My Dear Retiree Friends
I Never use any References I told You Before
I Think You Don't Trust Me
I write My Daily Blog in a go that's why Blog
Getting so Long I can not Tap My Flow of
Thoughts which keeps on coming
I am Happy as I switched on My Computer
I got 13 Comments right away on My Blog
I am Proud of My Readers Family
I was on My Face Book read Messages from
My Daughters and of My Childhood Friend
From Grade Five She lives in Sydney
She is in Different Time Zone She writes every
Night I get the Message every Morning
We value very much this Communication
It is like Golden Bond She writes all Her Daily
Routine Her Problems We Share Everything
It is very important when Someone Listening
and You have Trust in that Person
Problems when Shared are No more Problems
We Feel all the Pain and Pressure is now
Transferred to the Person who is Listening
He has taken the Charge to Find the Solution so
Nothing to Worry about Our Problem File now
goes somewhere inside to Brain Cabinet with
Wait and see Marker
The Action now changed from Urgent and
Immediate to see You Later and can be Delayed
My Dear Retired Social Scientist You are asking Me
How I maintain My Long Term Relationships
My Dear -- My Recipe is Very Simple if someone is
Waiting give Her a Call Don't Wait
My Family and Friends don't Call but I know the
Way They Response My Calls like " I was waiting
for Your Call " and also the Tone the Warmth and
the Excitement in Their Voice
I keep in Mind to connect to Them -- My Sisters and
Brother Once a Week My Daughters nearly Every Day
My Husband Died in 1976
I am still connected to His Sister and Sister in Law
His Brother died 5 Years Back I call Them at least
Twice a month They live Back Home My Husband's
Niece Lives in Sudbury I call Her once a month
They have so much Trust in Me that 10 Years
Back She has some Serious Problems in Her
Marriage and My Brother in Law called Me
To Look into the Matter
I rushed to Her in Greyhound Bus with Her address
and Her Phone # I never been there Sudbury is 6 Hours
away from Toronto
By the Grace of God now She is living Happily with
Her Daughter and Second is on the Way
One of My Friend from Community had an accident
She was Bed ridden -- I used to call Her Every Day
She died 2 Years Back Her Family is very Connected
To Me because of My Calls
I Think All Creatures of God must Have some
Connection it is our Moral obligation -- Our Moral
Duty -- It is Sort of Saying Thank You to God
To our Great Creator who always taking care of us
We have to give Support to His Creatures
My Tuesday is My " Call Day " one of my University
Friend from 1960 lives in Markham 20 Minutes away
We Don't see each other as We don't Drive still
I Call Her once a month to keep Connected
These Connections Brighten the Days of the
People We Call and always Make our Day
When We are getting Older these Connections play
Very important Role in Our Life as We are now
Retired sometimes living Alone -- if Living with
Family
We know We have so much to Tackle -- We Need
Help and Support We are waiting for Love from
Anywhere like a " Welcome Center "
We are Ready to Welcome all Calls from anywhere
from Anyone
I always give a Call if Someone is Back from
Hospital or Surgery -- Even She is not My Friend
She May be from My Club or Community
It Doesn't Matter She is from Human Family
and Family is Family
I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. The customers could not believe that you care so much about them. One customer brought a big cake and wrote "Thank You Smile. We love you" on it. She offered it to everyone. She asked me before offering it to confirm if I will be ok with it as it will cut down on my biscuit sales, I told her that this will be my honour, I dont mind if I lose the sale for the whole week let alone one or 2 days. There was very limited attendance in the church today as almost everyone is here in the Smile corner instead of going to the church. Out of town customers are here too

ReplyDeleteDear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteThe retirees went for our long walk today. Our walk was just under 10 mins, including breaks. Our walk though very long for us, is nothing compared to the ones that you have. After the walk, we went for our lollipop
The retired social scientist led the reading of the blog today. She believes that this is worth 2-3 PhD level thesis. Looking at the puzzled looks on our faces, she clarified that the techniques you have documented in your blog will spawn a no. of research projects. She is planning to reach out to her professional network and will ask those who are still working, to immediately start research on the area. She expressed her intent to be personally be involved in overseeing this research. She was still perplexed that you dont have any reference material and came up with this theory on your own.
The retired chef has successfully been able to reach out to two of the 5-star properties who have started offering spicy bread based on your recipe. As is the general practice, they will offer it as a temporary special to gauge feedback and will take decision to include in the menu based on that. The cafe manager is also planning to start running a pilot once the Morning Smile has stabilized. As an FYI, the Morning Smile is a big hit here. Instead of being a breakfast special only, the cafe manager is thinking of offering it all day. He is wondering if you have any thoughts on this?
thanks

Dear Author,
ReplyDeleteThe students read your blog at the SRC. The Dean was here temporarily however we have not seen him since this morning. There is a rumor that the news about the unfortunate incidents have reached the Chancellor and the fact that he did no inform the police is being questioned. The rumor is that he is temporarily suspended. Please note that this is a rumor and we have not seen any official announcements however the Dean looked very worried this morning. He briefly stayed after listening to the blog and asked us to do a thorough inspection of the Smile Garden. The Smile Garden cant be locked as it is an open area and there are no gates. The students came again today but he again didnt listen to them and asked them to go. The senior volunteer and the school students who were seen with the bag are not found yet. During the inspection we found a copy of the blog from near the location where the bag was found. We dont know if the police has been informed but we have not seen there presence as yet. It is a very chaotic atmosphere. The Smile Army and the Smile feeders are insisting that they will continue to do their jobs as this is their commitment to you. Though the Dean was here for a few minutes and looked very upset, he still asked me to thank you on his behalf and on behalf of all the students that you have helped. Thank you.
Please dont thank me for posting updates. It should be YOU we should be thanking and not the other way around
thank you

My Smile is amazing . She is an amazing writer. She is an amazing author. She is an amazing blogger. She is an amazing relationship guru. What an amazing person my Smile is!!
ReplyDeleteI am continuing to read this blog for some times now. I dont write but I enjoy the way you describe the day to day details and make them so interesting. I am big fan of Herriot but I find that your style is mot just more personable but also have a message every single time
ReplyDeletethank you

Same here. I agree with your comment. I think one of the reader made a comment previously that she is a combo of Herriot and Gibran. And that is so true
DeleteMichelle
And I love how she describes the twin tower episodes
