My Dear Kris
forget about Sugar Cane Juice Father can wait

 Please focus on Niklas 
My Son spent Days and Weeks
to work with His Son
to choose University

 Niklas can not do alone
He needs help
His Career is important

It is Tuesday 14 Degrees Bright and Sunny
a bit cool We need light Jacket
I am off Today no Club activities for Me
I have My day Plan ready

Morning Shower then couple of hours
on computer checking Messages
reading Comments from My
Readers Family

It is 11.30 I am on the Road for My Walk
Freshly cut grass so Refreshing to Behold
and to enjoy the Scent of Nature

Lilac purple Flowers so Beautiful also
the atmosphere around is scented out of this

Big Rose like pink Flowers of Peonies looking
Great at My Next Door Neighbor's Front Garden

Small Black Birds with Deep Red Wings
Sitting on Electric Wire above the
Railway Track also the small Black Bird
With Dark Blue colored Head

My Dear Retirees and My Senior Friends
please don't ever feel low and down
I told You earlier 

Don't take Old age as a Sickness or Weakness
it is our Golden Era to enjoy 

Being Single Mom for nearly whole of My Life
with Work and family of 5 Young Kids
I never had Time for Myself to take a Break
to think about Myself never to enjoy 

This is My Time Out I know I am getting Older
Day by Day losing My Strength now during
My Walk sometimes while coming back

 I have to sit down near Dunbarton School
on the Benches at Bus Stop it is mid way
to My Home and Bridge is Uphill Walk 

I don't live in Fool's Paradise I am aware
of My Weaknesses but We don't have
Only Our Body 

We have our Brain Our Mind along with
our long Experience on our Resume
of dealing our Life all along

 We have to make use of Everything to make
this Era of our Life Beautiful 

 I think Old Age is just one of the stages of
our Life Cycle like our Childhood and
Our Youth Period 

We don't have to be alarmed by our Old age
it is the way You look at it not Glass Half Empty
It is Glass Half Full My Dear

We Have Our Own Time to make our Own Plans
Just Do it and Enjoy Your Days

 I am at Tim Horton it is full of Young Faces
Students from High School
They give Me Hope and Assurance 

 Their Happy Faces look like giving Me
Signals and Messages like saying to Me
Don't You worry We will take care of the
Days to come

We will Clear The Mess around the World
May God Please take care of their Smile their
Happiness their Confidence --  Amen

 They are our Asset our Future our Hope
keep watching over Them please
Thank You God

      SWN was fun too. In our case, participants still were talking about Smile's blog from 2 days ago. There still is a big debate going on about it

    Dear Advisor,
    The retirees did not go for our long walk today. We are still very tired from the walk from yesterday. The retirees instead went straight to the reading of your blog.

    The retirees appreciate the comments that you wrote today. We debated about the blog for quite some time but could not come to a conclusion about the messaging that you shared. Some interpreted it that you are indicating that old age is an opportunity for us to slow down and enjoy life, whereas others took this as an admonishment of our slow and lethargic nature. For those, who considered your blog as admonishment pointed out that your activities are not even close to what we can accomplish. As an example, you help your grandkids whereas our grandkids help us. You encourage your kids whereas it is just the opposite for us. We dont cook or go for walks as you do. We are wondering if you can please help clarify to us

    The Smile Encyclopedia subcommittee is asking for your guidance in helping organize your blogs. If you can please provide suggestions

    thanks
    recent retiree

    Dear Author,

    The students and the professors read your blog at the SRC today. The students were not surprised that your son spent so much time with his son to help me select the university. All our parents did that. The professors mentioned that the fact that you were there to help your grandson is a plus. The Dean mentioned that though you have not written about it, you must have played a key role in the selection of the university.

    The literature students again went through the reading of the blog. The literature professors find your blogs as very stimulating for the mind as well as for reading.

    We have started the Smile Encyclopedia project. I have been selected as the student lead whereas the Dean is the sponsor. There was a debate about which professor should be the lead as your blogs span multiple faculties. The Dean suggested that we have multiple co-leads. Based on the suggetion, senior most profesors in Science, Social Sciences, Psychology, Philosophy and English Literature will be co-leading the project. The team will include quite a few other students and professors but we have not worked out all the details yet. If you have any suggestions then please let us know

    thank you
    Literature Fellow

    This blog was instrumental in the success of our business meeting today. Our progress was slow as participants were looking to take frequent breaks. When I went through the blog, they realize that you need to work hard and only then relax. They were inspired by Smile's examples

    You know Plunker that kids will be kids. Why worry about them. Some are worse than others. And I guess we are dealing with one of the bad one

    Fantastic job mrizvi for informing us that this is a good blog. Much appreciated

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 involved.

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 be done

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 of
