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

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...
