Like Family
I Don't Know What Type of
Grandpa is Father
He Didn't Allow
Niklas to Go Even on One Ride
So Selfish
Today My Blog is
For My Retiree Friends
Living in Joint Family
It is 8.30 pm I am at Costco --- My Grandson
Has to Get Things for His Moving to University
My Son and My Youngest Grandson are
Also Here
They are Busy Shopping I am Walking around
Now sitting at the Dining Area Near Exit
It Looks Beautiful with all Red Tables
and White Seats
I am Writing My Blog Thinking about My
Retiree Friends --- I Mentioned it Before so many
Times in My Earlier Blogs
To Live with Family is very Demanding for Everyone
It is Very Complicated -- Everyone has to be Patient
We can Not Change Anyone
We can only Change Ourselves which We should
We have to be Realistic --- We are Retired
We are already Done with Our Life
We Don't Have to Compete with Our Own Kids
To Have Enjoyment at Any Cost --- They just
Started Their Lives
We are Their Family But We Have to Keep in Mind
To Give Them Space -- Keep Our Distance
Every Stage of Life has it's Own Beauty -- has
Different Activities to Get busy to Enjoy
First of all We Don't have to Engage Our Kids for Each
and Everything --- We Don't Have to be like
" Father " Who is a Problem for the Whole Family
Father Demanding and Forcing for Respect and Yelling
To Make Everyone's Life a Hell
Who will Like to be That Person --- No One
We Have to Find Our Own Hobbies to Get Busy
There are so Many Things to Enjoy for We
Seniors --- We Didn't Have Time for That Now
It is Our Time to Do That
1 : Bird Watching
2 : Listening Music
3 : Writing Anything -- Daily Journal
4 : Reading Materials of Our Own Choice
Magazines -- Papers -- Books
5 : Handicrafts --- Knitting -- Embroidery
6 : Art --- Painting
7 : Gardening
8 : Cooking -- Anything
9 : Talk To God --- This Must Be Number One
On The List of " Things To Do "
We Have to Lead Our Own Life --- We can Manage
We Did all Our Life why Not Now
Have Trust in Yourself and Don't Bother
Your Family ---
Keep Yourself Busy when We are Busy
We wont Care about Petty Things Like
Our Respect or Who is Talking to Us and
Who is Go on Ignoring We wont Have
Time for Such Things
I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. This being Saturday, lots of customers are in my shop today to read blog. They come here to read blog from today and also the past week. There is no room inside, and people are waiting outside. I am running low on supplies as everyone loves yogurt smoothie and banana smoothie. It has become a tradition that they come here to Smile Corner and then go to the market for their shopping. The priest is also here today. He is making notes. Customers are smiling secretly. One gave him his seat as he was standing. One customer brought veggie omelette and giving everyone free when they say Morning Smile. It is like a festival here and all because of Smile blog

ReplyDeleteDear 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 were very appreciative of your blog. The retirees living in joint family situations were specially thankful to you for thinking of them and writing a blog which addresses their needs. The retirees had mixed opinions about your advice though. Though a no. of retirees agreed with your suggestions, there were some retirees who were of the view that we need to be forceful and make sure that the rest of the family knows that we are the biggest part of the family. Their view is that we helped our kids reach these heights and helped them achieve their goals, so now it is time for them to pay back. They also thought that the in-laws (ie son in laws and daughter in laws) need to be told ad made aware of our presence and influence otherwise they will not respect us. Some of the retirees reminded the retirees with a different view that you are the reason why we meet and do all the things so it is disrespectful to have these opinions however they immediately apologized and clarified that they are not challenging or intending to disrespect you, and are only intending to voice a different view. They also presented a motion to thank you for your blog. The motion was passed with 100% vote.
The retirees interfacing with the hospital mentioned that one of the hospital is running a pilot project to give your blog along with veggie omelette to the patients. This is being done as your blogs are positive and it can help with the patient's mood. Our subcommittees on nutrition, healthy living and mental health worked on this initiative and are continuing to work on this. They are requesting any additional information that you can write about mental health or any additional topic
thank you

I printed your blog and gave it to my mother in law because she needs to read it and do the things that you said she should do. All she does is bother me by telling me what I should be doing

ReplyDeleteDear Author,
ReplyDeleteWe read your blog today at the Smile Garden. Your today's blog reminded us of the time when we were moving out of our homes. It was a very stressful time and I am sure that it would be the same for your grandson. It is good that you are there with him and you can keep him relax. We remember that going away from home was not easy because we were going into an unknown environment. Some of our parents were not very understanding and they just gave us money without realizing that we dont only need money but also understanding and moral support
BTW, thank you for your understanding and accepting our apology .
thank you
