Our space is our territory

It is Sunday sunny hot morning with 26 C later on will be 35 feeling
like 41 C. In summer it is real hot here. In the morning after my 
breakfast, I watched Little House on the Prairies, my favorite show. 
It is short and sweet, I don't like to spend so much time on TV

 It is 10.30, I am at Petticoat Creek. Water is calm, it is summer time 
so lots of activities going on. People busy in walking, fishing, and biking.
Birds are back in their cottages under the bridge. 

 On top of the bridge Green color inter city Go train is passing through.
Here comes another one bluish grey and orange Via train, which runs
through Canada and States. 

 A single sea gull sailing graciously on the calm and quiet dark grey water.
It is 11.45, I am at Tim Horton enjoying my coffee with toasted raisin
biscuit, writing my Blog.

 Thinking about Father, he is something, I never stop thinking about him.
I am also thinking about my Dear Reader who keeps on losing his Jobs. 
Now comes one more the Lady, who keeps on talking about Religion. 

 I love everyone of them but I love others too who keep on suffering out 
of their actions. I just got couple of comments, I have to write something
about that.

 My Dear Readers in Ireland, please keep in mind that I am not against
Religion. Not at all. I believe that Religion is very personal and not feel like  
talking about that in public. My Friend Priest is talking in Church that is 
different. It is a place to talk about that.

 My Dear Happy Reader Mother in Law not happy about my Blog, I posted 
sometimes back about joint family living. First of all I don't like the way 
you talk about your Daughter in law. 

 Same with Happy Reader. Please use proper words to write for anyone.
It is rude to post anything to make others not feel good and to lose temper.

 Joint Family living is a very complex situation for we seniors as well as for 
everyone else. Most of the times what I notice specially in case of Father
that we seniors take advantage of our age and of being parents. That is
not fair with our kids. There has to be a balance.

 When we choose to act, we have to keep in mind that it never has to affect 
anyone else. Specially when we talk which we do so often and never take
it seriously. Choose your words very carefully same with writings.

 We never have to interfere and trespass other people's territories.
Territories are not only our houses where we live in. Our personal space 
also is our territory. It is more sacred and has to be respected all the times. 
I am done with my coffee and my Blog time to go home now.

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees appreciate your blog today. There was a little chaos today as the temple priest came and so did the other priest. They wanted to discuss their issues but we reminded them about your instructions. The temple priest got little upset and said that this is a place for discussion so this is discrimination. We tried to tell him that these discussions are based on your dictates but he was upset. We advised him that we will add him to the agenda for a future meeting.

    The retirees appreciate your comments about the joint family living scenario. Many retirees are facing challenges as they feel that their in law kids are not treating them with respect. Some think that their in law kids are also brain washing their grandkids and even their grandkids are not talking to them properly. We don't know how best to proceed, if you can please let us know

    thank you

    Dear Author,

    We read your blog at the SRC today. Senior professors of the law department were in attendance today. There were no law students allowed today as the Dean wanted to make sure that all Smile Army volunteers have opportunity to participate in the readings. Due to space limitations there were only half of them who were being able to participate previously. The Smile Army was very thankful and started yelling slogans for you. The Dean tried to calm them but they were extremely excited to listen to your blog. Prof George tried also but he also could not control them. Some were upset at the law professors because they think that you don't like law and lawyers

    thank you
    Literature Fellow

  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
