It is always give and take
I am Happy for my friend Dean
wish you all the best for your
family life too
Kris Dear, please give TV time to Niklas
let him play video games
Please safeguard Niklas interests
so that he doesn't need to go to pub and to friends
Niklas has to stay home and enjoy his life
Cut down Father's enjoyment
cut down Father's TV time
after school TV is for Niklas
he can play video games
all kids do that
Make breakfast menu for Father
he has to take 2 things every day
not everything same day
too much work for Hannah
It is Monday bright sunny beautiful morning with 11 below 0 C
It is cold, yes my dear why you people keep on forgetting that
this is Canada.
It is 9.30 am, after a long time I am back in my office cubicle
writing my blog. I am starting slowly, this week planning to
work part time, that is playing only darts.
Today I planned to write my blog for my dear Retirees friends.
I am sorry that I always keep you waiting, doesn't mean that
I don't care about or don't love you people. Not at all.
I have total trust in your patience, I know you can wait. My blogs
always become very long, which I don't like. It is too much work
to read all that for my Readers Family.
Every time things come up, have to be discussed right away on
priority basis, anyway let's come to the point. You mentioned
that " Smile Target " project going well and people want to join
but as there is no space, you keep them on waiting list.
I think there has to be no limit on members to join in. They can
do these tasks at home, taking small task as target. Like watering
plants, feeding birds, bird watching, reading books or magazines,
watching any TV show, making soup or salad.
They can include any task in smile target, whatever they enjoy
or want to do. It will be a healthy exercise for everyone.
You were also asking for tips to lose weight. I have already posted
my entire blog on this topic. Please check my past blogs, titled
" Change your plate ". I recommend that don't change your
diet, change your plate. That will solve the problem.
Now about joint family living. This is very complex situation
for everyone living together, not only for we seniors. We don't
have to expect anything from anyone, not even from our kids.
When we don't expect and anything done by anyone, we will give
it's credit otherwise, we take it as granted. We will never value
anything done by anyone.
We have to limit our expectations to zero and try to do our things
on our own. Old age is not a sickness or disability. We will become
lethargic and obese if we leave everything to others and start
labeling ourselves as old people.
We have to push ourselves as long as we can handle things. We have
to take safety measures and have to be cautious all the time, still
have to do things.
Look at "Father " yelling at everyone, watching TV all the time,
wants breakfast to be served before sunrise. Nowadays I am sick
it means I have now certificate to yell at everyone and make
everyone's life miserable.
We have to realize and have to be considerate. Joint family living is
sort of " Give and Take " system. It is not one way traffic.

ReplyDeleteDear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteThe retirees appreciated your blog today. We suspended all the committee business today to focus on the blog. There were many readers of the blog as we had multiple readings. After spending a few hours going through every detail that you shared, we decided that we will set up a committee however the retired human bahaviour consultants, the retired anthropologists, the retired senior psychologists all declined to chair this as the content that you shared is too complicated for them. To clarify, they are all holders of multiple post grad degrees, have chaired conferences, have many research publications and papers to their credit, they are also advising PhD students. We therefore decided that we will connect with the university and request collaboration on the topic. However the retired Chief executive mentioned that before we proceed, we need to get your counsel. If you can please suggest next steps for us
thank you
recent retiree

Dear Author,
ReplyDeleteWe read your blog at the SRC today. The Dean and Prof George requested that we have the reading their as they need to take a lot of notes from today's blog. There were many other professors who also attended the reading. After we finished the reading, we found out that the 2 gentlemen also hosted a meeting with the senior professors in the anthropology and psychology department as this blog had many important points that they wanted to discuss. We also heard that the uni is planning a no. of research projects based on this blog. Some professors were requesting for more information but the Dean stopped them by reminding them that you have been advised complete bed rest. When the prof asked how do you know? The Dean smiled and said lets just say I am one of her many fans. He is still having issues with his wife, and he is asking for some ideas
thank you
