Looking --> Observing

It is Saturday morning with 22 C will be 32 later on. Today is my walk day.
I don't make calls on weekend. Weekends is time for people with their
own families. I had couple of small loads of my laundry.

 I did 2 loads yesterday in the evening. I have to do my bed sheets laundry
today. I did that early morning before my breakfast. I put my load in washer
and by the time I was done with my breakfast, it was ready to go in the dryer.

 It is 10.30 I am done with everything now time to be with my computer.
We have to divide our Day Plan into time slots, to work with. That way
we feel no pressure.

 I figured out that my sleep has now different pattern. Somehow it is
programmed with alternate schedules. One night it is good night sleep
the other day not, I am OK with that.

 It is 11.30 time for my walk. I am at Tim Horton now enjoying my coffee
writing my Blog. I discovered another route to come to the Coffee House.
It is walkway by the side of Strathmore Condominiums.

 On one side is the beautiful lush green conservation area with all shades
of green. I can see some water flowing through. I find something new every 
day. Yesterday I noticed small light pink roses with unique fragrance. 
Today I noticed they are giving me smile. I stopped to smell and to greet. 

 This is a wonderful world. We have to be patient and not only have to 
look around. We have to clear our mind from all of our stray thoughts 
after that our looking will be transformed into observation.

 Observation is wonderful, takes us to uncharted land of wonders.
We are able to enjoy every bit of it. Just try that. It is 12.30 I am done 
with my coffee and my Blog. Time to go home. I also have to go to my
doctor for my six monthly vitamin D injection at 2 pm.

Dear Retirees I just got your comments. My Friend Lady please don't talk 
about religion anymore. To make it clear I am not promoting any Religion. 

 Please keep Blog Reading Sessions away from Religious talks. We don't 
have to convert this place into Mosque, Temple or any such places. 
Please don't bring outside food in Cafe.

 My dear Reader why are you waiting? Go to your Job 2 don't waste any 
more time until Supervisor comes back from vacation. Listen to your 
Friend Happy Worker.

 Kris Dear I am not happy as Father twists my Blogs to create more
problems for the whole family. Why Hannah cooking so much?
Is there another party to come? For God sake stop that.

 Ask Father not to go to Niklas room and not to throw ice on his face.
Niklas is not supposed to take Father for walk. Father is not a baby.
Father goes with him to get treats from Niklas pocket. So selfish.

    I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. There are a lot of customers here today as the out of town customers also came. Customers didnt go to church as the blog is available in the morning and they said Smile is against religion. The Priest was feeling very low and said that he will have less people every week. He still served Yogurt smoothie in the afternoon and it was a big hit. He still asked everyone to say Morning Smile before serving them.

    You wrote in one of your previous blogs that kids should not care about parents and parents should take care of themselves. My daughter in law posted that on the fridge so we all can read. I dont think that it is fair. My son is required to take care of both me and his father. Can you explain that to my daughter in law too. She is a little slow so you will need to explain it many times

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees appreciate your blog today. Unfortunately there were very few retirees today as many were concerned that the temple priest will come. The temple priest and the lady both did not come today. We tried to reach out to the retirees to let them know that there will not be a religious gathering today but they didn't believe us. We again appreciate your blog but we are at a loss because our other programs are getting impacted by the other activities.

    thank you
    recent retiree

    Dear Author,

    We read your blog at the Smile Garden today. Mrs. Lucy was very upset after listening to the blog and finding out that you have do 2 loads. Prof. George tried to calm her down and said that you are independent but she reminded him that you recently went to the doctor and wsa prescribed medications, including inhaler. She said to Prof George with tears in her eyes, "how come her only son not understand this and let her do this? " Prof George didn't have a response. The Dean jumped in and said perhaps because that's because some people are inconsiderate by nature. He then asked the Smile Volunteers who were throwing darts to give him a dart also and threw one very hard. Prof George and Lucy and all the other profs joined them too. Smile Army volunteers were also very upset.

    thank you
    Literature Fellow

      What is this! This is beyond weird. There is nothing, absolutely noting, that I can say or do to help these young kids. The sad thing is that they will be the future. We were teenagers too, and I thought a little crazy, but this is off the chart! I know, I know

      Great work mrizvi. Thank you so much for a fantastic comment. Way to go. Beyond brilliant

    Now tell me honestly, how many of you have ever heard a better advice about making the most of your life? Isnt it true that most of us pass through life while "looking" and not "observing" Well not any more, Smile has told us what to do. Don't believe me? Have a look:

    "This is a wonderful world. We have to be patient and not only have to look around. We have to clear our mind from all of our stray thoughts after that our looking will be transformed into observation.

    Observation is wonderful, takes us to uncharted land of wonders. We are able to enjoy every bit of it."

    Brilliant!!

  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
