Father Be realistic
Niklas Carried Your Clothes to Laundry
He Put Washing Powder

 Bring Back All Your 
Clean Clothes

 You Just Pushed the Button
It is Not Doing Laundry 

 You are Yelling to Hannah 
Niklas and Kris
Not Fair To Them

Literature Fellow My Dear

 To understand Emotional Turmoil
Of Students Going to University 

 I Salute Smile Army for Taking Great
Care of Smile Garden

 Smile Addict My Friend
It is Too Much

 To Wait for 35 Minutes at 4 am
For Smile Donuts 




It is Sunday 19 Degrees Cloudy and Rainy Day
Today My Eldest Leaving for Western University
I was very Much Looking Forward
To Give Him Company

We all planning to Go --- In the Morning
My Son Let Me Know that The Middle One
Master Golden Not willing to Go

It was 2 Hours Drive My Youngest also Changed
His Mind so They Both Staying Home
I was Not Feeling Good to Leave Them alone

 I Changed My Plans and Opted to Stay with Them
I Believe Family always Comes First
I was Going for My Own Sake to Feel Good

Two of My Grand Kids Now Staying Home
I will be More Than Happy to Give Them
Lunch and Give Them Company
I will Go after --- There is always a Next Time

 London is a Beautiful Small City of Flowers
I used to Live There Quarter a Century Back 
in 1992 with My Son He was Doing
His Masters at Western University Now in 2017 His Son
Going to the Same University

 Two of My Youngest Daughters were also Living with Me
at that Time  --- They now Live in London England

Time Flies They are Married have Their Own
Grown up Kids -- Couple of Them Completed
Their University Degrees One is Married Last Year
I Mean My Grand Daughter

I wanted to Go There to Have a Feel of the City
After Such a Long Time So Much must have been
Changed

I Used to Work as Volunteer in " Global House " in
Downtown of London City -- It was Sort of Shelter
Under Immigration Department

In 92 It was a Period when Serbia  --- Croatia ---
Bosnia and Burma were undergoing Difficult Time
Global House was Full of Immigrants from
Those Places

I Had Opportunity Getting Closer to Them Listening
Their First Hand Stories Full of Emotions
Giving Them Company and Trying to Console
Shared Their Grief to Provide Some Relief

In 94 I was Moved to Ottawa as My Son Got Job at
Nortel --- Some of the Immigrants Used to Write
Me Letters To Keep Connected

I Still Have Some of the Letters as Souvenir
With Beautiful Title of  " Dear Auntie "

They Used to Share Their Personal Problems
With Me -- I Tried What I Could
It all Looked My Own Family Matters

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees did not go for our long walk today. We are still very tired from the walk from yesterday. Some of the retirees are still suffering from cramps also. 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.

    The retired human rights activist led the reading of your blog today. She was one of the campaign activist at multiple agencies such as the Red Cross, UNHCR, etc. She pointed out that in majority of the cases the refugees dont remember the leaders who help them settle down because there are so many of them but they remember only the ones who touch them deeply. She pointed out that the fact that one of them reached out to you, means that you must have touched at least one of them deeply.

    The retired chef has requested some additional recipe as the 5 star properties are now thinking of adding your menu, similar to the one that we have at this cafe. The cafe manager also made the same request

    thank you
    recent retiree

    Dear Author,

    The students and the professors read your blog at the Smile Garden today. The Smile Army as well the students from the local school were in attendance. The Dean invited the business faculty today and they were amazed at the humane thoughts that you share. The business professor mentioned that he plans to use some of the material as part of Corporate Social Responsibility class.

    We would like to thank you for giving us a shout out. As we read about your grandson's residence visit, it brings back memories for us. We remember the first few days were really tough. We were on the phone with our parents and grand parents multiple times during the day as we were trying to get our bearings. Their help and support was critical in getting us settled in. We are sure that you providing the same support to him

    thank you

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 invo...

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 ...

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...
