My Blue Trampoline
It is Sunday morning beautiful sunny 4 C below zero, not so cold for here
in Canada. Perfect weather for my walk to Tim Horton, to my second home.
It is 10 am, I am done with my breakfast now sitting in the TV lounge, to
spend some time with my son. Everyone else sleeping.
My son is watching Sports Channel. I am busy doing my scrabble and
Sudoku books. I am also enjoying the view of my back garden, through
the big glass panels, in front.
The pear tree on the left, standing quietly. It is now changed into an
skeleton, but looks confident, patiently waiting for the days ahead.
There is always light at the end of tunnel. Keep that in mind.
" This Too Shall Pass ". We always have to think positive,
no matter what.
Black Squirrel is busy with his workouts on the wooden fence. The blue
Trampoline, in the center, looks magnificent, it's net all around,
beautifully decorated with white powdery stuff. Snow glittering under
the sun. Such a view to enjoy, to behold.
God is Great, no doubt about that. Keeps on providing us happiness,
all year round. Thank You God for everything. I love You.
It is 11.15, I am in my room with my computer, to browse Facebook
messages. My youngest daughter called me from Reading. She is back
from Paris. She was visiting her daughter, who is studying there.
She was happy.
My other daughter , the middle one, also called me from Grimsby, England.
She was in London for some concert, to attend. She, just back, was busy
with her family matters.
It is 11.45, I am getting ready. My son insisting to drive me, but I opted
to walk to Tim Horton. I am all dressed up in layers. I will be fine. We have
to push our body. What we don't use, we lose. Same with our body.
I am at Whites Road. It is busy with lots of traffic. Walkway is good, not
flooded like before. Thanks to my son, who cleared the side drains. But
when I turned to Sheppard Road, it was total mess. The entire path was
covered with snow.
I think the Town houses people, cleared their stairs and dumped the snow
here. I can not go back, I am already half way. I have to be very careful,
not to take big steps, I will manage.
It is 12.30, I am at Tim Horton, enjoying my coffee. I will write my Blog,
enjoy my time. It looks like a Full House. I got my favorite spot, anyway.
Nowadays, I am able to have good sleep.
Dear Retirees, one of you suggested me to have a sleeping pill for that and
things will be fine. Everyone does that, to tackle such problems. But my
Dear, I try to avoid, to have pills. I think these are like chemicals, we are putting into our body. Every medicine has it's own side effects.
I try to tackle things in natural way. I know, it take time and bothers a
lot but this is my style. Please don't follow me. Don't discontinue your
medicines. Everyone is different and has to do whatever suits his/her body.
I started doing some breathing exercises, while lying down in my bed, at
night time, when I go to bed to sleep. My bed time is after midnight around
12.30. It is working for now, distracts me from pressure.
It is 2.15, I am done here, with my coffee and with writing my Blog. Now
time to walk home. I will avoid the snowy walkway, will take another one,
the longer route. I will manage.
Dear Brenda, Jasmeet, Craig, Kim, Cleo, Tiara, Jimmy, please say Hi to all
my Dear Readers in your office. My Friend the Smile Addict, please keep in
mind that we all are members of the same Human Family.
Dear reader doing 2 Jobs, it is good to focus on work but this is rude to
ignore the people around. Please say sorry to my friend the Happy Worker.
Dear Retirees, for every relationship, we have to minimize our expectations.
Make contributions in the lives of people around. Don't cross your limit,
your boundary.
Respect everyone's emotions and don't intrude their privacy, their personal
matters. The only person, we can change, is our own self. Try to do that and
have patience, things will never go wrong in any circumstances.
Dear Students, please have patience and let everyone, to attend the Reading
Sessions of my Blog. You people are like my Family members. I love you all.
Kris Dear, I don't want to write anything for you, no use. I keep on praying
for my Friends, Hannah and Niklas. May God help them, to enjoy their own
lives too. Amen.

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 and are praying for her health. They asked the priest to pray but the priest said that this is a common problem that aristocrats like you have. When customers asked what he means, he said that your daughters are attending concerts in far off cities, going to Paris, etc. The customers ignored his comments and did a prayer on their own. Everyone said amen

ReplyDeleteDear Author,
ReplyDeleteWe appreciate your blog today. We specially appreciate your detailed guidance to us about how to manage relationship issues and also to address sleeping problems. Your blog created a little bit of controversy, as the doctors, surgeons, specialists and nurses who attend these readings, mentioned that medicines are good for humans. Their perspective is that these are healthy chemicals . (I probably should have clarified that there are a no. of non-retired professionals who now attend these readings. This is because of the interest of the blog. We included them in the readings but have strict rules regarding their participation in committee business. The committees are only open to the retired individuals.) . There were many retirees, including past experts who are of the view that your comments cannot be challenged. Can you please provide some additional comments to help address this controversy
Your advice about relationships is also discussed at length. Many retirees are of the view that it is the in law kids who need to change. They are asking for advice about how to do that
The retirees are also somewhat concerned about your well being. The hijab lady changed something like Emma Yujeeb a few times. The temple people also joined her. The restaurant manager was very uncomfortable with this but didn't say anything as a respect to you. The retired priest said that the retired spies noted that at certain times, the temple has more people than the fire code allows. He wanted to discuss it with the temple people but we asked them to not have the discussion at this time since you have siad no to religion. The retired atheist was very pleased with that
Some of the retirees requested me to ask you if you have any thoughts on losing weight. A no. of retirees are obese and they want to lose a few pounds. They are trying different diets hence the inquiry
thank you

Dear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteWe read your blog at the Smile Garden today. After the reading, Prof. George spoke to us. Prof George was very upset with all of us. He said that Smile is busy and yet she has to get involved in addressing petty issues. He also reminded us that Smile is not being able to have a good night sleep, yet she somehow is making an effort for writing for her readers which have much bigger issues. He also said that she is also trying to address issues which is much more important. We all apologized to the Smile Army and the Smile Army also apologized. After that Smile Army started raising slogans for you.
Some of the students are very upset with their parents. Sometimes they give us ride from the uni but then take us to different places. They dont realize that we dont have time and more importantly we are not interested. In one case, the mom of one of the students picked him up from uni and then took him to a mall. After that the mom took him to visit a relative. We students hate that. We are not interested in these things but we are stuck. We know that they lucky guy and Master Golden wont have to worry about it but for us, there is no choice.
thank you

Is Smile a good author ? No she is a brilliant author! Move over Wordsorth. Move over Herriot. Move over Dickens. Smile has a folksy style, way better than anyone else. Dont believe me? Have a look:
