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

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...
