It is Monday Beautiful Sunny, still cold with 4 degrees
I never miss my office on Mondays but today I have to
skip as doctor wants Me to stay in bed.

 Staying in bed too hard for Me, still I am trying my best.
I am now using stairs only 20 times, this is the minimum
I can do. I am taking slow steps and going to Kitchen only
to make my breakfast and lunch.

 Everyone knows His own body, I know I am taking maximum
rest, I am satisfied with my performance. I am skipping office
and My walk and not making dishes to put on dinner table.
I will be fine after a while.

 In the morning My daughters called from London and Grimbsy.
They were worried how will I pass my time but when they
came to know about my list of things to do, they were fine.
My Son called Me couple of times from work.

 I distributed My time between sitting on chair and lying in bed.
I can not be on my computer for long as it is not comfortable 
nowadays. In the morning I adjusted my computer on my bed.

 Talked to My daughters on Skype. Checked messages from my 
childhood friend, she is now back in Perth. Called my sister in law,
watched my favorite show on computer, in between going downstairs
to have lunch and snacks for myself.

 I have to skip My office for whole week but I am taking one day
at a time. When there is so much to handle, we have to break
it down and try to do one step at a time.

 I am handling the moment in hand, just thinking about today
that's all. I am now on my computer writing my blog, this is
my best pass time. Kids are home, they are playing video games.
My son and Daughter in law will be back after about an hour.

 I will go downstairs at that time to have tea together, watch
TV News, lye down on sofa and do my cross words and scrabble
on my books. I will be back upstairs after dinner.

 I sleep at 12 midnight so will be on my computer and go 
downstairs to have a cup of hot milk and to have lemon 
and honey in hot water which I take at bed time.

    I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. The plan was to close my shop but after Smile's blog we continued on as normal. Some customers came in and were wiping their tears as they were reading the blog. Councillor was giving all free smoothies to cheer them up. Priest is here all day.

      Same for SWN. No one was in the mood for a walk but we only did it because Smile asked us to continue on as normal

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees read your blog wit mixed emotions. On one hand we are still very concerned about your health and on the other hand, we appreciate that you dont want us ie all readers, to stop their activities. Keeping in view your significantly large readership which includes corporate members, CEOs, students as well as average households, we understand the motivation behind your selfless decision. There were some retirees who wanted to have a resolution to have a weekly meeting to support you but as per your instructions, we voted down that resolution. There were a no. of retirees who wanted to have a resolution to condemn your son's careless attitude but the retired chief Executive reminded everyone that you are so selfless, that you have specifically asked not to do it. So we changed the resolution to recognize your selfless nature

    thank you
    recent retiree

    First of all I would like to apologize that I could not write my comment yesterday. We read your blog at our cabinet meeting however as soon as we found out about your health concerns, we had to abandon the meeting as there were a no. of senior VPs who were overcome with sentiments. They feel very close to you as they read your blog every day. I as well as some others used the time to keep everyone calm and hence the reason why I was missing yesterday. We were planning on having a special meeting today which would have involved all team members but had to call it off as per your wishes. On behalf of all the Corporate team and myself, we wish you all the best and speedy recovery

    Dear Author,

    We read your blog at the SRC today. We were planning to read it at the Smile Garden but the Dean asked everyone to follow your advice to the letter and asked everyone to do the reading indoors. He was very grateful to you for writing positive comments about him. He is under a lot of stress and we can see that there are circles under his eyes but he still attends every single reading. Prof George was very upset with the Smile Army. Smile Army also were very embarrassed and looked very apologetic. They were planning to miss classes but Prof George reminded them of your instructions and they changed their minds

    thank you

  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
