Happy with my old Machinery

-

 




Today is 29th, April is nearly done. One more day to go. It is 12.30, I am just back from my work, playing my Darts. Yesterday also, I was working from 1 to 3 pm, busy doing Carpet Bowling. At our age, time is running out. We have to grab and avail each and every slot, to make our day. I am not 100 %. My back giving me problems. What you expect with seventy years plus old machinery. This is life. In couple of days, I will be one more year older.

I believe, age is just a number. We have to keep pushing ourselves to do things, to enjoy our time, to make our day. Of course with taking our health and safety into account. One of my friend at my Seniors club, gave me a beautiful Birthday card. So nice of her. 

One of my old time friend, came back after years, to play Darts. She had stroke, was also busy with other family matters. She looked very fragile, not so strong to hit the Darts board. She was feeling low. We were trying to boost her up. We have to be for our family and friends, in their difficult moments. Anyone can face such moments, sometimes in his/her life time period. These are normal after age. Things start coming up after we get older.

We have to put ourselves in other person's shoes, to have an idea of the challenges, other people have to face in their difficult times, especially dealing with their health issues. It is not easy, need our support. This is very touchy time. They must be very emotional, deep inside. We don't have to hurt their emotions. Our purpose has to be supportive, not to let them down. 

Let him be relaxed. Don't have to pin point the issue, he has to deal with. Talk something else, to calm him down. something of his interest. Try to ignore the issue and talk in friendly manner, any table talk to let him distract and to enjoy the moment in hand. We all are members of the same Human family. Keep that in mind. We have to share special moments of our fellow being.

In happy moments, sharing will magnify the intensity of joy and celebrations. In troubled period of times, sharing will diminish the gravity, takes the burden away to some extent, so to handle it comfortably.

    I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. Everyone was very concerned when they read the blog. Even the priest was very emotional and led a special prayer to give you strength. Everyone said Amen. Some customers are of the view that it is your son who is giving you problems and thats who needs to relax. The priest also said that if you dont come to church then your kids can also become like Smile’s son. All customers with young kids are now planning to go to the church. This is to pray for you and also to curse your son for the trouble he is causing you. Thank you

    I told my daughter in law that she should listen to you and be respectful. She has not been taught respect by her parents and teachers. With the amount of sleeping that she does, I wont be surprised that she is on drugs but I dont want to say anything.

    thanks you

    Dear Advisor,

    Your today’s blog was very emotional. It was full of hope, will power but also of agony. Many retirees were very upset as they listened to the ordeal that you have to go through . We also thought that you must be stressed out mentally and psychologically because of your son. Many retirees had choice words for him.

    We suspended all committee business and had a multi faith ceremony for you. The retired priest prayed for your health to which we all said Amen. The hijab people also chanted Emma Youjib or something like that. Your Indian compatriots also did a special puja for you..

    Thank you
    recent retiree

    Dear Author,

    The students are having a very challenging time with our parents. They want to engage us in different things eg getting groceries. What next, are we also going to have dinner with them too.! We hate that. We have our own friends and we play video games with them. We dont tell them what happened in the video games. If we dont participate in these activities then they get upset. What the hell is this?


    thank you

  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
