I miss my maroon umbrella

It is Tuesday cloudy morning, rain will start any time after 11 am.
I don't work on Tuesdays. I have to plan my day to get busy. It is 9.30
I am done with my breakfast and with my Facebook messages. Played 
couple of Scrabble and card games on my computer.

 I have to make some calls but it is too early. We have to call, keeping
the comfort zone of the person on the other end of the line. I think I have 
to go for my walk. I will be back before rain get started.

 My Son is going to Lakes, I will go with him, he will drop me at Tim Horton
after. He wont stay there long as he has work to do. It is 10.30, I am at
Petticoat Creek. It is early so not many people here.

 Couple of them are busy fishing. Two walking with dogs. Water exhibiting
variety of colors, muddy, sea green, so many shades of grey, sparkling 
silver and glittering gold. I can hear lots of birds. Their kids playing 
around. 

 There are two bridges at Petticoat Creek. One overhead. I can see green 
and white inter city train passing by. It is called Go Train. The other train 
goes to States and connect to other cities. It is bluish grey and yellow, 
called Via Rail. 

  The other bridge is long for pedestrians. I hear lots of birds talking under 
that bridge. It looks, they rented apartments and in the middle of moving 
in as lots of traffic going on. Plants started turning into green. It is amazing 
atmosphere, looks like celebration of revival of life all around. 

 It is 10.45, I got down at Tim Horton, my Son went home. I will walk home 
after. Right now I am enjoying my time alone slot and writing my Blog,
having small coffee with half hot water and maple dip donuts. I started 
thinking about my Dear Readers.

 Dear Reader doing 2 Jobs, you never listen to me, never stop reading and talking about my Blogs, at your work place. Please don't do that. Thanks.

 Father also never listens to me, always plan parties, to mess up with 
everyone's life in the family. I keep on praying for my friends, Niklas 
and Hannah. 

 My Dear Smile Army Friends, focus on your studies but please don't stop 
working in Smile Garden. We have to be multidimensional. It gives a 
balance to our personalities. Smile Garden is your passion. We never 
have to leave the things, we love to do. 

My Friends in Ireland, please don't bring outside food. It will make Smile 
Corner sale down and don't please think to close down the Blog Reading 
Sessions at this place. Keep this small cozy Corner alive with people around.
Thanks everyone.

Dear Retirees, My Temple Friends have to keep in mind that outside food 
is not allowed in Cafes and also we don't have to talk loud, not to disturb 
the atmosphere around. Please don't talk about Religion and don't make 
comments on people's dresses. Respect everyone's emotions please.

 It is 11.40, I am done, now time to walk home. Rain will start any time soon. 
I have to be quick. I forgot to bring my maroon umbrella. I can handle 
anyway. I believe nothing is end of the world. I will survive.

    I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. This is market day but customers are coming to my shop in waves. They come here to read the blog first before going to the market. We have lots of people from out of town who come to read blog and then do shopping. They are talking about Smile's blogs. The priest is here and he wanted to give veggie omelette to everyone who say Morning Smile but the councillor and his people told him that this is not allowed now. I tried to explain to them that the I dont mind that as customers have coffee from my shop afterwards but the councillor refused. The councillor and his people are causing a lot of problems. They keep insisting that you are endorsing his candidacy. The councillor is very unpopular here as he does not keep his promises and is corrupt. They are surprised that you are endorsing him. One customer was heard saying that you are using your Oxford education to advance divide and rule plans that you English people typically do. Can you please do something as it is becoming a mess

    Dear Advisor,

    We were very concerned after we read your blog today. The retired consultant for seniors' safety led the reading of the blog. She mentioned that this is simply wrong that you are being taken advantage of and being asked to go to the lake in rainy weather and after that asked to walk back on your own despite the fact that you didnt have an umbrella. She said that even strangers are not supposed to treat seniors like this but it is very sad that your son is doing that. We reminded her that you dont want us to say anything against him and she started crying. We were planning to have some retirees celebrate their birthdays but we cancelled all that. The temple people were not here today because they had some event at their temmple. The retired priest was here but didnt say anything and remained very subdued. We wanted to have a resolution but the retirees were so upset that we simply prayed for your health

    thank you

    Dear Author,

    We read your blog at the Smile Garden today. Your blog caused a lot of emotions. The Smile Army was particularly affected. They were very upset with your son and also happy that you wrote for them. They immediately asked all professors to stop working in the Smile Garden. This was a little awkward as the professors and the Dean came with their gardening tool and gardening attires they had plans to work here. The Dean immediately took charge and gestured to the professors that they should let the Smile Army take care of gardening . The professors were also very sad. Prof George was heard saying to another professor that such a great lady and yet she has to go through so much. The Dean heard that and said that we can only pray for her. Mrs. Lucy was very angry and said that Lets do more than that and throw darts. We then went to throw darts with prayers for your health and safety.

    thank you
    Literature Fellow

    I am working on the weekend and wanted to let you know that we have been going for Smile Walks. The blogs continue to be the highlight of our Toastmasters meeting. Jimmy does a good job of posting it in all the lobbies. He also makes sure that there are extra copies of the recipe blogs. We have been able to figure out the URL for that.

    thank you

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...
