some snacks with them which is nice of them. We want to thank you for suggesting how to move forward

    thank you

    Smile has a unique knack of painting pictures with her pen which you can visualize with closed eyes. Look at this:

    Morning Dew scattered like Pearls on the Grass
    Water giving so many Shades from Deep Blue
    to Black layers after Layers of Green and
    the Last one was Muddy

    "Birds were excited and running from tree
    to tree Red Cardinal was right there beside Me
    Each and everything was worth to watch and
    to lock in Your Memory Box"

    And then she can easily talk about philosophical thoughts with words that we all can relate to.

    "Birds were excited and running from tree
    to tree Red Cardinal was right there beside Me
    Each and everything was worth to watch and
    to lock in Your Memory Box"

    Excellent invention of the metaphoric "Memory Box"!!

    Brilliant!!

  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
