Retirees my friends
Please don't suspend anyone's 
membership, thank you.

 If kids playing video games,
keeping track of their homework and studies.
Let them enjoy that, not a big deal.

Students my friends
How can I give any advice as I don't know anything.
I think my friend Dean doesn't trust me, that's why
doesn't want to share. Anyway I will pray for him.



It is Sunday, snowing since yesterday. Birds not talking today,
very quite atmosphere. Temperature not bad 6 below 0 C
Trees are all dusted with white powder. Snow is everywhere, 
it looks like Iceland.

Yesterday driving conditions were not good, still my son
managed to go to my friends gathering. My son also has 
friends over there, as they are our family friends.

 One of my friend's husband died last month. Yesterday she made 
arrangements for the ceremony. It was at night so we went at 8 pm
back after 10 pm. 

 It is always good to share people's moments specially their 
difficult moments. It gives them a feeling that they are not alone. 
It is very important at the time when they are feeling low.

 Today I have to go to one more same sort of gathering. She is
my cousin and having ceremony for her late brother, who died
last month in London.

 This is life, a mixed plate, we deal with all the mixed moments of
happiness and grief. We are members of the same Human Family
so have to be there for each other, to give support.

      This week's Smile Forum will be a high profile event. Lots of management presence expected. Managers are pushing the team to read the blog and join Smile walks as it is healthy for mind and body

    I lost the race to post the blog on our corporate notice boards. It was already posted when I got there. Of course, there was also a box of fresh SDs with a note from SA

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees appreciate your blog today. The Smile with Smile set up a special impromptu session with the parents and shared with them the advice that you provided. The parents were very pleased and expressed their thanks to you through the Smile with Smile subcommittee.

    The chairperson of the Smile with Smile program was in tears. She was expecting that you will sack her due to her ineffective communications. Sh thanked you profusely for your kind consideration. Though she is not suspended, she is planning on resigning because she thinks that she is not good enough for the job. She said you are very busy and have no time to deal with ineffective communicators like her. She also expressed her apology to you

    thank you

    Dear Author,

    We read your blog at the Smile Garden today. The Dean was not here today. He hardly misses any readings. Prof George mentioned that he has an important meeting to go to. We asked Prof George if the Dean is ok but he changed the subject. We think that Prof George knows about what is going on. We are all very concerned about him. The uni has a very sad and demoralizing atmosphere these days but we dont know what to do and how to help

    thank you

      I am just banging my head against the wall. There is absolutely nothing which is working. I have tried to be kind, I have tried to be harsh, I have tried to be reasonable but it just is not working. And yet Smile wants us to be nice to everyone in this forum

      good job mrizvi. Great to let us know that this is a good blog. I dont know what we would have done if you would not have told us

  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
