I am at Union Station, in Downtown Toronto
It is Thursday cold windy morning with 7 C below zero, gusts around
55 km. I don't go to my work place. I mean no Darts and no Bowling
in my library today.
I already have plans for my day. I have to organize my wardrobe. Sort
out dresses to pack and some to give away. I will take out some lying
down so long in my suitcase. It looks a big and boring job to me.
I am postponing this since last week. I have to do it now. I will take
everything out, will spread on my bed, it will be easy to sort. I will try
that. It is 11.30, I am done. Now time to get ready for my walk.
I know it is cold and windy, I will dress up in layers. No worries, I will
manage. It is 12.15, I am at Tim Horton. It is full house here. Mostly
students from the nearby High school are here.
I like these young faces, look full of life and with no worries. World is for
them, is like a playground, to enjoy and to have good time. I am enjoying
my coffee, writing my Blog.
It is 1.30, I am done, have to go home, have to make couple of calls. Call to
my younger brother. He lives with his daughter in Whitby, 30 minutes away
from my place, Pickering.
I will call my childhood grade five friend. She lives in London, England.
She is visiting her brother, in Mississauga, 40 minutes away from my place.
I will call her to make plans to have some time together to meet at some
place.
I have to make some other calls too. My youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy
will be back from school at 3 pm. I will make something nice to make him
happy. It will give me happiness too. I have lot to do, have to go, talk to
you later my friends. Have a great day.
It is Tuesday, I planned to see my grade five friend. We will meet at Union
Station, in downtown Toronto. It will be one hour train journey for me from
Pickering station. She will also take train to be there from Missisauga.
It is 12.30, we are here having lunch together. Having Chicken Shawarma,
will have coffee from Tim Horton, that will be novelty for her as she is from
England.
It is 5.30, I am home, had a great day. To be with your childhood friend, is
a novel experience, to enjoy, to cherish. We are lucky, to have the
connection alive for so long. It is nearly more than six decades, we did our
school, together, still are connected. Amazing.
It is Thursday, my back giving me hard time for about a week, I have to
slow down but I don't want to. Time flies, we have to make use of every
moment. To get whatever, we can avail from the moments, which go on
slipping from our hands.
Whole week, I was busy with my work, in the library. I met with my friend.
I am enjoying my time as much as I can. To enjoy our time, we have to make
sure, not to disturb others. We have to take into account everyone's
emotions and their privacy, not to make other people's lives miserable.
Tomorrow early morning Friday, I am planning to go to Chicago to see my
youngest sister. She is not in good shape, now is in Retirement Home, selling
her house. I will go for shopping to get some presents for my sister. She has two daughters and one son, I will buy something for them too.
My son is driving me there. It is nearly twelve hours drive. My younger
brother also going with me. His daughter lives in Chicago. I am worried
about my back. I have to do packing. We will stay for the weekend, back
on Monday night. Need your prayers.
Please make sure, do it in your hearts. Don't disturb the atmosphere around
and please not at the cost of your work. Just keep me in your thoughts, that
will be more than enough for me.
My Friends in Ireland, please respect everyone's emotions. Nothing is such
a big deal, so to mess up the atmosphere. Just relax and let it go. Forget and
forgive. Patience is virtue, always wins in all circumstances.
Dear "N" please let your family to visit. They want to see you, they will be
happy. You will get happiness too. What goes around, comes back to you.
I hope you will understand that.
Dear Retirees, please ask everyone, not to disturb the atmosphere of the
Cafe. We have respect the people around. Now about Smile with Smile program. Forget the visiting professor of Canada. Don't have to make
any committee.
Kris Dear, I am not happy with the things at your place. I never get lunch
from my grandsons. I give to them. Father goes on twisting my Blogs, to
make Hannah and Niklas lives miserable. Please don't take Niklas phone
away and let him play his video games. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteI have posted blog in the Smile Corner. .There were a lot of customers today but that was expected. The councillor from the other district is banned from coming to the blog readings because he was accusing you of creating division. The local councillor and many others met and decided that. They also said that though you are English but not all English aristocrats are bad. The priest was here today and yesterday. Both days, he was and giving everyone veggie omelette after they say Morning Smile.
ReplyDeleteMy Smile is awesome! She has an awesome friend. 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 went for our walk today. Our walk though very long, is nothing compared to the ones you take. The retirees then had our lollipop
The retirees appreciate your blog today. The retired physical instructor led the reading of the blog and pointed out that your physical activities are impressive. He said that though you dont take supplements but was wondering if your diet has anything special like extra protein.
The committee to find the identity of the professor has been disbanded however not all members of the committee were here today. We have set up another committee which is tasked to wrap up the search as per your instructions
thank you
recent retiree
Dear Author,
ReplyDeleteWe read your blog at the Smile Garden today. These days are exam times so the attendance was light as about 200 people were there. This is about 25% less than the normal attendance. Dean and Prof George left after the reading. Prof George was heard saying that may God be with Smile since she is going all the way to Chicago with her son. The Dean didnt say anything but simply said that yes it is somewhat concerning. They left because they had to manage exams as our exams are on weekends also. The Smile Army didnt play darts today as many of them were very nervous about you. Mrs Lucy asked everyone to pray for your health and gave everyone carrot dessert as per your recipe
Thank you
