God Listens to All of His Creatures

Image
It is Saturday sunny very hot morning, it is 36 C right now Today is last day before my flight. Yesterday was the Birthday of my Eldest, we went to eat out to Chinese Restaurant for dinner. Today I got comments from my Readers Family early, not from everyone, it takes time. I will get all at the end of the day. I am not happy after reading that. Dear Retirees I don't know why Priest takes the spot whenever he gets  any chance and same is the Lady. Anyone can do Prayers. I believe that God listens to everyone, to All of His  Creatures. I am a very Religious person please don't take me wrong but  I don't  think we have to force this to others. There are Special Places to do  Sermons  and for such things. I think this is the reason that people are moving away from Religion. Our Clergy People and all the Big people from every Religion trying to push and to impose to listen to them.  Anything which is imposed  never works....

Kris Dear it is not good to waste all the food Father is very selfish not letting to give away It is Friday sunny beautiful morning 32 C later will be 36 C It is my working day but so many things to be sorted out so I skipped and decided to stay and finalize things. I am nearly done categorized what to hand carry and what will go in my trolley and suitcase. My room is in mess but I know what is there and where it will go. I always do my final packing on the evening  before my flight so no pressure. This is my routine. The only thing which is not routine for me is that I booked a wheel chair. This is the first time I am using that but I think we have to go with the flow. I mean go with how our body talking. I think it is 75 years old machinery so need some help. I used to walk around the airport and every time used to be the last person  to  go inside the plane as when you go in you have to sit for hours. I think have to change our ha...

Dear Retirees I told you before  that I don't take any supplements It is Tuesday morning sunny bright beautiful with 21 C Dear Readers you people must be thinking why I am writing  this sunny beautiful morning sort of repetition every day.  My Dear this is very important piece of writing. I believe that words play very important part in our life.  Words from our own self and also from other people around. It can make or break our day. It can ruin our day,  change  our mood,  our direction. It can flip our gloomy day into a happy one so never take it lightly. This is very important to begin your day with some positive words. It will give very positive impact and will be a great help in changing your entire day plan. Go with that. Write some positive words on a piece of paper and keep it on your table. Put it on any table where you can see it more often during your day. Words become more powerful when you write it down....

It is 9.15, I am in the Billiard room enjoying scenic view through the big glass panel in front, also writing my Blog. In the morning I was for a while on my driveway, in just couple  of minutes there was so much to see and to observe. Pink and  yellow flowers giving me smile from my next door neigbor front yard. Couple of birds saying Hi to me from tree top. This all was enough to brighten my day. Just bring it on, I am ready to face whatever is there. I can handle. Right now I am thinking about Father, mixing cream in your coffee and putting cut fruits in your  oatmeal bowl, is not making like your breakfast my Dear.  Now thinking about Joint Family Living. I still believe that there has to be a balance. I don't agree wit...

When to talk and how much to talk

Kris Dear please don't yell at Niklas It is Tuesday morning 24 C I am not working today. It is my calls  and walk day. I called my Daughter in Grimbsy others are at work. She told me that she will be coming to London on 7th of  July to  pick me up. 8th July is her birthday, we will celebrate that in London after that will go to Grimbsy nearly 7 hours drive. Her husband's birthday is on 12th, they are having a big event for that on 14th July. Everyone coming I mean my Daughters from Reading and from Croydon with their families. It is his 60th birthday so She has a big  plan  for that with 200 plus people. Father please keep in mind nothing will be cooked at home. She will be  there like  a guest as everything to be served will be from outside. I don't  think  anyone does that.  I mean, to make Hannah cook for hundreds  of  people.  If it costs from outside then don't do it.  On Saturday m...

I am not done still in the Ring

Kris Dear please let Niklas play Video and watch TV It is Monday morning with 29 feels like 34 C summer is here will stay for a while. Showers and thunder storm on the way later in the evening. I am now in the Billiard room writing  my Blog thinking about my Dear Readers. Father is upset but I didn't say anything wrong. Father thinks only about himself. He thinks he is doing great by throwing ice on Niklas  face, making him to wake up early but it is abuse. Kris never stops inviting people at his place as Hannah is a very good  servant sort of slave. She can cook for any number of people without prior notice, all sorts of dishes, deserts and so on. Can you imagine. Everyone's only job is to make Father  happy. My Dear Reader doing 2 Jobs never stops talking about my Blogs, which always results in losing his Jobs. I pray for him. My Dear Retirees are tired of handling the new member of their group, the Lady. First there was the Priest ...

It is Sunday sunny hot morning with 26 C later on will be 35 feeling like 41 C. In summer it is real hot here. In the morning after my  breakfast, I watched Little House on the Prairies, my favorite  show.  It is short and sweet, I don't like to spend so much time on TV It is 10.30, I am at Petticoat Creek. Water is calm, it is summer time  so lots of activities going on. People busy in walking, fishing, and biking. Birds are back in their cottages under the bridge.  On top of the bridge Green color inter city Go train is passing through. Here comes another one bluish grey and orange Via train, which runs through Canada and States.  A single sea gull sailing graciously on the calm and quiet dark grey water. It is 11.45, I am at Tim Horton enjoying my coffee with toasted raisin biscuit, writing my Blog. Thinking about Father, he is something, I never stop thinking about him. I am also thinking about my Dear Reader who kee...

I had couple of small loads of my laundry. I did 2 loads yesterday in the evening. I have to do my bed sheets laundry today. I did that early morning before my breakfast. I put my load in washer and by the time I was done with my breakfast, it was ready to go in the dryer. It is 10.30 I am done with everything now time to be with my computer. We have to divide our Day Plan into time slots, to work with. That way we feel no pressure. I figured out that my sleep has now different pattern. Somehow it is programmed with alternate schedules.

Happy Eid Mubarak To All My  Dear Muslim Readers It is Friday sunny beautiful morning with 24 C I am working full time  today playing darts and bowling too. It is 9.15, I am sitting in the Billiard room  writing my Blog thinking about my Dear Readers Family. Nowadays I am not having good night sleep. I am not thinking about my trip or any such thing still it happens most often. I don't care about that  anymore, taking  it as my routine. I don't take nap during the day. No matter what, I sleep or not, I go to bed after 12 midnight. This is another  big problem with me but you are what you are. We have to accept our  personality the way it is. Sometimes back I mentioned 3 As formula. I believe in that.  It is like this. 1 : Accept yourself 2 : Acknowledge yourself 3 : Appreciate yourself We always have to give value to ourselves. Try to appreciate  your  positive actions. Reward yourself for all those ...
