My Dear Reader doing 2 Jobs 
Please take rest 
when you are sick

 Father please let Niklas 
play Video Games
Kids play all the times
This is normal

 Kris be realistic
Niklas can not take Father 
for walk before school


It is Tuesday beautiful mixed sunny and cloudy morning
with 11 degrees. Rain is on the way will be in the evening 
stay for couple of days. Everyone gone to work and
school. I am sitting with empty nest.

 I don't work on Tuesdays so I am on computer enjoying
messages from friends and family on my Facebook. 
It is always good to get connected. 

 Yesterday it was around 8 at night, I got a call from my
grade 7th school friend. She lives in London England. 
I was surprised as it was nearly one in the morning 
over there. 

 They are 5 hours ahead and also that she is not a person to 
make calls. I know that so I call her every time. She told
me that she was worried because of the incident in Toronto.

 Her daughter called her about that so she was worried and 
wanted to talk to me. We feel lucky when we have people 
around who care about and try to connect.

 It is 10.30 morning, my Younger Brother called me that today
we can go to Scarborough Centre. I was thinking he cancelled 
as he didn't call last night. Anyway it will be nice to have a day 
out and enjoy together.

 I haven't been there for couple of years so called Durham bus 
service about the buses and Route but it will be long route also
I have to change three buses. Go Bus will be better idea.

 I called Go Bus about ticket price to get cash ready. It is $ 3.55 for
we seniors. I will walk to Kingston Road it is about 10 minutes walk
and get the Go Bus at 11.35 will be at Scarborough Centre at 11.55

 We planned to meet at 12 Noon. Perfect it is 11 am. I have to get ready 
to go. My sister in law will also be there. They will be leaving on May 9th 
to Chicago  to their younger daughter's place. It will be good to spend
some time together.

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees appreciate your blog today. The retirees were at a loss for words when we read that you will be taking 3 buses! Some new retirees were almost in tears, others were in a state of shock. The older retirees were trying to help calm them down. We pointed out to them that you are very independent, you are very active, you want to keep connections alive, we also gave them copies of your blog "Faucets of Happiness" to remind them that this is your style but that didnt help. They were asking us to have a resolution to ask your son to take better care of you but we know that there is no point. They then asked us to have a resolution to condemn this behaviour but we chose not to do it because it is not your preference. We hope you had a good time there and you were not too tired

    thank you
    recent retiree

    Dear Author,

    We read your blog at the Smile Garden today. We were planning to read your blog at the SRC today but the Dean asked us to take the reading party to the Smile Garden because he wanted to encourage the Smile Army. And yes, he did say reading PARTY. We asked him why he is saying it is a party, he responded "isnt it a party?" Smile Army responded with a loud "YES".

    Though the mood was very upbeat at the start of the reading of the blog, but as we started going through the blog, we were amazed that you have to call the local bus company to find out about the no. of buses that you need to take. Prof George was almost in tears. We heard Dean whispering to him that perhaps you should not show this blog to Lucy. Prof George responded that she is a big fan and if he does not bring the blog he will have to sleep on the sofa, The Dean smiled and said, yes Smile has a lot of big fans. The Smile Army did not raise any slogans today. They are very well mannered now

    thank you
    Literature Fellow

    We commend you for your initiative and zeal to stay in touch with kith and kin. To be candid, unlike your other readers, we were not shocked that you so independently and enterprisingly made the telephonic calls to the bus companies to figure out the bus routes on your own. We will not be surprised if you had a good shopping experience as well. As in the past, we simply and humbly request your scion to take a little better care of you

    thank you for making our days brighter
    Dave and Linda

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...

     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...
