I Love To Know What is Going On



It is Monday 12 Degrees Cloudy Morning
Rain in Forecast For The Evening It Means
All Signs are There That Winter is
Around The Corner

How Long Can We Escape From That after All
It is End of October and It is Canada 

Weekend was Busy with My Walks in Mornings and
Three Sessions of Friends and Community Gatherings
On Saturday as well as on Sunday

One of My Friend From My Club is Leaving For Florida
She is Good Friend of Mine We Both Have Same Birth Date
She Used To Bring Cake Every Year
To Celebrate Together

She will Be in Florida For Couple of Months
She Goes Every Year To Skip Canadian Winter
She Has Her Condo There

This is Very Common Practice Here in Canada
That Seniors Fly or Drive To States To Escape Winter
These People are Called " Snow Birds " 

At My Club Most of Them Stopped as Getting Older
Travel Not Easy We Can Not Handle
This is Life Enjoy Whatever You Can 
Time Flies

By Virtue Of God if We are in a Position To
Have Both of Our Feet on The Ground
We Have To Feel Fortunate 

 At That Time Offer a Hand To Someone Else
To Help Him Out To Make Use of Your Stability

We Have To Stop Whining and Regretting 
For Small Matters in Our Life

      SWN was fun. There was a lot of discussion about Smile's blog. Participants pointed out that Smile often talks about empathy in her blogs

      I think this is because she talks about issues which are important to everyone

    Dear Author,

    We read your blog at the Smile Garden today. We celebrated today because we heard back from the Smile Army volunteers. They texted us back to confirm that they are ok. We still dont have details of when they are planning to return. It is concerning as they are missing a lot of their class time. The Dean is investigating too and have also asked the police to help.

    thank you

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees did not go for our long walk today. This walk, though very long for us, is nothing compared to the walks that you have. Though we did not have a walk yesterday, we were very tired.

    The retirees appreciate your blog today. The retired data analyst was very thankful to you for your vote of confidence.Your blog was very intriguing to us because we dont understand how you can walk every day. We try to walk after a day's rest but cant even though we have retired professional athlete and retired physical trainer. This is why we were asking about the supplements and vitamins. Thinking more about this, we are thinking that perhaps your walks are short like 2-3 minutes per day. Please dont mind as we dont think it is possible

    The hospital administrator came to the blog reading today. She pointed out that your recipes are very popular. It is not only the patients but also medical staff who look for it. Since they are easy to prepare, the cooks love it too. She was saying thanks on behalf of everyone

    thank you

    We always viewed your blogs as a piece of literary artistry. Little did we realize that these are not an artistic marvel but also a philosophical goldmine. The therapeutic medicine that you dish out on a daily basis helps soothe the nerves of your ardent fans, like us.

    Not only do you help restore our sanity but you effectively hold our hand, and guide us to a journey of life. For illustrative purposes, in today's blog, you basically messaged us to not forget the value of gratitude from our daily existence.

    In other ones, we have learnt from your coaching of young adults as well as older parents. The respect and the sensitivity with which you handle both together, is something that we strive to achieve as well

    Thank you for your inspirational words

    Dave and Linda

    Of course, we know that the comment was from you, Plunker. It had your signature writing.

    BTW, you are right, why bang your head against the wall. You already know that we have tried but it is just a waste. Also, Smile has asked us to be kind

    much appreciated mrizvi for letting us know that this is a good post

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
