AJ is back home, has a cough and looks weak but high spirits and very positive. God is great!
Great to have loved ones with us in these times. Try to appreciate every minute of this reflective time. If they are not with you, use virtual ways as connecting is such a heart warming feeling and brings smiles to all. The power of love and connection can give us strength in times of crisis.
This blog is early as I want to spend my evening with AJ.
I have mild flu symptoms mainly burning eyes, and lots of fatigue. I used those symptoms to finish work early and just lay in bed and listen to some soothing verses from the Quran.
It’s just crazy that in these times mild flu symptoms are what we hope to hear.
My friends had a virtual pray session at 1pm, that filled my heart with hope for the world.
A beautiful poem that soothed my soul:
What does hope do for mankind?
· Hope shines brightest when the hour is darkest
· Hope motivates when discouragement comes
· Hope energizes when the body is tired
· Hope sweetens when the bitterness bites
· Hope sings when all melodies are gone
· Hope believes when the evidence is limited
· Hope listens for the answers when no one is talking
· Hope climbs over obstacles when no one is helping
· Hope endures hardship when no one is caring
· Hope smiles confidently when no one is laughing
· Hope reaches for answers when no one is asking
· Hope presses toward victory when no one is encouraging
· Hope dares to give when no one is sharing
· Hope brings the victory when no one is winning
In short, hope gives. 🙏❤️
I felt like having French Toast as my sister in Dubai was talking about how delicious hers was, but I only had wheat bread and no cream, so decided to add orange juice, since all my friends want me to have Vitamin C and Zinc.
