Trick and Treat
It is Friday Raining non stop since
Yesterday already 60 mm and
still 30 to come but nothing
stops here Life goes on
Today is PA Day at Schools so
Kids are Home sleeping
I am working Full Time today
Enjoying My 5 minutes Slot while
waiting for My Friend to pick Me up
He will be here at 9.30
Beautiful Morning I am standing
at the Door step of My House
it is raining so I skip My walk on
My Driveway
Enjoying the Bird Bath as couple of Birds
are in the very small puddle near the water
Drain beside the Basket Ball Pole
Red Caravan is shining at our Driveway
thanks to Rain My Son is working from
Home as He is worried about the Basement
After so much rain You don't know what
will happen water already started coming
through stairs from outside
He will try couple of things got from
Home Depot anyway I am enjoying
the scenic view of My Front Garden
Tree at the left side of our front yard
is full of Buds all around need just
a day or so to Bloom
Sitting in My Office Cubicle
I started thinking about My Retiree Friends
who wonder how I am able to handle
so many activities at My Age
I figured out after some Brainstorming
that I Trick Myself all the Time
with everything going around
I am Retired long time back now just
doing Darts and Carpet Bowling
but I call it as Working Part Time
and Full Time to Cheat Myself
and to feel Good
I try to be part of everything going
around My House My Family
like busy with Kitchen and with
My Grand Kids
This all to make Me feel as I am still
in the Ring My Son was going to Home
Depot to get Things for the Basement
I got ready in just 5 Minutes and jumped
in the car to go it was 9.30 at Night
I do these things to defy My Age like
going to Lake in winter to see whether
Lake is frozen or not
I Trick Myself from thinking about My Age
I go to many places in a Day none of My
Friends do that most of them don't
come daily to the Club and very few do
both the activities I mean Darts as well as
Bowling
I don't Drive but I have Friends in different
Groups of My Club so I have someone always
there for Me and We have good time together
I think this Trick and Treat Thing working
very well for Me so far so good
I always try to live in the present Moment
and always try to keep connected with God
and with All of his Creatures Big and Small
Thank You God I Love You
I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. Customers went for the Sunday services at the church. Priest talked about the Smile festival that is going on. As it is the last day of the festival, a no. of out of town customers joined us, they brought cake and flowers. The bakery is offering Smile cakes at a discount. They love Smile too.

Dear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteThe retirees went for our long walk today. After that we had our lollipop. 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.
As this is the Sunday of the week of your birthday, the retirees chose to reflect on your example. We did that so we can learn from the various aspects of your life. We noticed that you have mutiple friends. You have cultivated this friendship so you dont rely on your family. We also noticed that you read quite a lot. You also go to coffee shop. You write. You go for long walks. We talked about this for an hour but after that we ran out of time however not for all the things that you do
thank you for being such an inspiration to us

Dear Author,
ReplyDeleteWe had the reading of the blog at the Smile Garden in front of the SRC. We decided to the reading because we can read your blog and also try to experience nature the same way you do. As we were going through it we noticed that it is not easy to look at the bright side. It requires lot of practice.
For me and other students of English literature your blogs are a constant source of learning and knowledge. We enjoy your blog but also try to keep an eye out for the different techniques that you use. We were using some other authors like Herriot, Hemingway and a few others but your blog helps gives us a lot of different ideas as you have a versatile style
thank you

My Smile is amazing !! She is an amazing author. She has many amazing friends. She is an amazing friend to all readers. She is an amazing therapist. She has an amazing family. What an amazing person my Smile is!!
ReplyDeleteWe invited some friends at our place to partake in festivities of your birthday. We chose to use the event to introduce them to some of your unique brand of writing style and your innovative and deep perspectives. Some of the invited guests are accomplished authors and philosophers with significant chronicles as proof of their excellent professional successes. We were not surprised when they were perplexed that such a unique blend of literary genius and innovative philosophy can even exist. They were further impressed when we shared with them the generous temperament that you exhibit when you deal with your varied readership. Needless to say you have a few additions to your growing fan club
ReplyDeletethank you for making our days brighter

ReplyDeletecool Kyle
Hey Cool Kyle, stop being amazed at the freshness and variety of the blog. If you want to be impressed, then look at all the activities that Smile is involved in, from office activities (ie blog), to sports (darts, bowling and walks) to family (supporting her son financially and her grandkids physically).

good post
ReplyDeleteI was hoping that the end of the week will bring a change but I guess not. This is ridiculous. What a joke. I know, I know ...
DeleteThank you mrizvi. So nice of you to remember to comment. You do read before commenting, right?
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllmmmmmmmmmmmmm down, Plunker. Just reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllaaaaaaaaaxxxxxxxx. Kids today, you know. Yes we must be kind
DeleteBrilliant comment from you, mrizvi. Good job, kiddo
Read this if you have any doubt about how nicely Smile can write deep philosophy and package it in a folksy language that we can all relate to:
ReplyDelete"I always try to live in the present Moment
and always try to keep connected with God
and with All of his Creatures Big and Small
Thank You God I Love You"
Brilliant stuff
