Moments slipping from our hands
It is Saturday sunny bright cold morning with 3 C. Last night I could
not sleep well. When we are getting old, things happen my Dear. Nothing
to worry about. I sleep well or not, I usually get up early in the morning.
It is 10 am, I am done with breakfast and with two loads of my laundry.
Sitting now in my TV lounge, busy with Scrabble and Sudoku books
also enjoying the scenic view of my back garden.
Winter is just around the corner but grass is still green. Pear tree
on the left corner of my garden, looks happy with fruits all around.
Black Squirrel not here, may be still in bed.
My sleep was not good last night so my body, still not fully awake.
I have to push myself to go for my walk. It is cold 2 C. I will dress up
in layers. I will be fine.
I am walking by the Whites Road. Birds are all around, having chit chat,
may be making plans to go to South. They know the real Canadian winter
is not far. They have to get their paper work done to cross the border.
It is 10.55, I am at Tim Horton, enjoying coffee and my time alone slot.
I am happy, decided to get out. Take charge of your body. Body will take
care of your mind, to push it into positive direction. To think positive.
Dear "N", I love you. Here are couple of "To Do Things".
1 : Get some flower pots of your choice. Water the plants
it will make you happy.
2 : Feed the birds in your Garden / Balcony.
3 : Enjoy cup of Tea / Coffee, sitting in the
favorite corner of your house.
Start doing these things. Have patience, trust me you will
get happiness after a while. I love you my Friend.
It is Sunday morning sunny bright.. Chances of rain in the
afternoon. I am done with breakfast, already watched National
Geographic documentary about ancient Egypt. Now time to go
for my walk.
It is 30% chances of rain so better to take my maroon umbrella.
I am walking by the Whites Road. I can hear birds from tree tops.
Yellow Dandelion looks like gold scattered around.
Red berries and the purple flowers. Colors started changing from
olive green to gold, copper and ruby. Scarlet red in between, looks like
Nature's wonder. God is great, keeps providing we Humans, so many
wonders to enjoy, to explore.
Life is great, no doubt. Just try to be in the moment and look around.
Don't waste your precious moments to mess up people's personal
lives. Focus on your own self. Make your day better than the last one.
Dear Readers in Ireland, please don't give hard time to my Friend
the Priest. My message was for the Retired Priest, not for him.
Dear Retirees please ask the Retired Priest, not to be nosy and
not to waste his time for other people's Religions, customs
and traditions.
Everyone has right to connect to God, in his own way.
What way they choose, is none of anyone else's business.
Kris Dear, stop Father from his so called project. Kids are safe
with their family. Trust me. Leave them alone.
Dear Reader doing 2 jobs, the Wicked Worker tricked you again.
You don't have to spend money. I am your friend, no matter what.
It is 12.30, I am at Tim Horton, done with my coffee and enjoyed
my time alone slot. Now time to walk home. By the way my son took
me to my eye doctor's office, also waited in the lounge for me.
I mentioned in my earlier Blog too that we have to focus on our
own self. Not to interfere with other people's personal matters.
Life is a gift. Don't waste it, discussing other people's personal lives.
It is just waste of your special moments, which are slipping from our
hands. The moments, gone, will never be back so value every moment
in your life. Look around to enjoy the beauty scattered around.

ReplyDeleteI 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. Priest is here too. He is happy that you clarified that your comments are not for him. He was pointing this out to everyone and the customers were getting annoyed. One customer said that we all read the blog so there is no point for him to let us know. It is like a festival here
ReplyDeleteMy Smile is awesome! She is an awesome advisor! She is an awesome councillor. She is an awesome author. She has awesome family. What an awesome person my Smile is!!

ReplyDeleteDear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteThe retirees were very appreciative of your blog. We were very surprised that you chose to walk to Tim Hortons even though you did not get a good night sleep. Some retirees also noted that you did your laundry yourself. The retirees never go anywhere when we have not had a good night's rest. The retirees are also upset with your son because he does not take good care of you. We were very surprised that he didnt drop you off at Tim Hortons and didnt do laundry for you. Some retirees wanted to have a resolution but others pointed out that he is simply too dense and bone headed for this to have any impact
The retired priest was here and listened to the blog with his head bowed. We asked him to stop being nosy to which he replied that he is only doing all this to protect the kids. One retiree ran into the hijab lady coming out of a community meat shop . The hijab lady was surprised that we are concerned about the kids. The hijab lady said that the kids are ok and the temple people take the kids to these events because they want to instill the spirit of sacrifice into them also. She said that they have community gatherings every day but she will come to the reading along with a priest so she can talk to all of us about their leader. The retiree clarified that we are not interested in religion but the hijab lady insisted and said that their leader belongs to everyone and not to one religion only.
thank you
recent retiree
Dear Author,
ReplyDeleteWe read your blog at the Smile Platform. The Smile Platform is situated at the center of the Smile Garden. Many students were very upset with your son . The Smile Army raised slogans against him. The Dean was here but didnt stop anyone. He was heard saying to Prof George that she is such a big author but she has to do her own laundry and has to walk to coffee shops despite not having a proper rest. Prof George pointed out that some of the language that you have used is classic literature. The Dean smiled. He is a man of few words and does not say many things.
The students are very upset with their parents. Some of us are being forced by our parents to come back home during holidays but we dont want to even go on weekends. The parents dont realize that we have to relax and we dont get the peace of mind when we go back home. We know that the lucky guy does not have to go through all this but for many of us, its a big problem
thank you

ReplyDeleteMy mother in law loves your blog but does not learn anything from you. You are the best mother in law in the world. You are completely independent and helps your daughter in law also. My mother in law does nothing but bothers me
ReplyDeleteHappy Reader
Same old stuff. I was hoping that it will be a good day but perhaps I was asking for too much. After all, why should it be any different? I know, I know...
ReplyDeleteGreat job mrizvi. Your comment is right on.
Dont worry about it Plunker. You know that kids consider everything to be fun these days. I guess it is the new era. No wonder we have interesting elections in the world these days. And yes, we must be kind
ReplyDeleteBrilliant comment mrizvi. Hope you are reading your assignments before completing them kiddo
We would like to submit our sincere apologies to yourself for our tardiness in providing commentary to your literary masterpieces. We have of course been avidly and regularly reading them, however our lives have been temporarily occupied due to hosting of art exhibitions. As has been the case for the past couple of years, we have been humbled to be chosen to speak a few words in the commencement ceremony. As always, we have taken the opportunity to share extracts from your wonderful folksy masterpieces. We hope you will forgive us for not seeking permission. We know that you are as generous with your literature as you are with your time for your global readership, We also noted that you even asked the readership to not comment on your boundless generosity to your scion.
ReplyDeleteIt will be ingenious of us to not express our gratitude to you for helping us sloths to not be more active in our day to day life. Your regular walks along Whites road that you so vividly portray have encouraged us to do that. We still have challenges to fathom your active lifestyle. We say that as we have tried to follow your lead and oftentimes have found it very challenging to follow suit.
You are perhaps engrossed in the Canadian federal politics either as a candidate or a strategist, and would like to wish you success.
Thank you for making our days brighter
Dave and Linda
