It makes a difference

Image result for back garden with flowers pictures












It is Wednesday sunny hot day. It is 9.15, I am walking on my driveway,
looking at one of my neighbor's front garden. The pink, red and yellow 
flowers looking great. Red and Pink Roses are not single anymore. 
They got babies. Each of them. 

 I can see two beautiful newborn babies. White Butterfly doing belly dance. 
Bumble bee singing some song. Couple of Birds talking to them in loud 
voice. I think congratulating and giving their best wishes.

 Very scenic and festive atmosphere. I can see so many happy faces,
all ready to celebrate, to share and spread happiness around.

 Dear Retirees, you did the right thing to wish the Lady, but these are her 
days of mourning. She has to communicate otherwise how could you know 
that. If we express ourselves and try to make some sort of dialogue. This 
always makes a difference. 

 Communication is the best tool to solve issues and misunderstanding.
It averts disputes and arguments. I am happy that you didn't react,
were calm and patient. It is always good to take time out to think twice 
before we react.

    I lost the race to post the blog on our corporate notice boards. It was already posted when I got there. Of course, there was also a box of fresh SDs with a note from SA

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees did not go for our long walk today. We are still very tired from the walk from yesterday. The retirees instead went straight to the reading of your blog.

    The retirees appreciate your continued guidance to us. The retired communication consultant led the reading of the blog today. She pointed out that the techniques that you have discussed in the past eg listening are critical. She had kept a copy of that blog and we went through that as well.

    thank you
    recent retiree

    Dear Author,

    We read your blog at the SRC today. The Smile Army volunteers were still very subdued and embarrassed. Prof George again tried to cheer them up but he was not successful. We kinda feel bad for the idiots now. The literature faculty were here at the reading of the blog. They faculty profs have asked some new first year students to come with them. They want them to introduce you to the folksy writing style as some of the assignments require that

    thank you
    Literature Fellow

      You know Plunker that kids will be kids. Why worry about them. Some are worse than others. And I guess we are dealing with one of the bad one

      Fantastic job mrizvi for informing us that this is a good blog. Much appreciated

  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
