It is 23 Degrees -- Last Days of Summer
It is Tuesday I am Off Today
My Son Working From Home
He has to Drive My Middle Grandson
Master Golden and His Friend to
Wonderland
It is 40 Minutes away --- Good Opportunity
For Me to Get out --- I went with Him
Back Home at 1 pm
Give Lunch to My Son and Grandson
It is Last Week for My Eldest -- Who will be
Moving to London for Western University
He has to Wind up His Shopping List
Going to Scarborough Centre at 2 pm
I asked Him to Drop Me at Tim Horton
To Have Time alone -- To write My Blog
After That will Enjoy My Walk to Home
I am sitting at Coffee House Having My Small
Coffee with 2 Parts water
Thinking about My Dear Retiree Friends
Nothing Wrong with Their Grand Kids Not Going
With Them to The Hotels
This is Too Much Expectations from Them
We have to Keep in Mind Before Asking
Anything From Anyone
I Never Have Dinner or Lunch with any of
My Grandson -- I Never Ask That --- I Go with
Whole Family -- Make sure to Let Them Sit Together
My Youngest Comes with Me --- He always Biking
I Go Walking and ask Him to Meet Me at Coffee House
He Spends just some Time with Me -- Takes His Treats
From My Pocket and Go Home
Be Realistic -- Why will He Prefer to Enjoy with Me
Rather than enjoying with People of His age Group
It is But Natural
At Cottage all Three were in My Room as I was Busy
Doing My Own Things and They were Enjoying
Each Other Company
We Have to Realize We can Not Relate to Them
To What They Talk --- We Live in an Era of
More Than Half A Century Back and Strongly
Believe Things should Be Like That
We Don't Want to Accept Change -- We Draw Curtains
Live in Our Past --- While Kids are in the Process of
Renovating The World
They are Thinking Beyond Our Imagination
They Don't Want to Open up as They are Thinking
and also Dreaming So Much going on in Their Mind
Not Easy to Communicate Their Action Plans
We Don't Let Them To Open Up -- Let Them Talk
We Love To Dictate Our Charter -- Our Communique
Our Doctrine of " How To Lead A Successful Life "
We Demand Just Close Your Eyes and Focus
Your Brain --- Listen To My Golden Recipe
Our Fool Proof System To Lead A Perfect Life
Just Do It -- No Argument Please -- End of Story
They Know They Have No Choice -- They already
Tired of Our Non Ending Series Of Lecture Sessions
They Hold Their Thoughts ---- We Believe that
We won This Tug of War --- We Changed Their Mind
We are in Command ----- Wrong
I Believe -- No One can Overpower Minds Forcefully
We Have To Realize We are Generations Apart
Nothing Wrong to Accept That -- Time Flies
Things Change -- Life Goes On --- Just Relax
Let Them Handle Their Own Life --- Please

SWS was a great. We decided to go on the nature route. As usual, we talked about today's blog
DeleteTiara
SWN was fun too. We also talked about the blog. Some participants had copies of the previous blogs that Smile referenced and it was helpful to cross reference that.

I hosted the Toastmasters meeting today as Kim was not available. Today's toastmasters meeting had an open agenda ie people can discuss any topic that they want but the only topic that was discussed was Smile blog. People wanted to talk about her positive attitude, her kindness to her readers, her love for active living and nature

She say what you talk because he little kid. I say my Madam no talk to grandbabies, just give them food from her pocket but no talk. I think she head pain. I do 2 proud job and always read blog
ReplyDeleteDear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteThe retirees went for our long walk today. This walk, though very long for us, is nothing compared to the walks that you have. We had our lollipop after that
The retirees appreciated your blog today. It provided a perspective to many of our issues and challenges that we are having with our grand kids. In our case we try to engage them and talk to them, whereas you just give them their meal. In our case they dont even want to be in the same room as us. They prefer to be with their imaginary, fictional video games. Some of the retirees are very frustrated with that because the games are not reality. They need to talk to us and not talk to the characters in their games. We are wondering if you can please write some advice for that
Also, some of the retirees living in joint family living situations are having issues with their in-law kids. We feel that our children in-law (ie daughter in law or son in law) dont respect us. They consider us as a side piece. In some extreme cases, they are very rude to us also. Some of us push back, which unfortunately gives the impression that we are creating the scene and in other instances, some of us just "absorb" this. We are wondering if you can write something for that too
The retired chef was very pleased with the recipe. He already contacted all the 5 star properties and have forwarded the recipe to them. The hospital staff is not sure if they can give this to their patients due to budgetary constraints, as fish are very expensive here. The cafe manager is planning to offer this in the Smile Presents menu. This menu is a new form he has devised. Each guest gets the copy of today's blog as a gesture of goodwill The plan is working very well and there are repeat customers who come to read hte blog. We know this for a fact because of the surveys that we have done with these repeat customers
thank you

Dear Author,
ReplyDeleteWe read your blog at the Smile Garden today. When we went for the reading of the blog, we noticed that there was no cake. Smile Army usually serves the cake. One of the commentators also noticed that some of the Smile Army volunteers are laughing at us. We almost had a fight when the Dean intervened. He asked us tor read the blog and highlighted the message of being a family and forgive and forget. The commentators were upset because this is not in the past, but is going on right now. The Smile army said that we dont include them in any decisions about who gets invited to the readings. When we clarified that it is not up to us and the Dean is the one invites them, they didnt believe us. One of our commentators accidentally said that even if we invite you, you will not be able to understand anyways. This caused the situation to get worse and the Dean called in the police as a precautionary measures. The police came in their uniform as they were concerned that the striation can escalate
If you can please write a blog to help them
thanks you
