Doing little things make you happy,
Today my maid didn't come,
I wa happy,
I had the house to myself.
I made my own breakfast,
Had it peacefully,
Without her hovering around me.
I washed the dishes,
Merry and cheerful,
Singing out of tune old songs,
As spurts of water spluttered on me,
My muscles were awakening,
Urging me to jiggle and wriggle..
Then I called the watchman to help me hoover the place,
I gave him the hoover and told him to move about freely ,
It was his first time with an electric item,
He made a through job not leaving a single spot chuckling and grinning,
He was more happy as I gave him bakshish(tip).
I felt exhilarated and experienced the spritual awakening of living.

in miracles,
Every breath I take in itself
is a miracle.

You can prostrate before Allah,
And be forg8ven,
But if you hurt or do wrong to a person,
Allah won't forgive you
Until the person you have victimised  forgives you.

Fill your child's mind with your thoughts,
Or mould him your way,
Give him time and space to enjoy his childhood to the fullest,
Let him collect his own memories.

Is just a piece of paper,
But it's  value makes the world dance to its tunes,
A paper that has power,
It creates status and its greed destroys humanity.
It can cause fraud and injustice,
Most importantly break relationships.
At my age and with my children abroad,
I sometimes need help from friends and relatives,
Like shopping, oversee repairs in the house,
ordering things online or getting things for me from overseas.
But I make sure I pay them in full for the favours they have spent on my behalf,
So next time they don't hesitate to help.
I only need physical help,
For me maintaining relationship is most important,
And sometimes when I am ignored help,
I just look towards Allah,
He finds a way.
