We have to respect everyone's opinion

Image
Dear Retired Priest First of all Bazar was on Saturday not  Sunday. It was not Church event. It was our Club Bazar. The important thing is that, not fair to impose on people  to make them do things. Don't push for Church Bazar. Respect everyone's opinion They have right to choose It is Sunday beautiful morning with 18 degrees , no gust no rain calm and sunny day. Yesterday was a big day for me. I baked two cakes for the bake table at our club Bazar. They put $ 4 sticker on each of my cakes and they were gone. Couple of months back I met someone at the library. We became friends. She is of my daughter's age. I believe in friendship nothing matters. We have to be on the same page, only that counts. Yesterday she was having Bazar at different location. She wanted me to come. I was not sure as we are also having our own club Bazar. Sometimes wishes come true.  Yesterday I invited my brothers with their families to have dinner at our place...

I will help out to make arrangements for Bazar. You know I try to get out for everything to keep myself busy. It works like a sort  of meditation for our mind and body. Helps to keep us away from negative thoughts and directs our mind to take our body in the positive direction. To think  positive is the key to lead a happy life, my friends. Now I have to go to help out for Bazar. I Have to sort things out to put in variou...

We have to value ourselves  after that we will start giving valu...

I was planning to walk but I will skip today, not safe. My son gone to London 2 hours away to pick my Eldest from Uni, he is done till September Today I am thinking about all of you my Dear Readers. First of all I have to talk to my Friend doing 2 proud Jobs. I told you so many times that we don't have to make personal  Comments. No on likes that. Please don't do that. This is not  helping, it makes people annoyed.  Now my Dear Smile Army Friends, we don't have to completely change our focus. I mean as I mentioned in my yesterday's Blog that we have to distribute our day in slots. Time for everything must be there to give our life a balance. We can not ignore our work, our career that is very important still we can have time to enjoy and t...

Plan Your Day in Slots

Image
Dear Smile Army Friends Make sure that you have to  work on your grades too Thanks for keeping track of  your emotions. I am proud of you Kris Dear please Cancel party Why you asked Hannah to make  fresh food, she already did so much Not fair to her. Niklas needs to enjoy his game and TV time It is Saturday not sunny still bright morning with 5 degrees raining since last night. I have to plan my day as it is weekend. Doesn't mean we have to be hard on ourselves, be flexible but have to distribute our day in slots. We don't have to leave our mind alone to wander in the land of  stray thoughts. It will take you to the forbidden territory of negative thoughts.  That will lead to loneliness, self pity and we will enter the zone of  depression. Please try to keep yourself busy with anything  you like to do.  Last night I didn't have good night sleep, things happen when we are getting old. We don't have to take...

Attitude Plays Key Part in Our Life

Kris Dear, this is too much why you ask Niklas to take Father for walk. His school is very important.  Leave Niklas alone. What is this. Why Father  making fun of his own Grandson.
