And Yet Another Thought...

Its been a while since last posted but then again I was busy as usual with work. Things haven't improved much but a lot has happened both at work & at home...

My husband & I are planning a holiday with the family. So far it doesn't look like it will materialize... Other plans is doing up our home. We haven't done much with it cause initially we were planning on buildning our dream home, which currently is on hold for a few years, so now I decided that it is time for us to do up our home so that we don't seem to be on transit!

Currently I am going round looking for various things I can add to my home... We have changed our main door, painted a few walls plan to paint more walls with colours to brighten up the house & give it a unique/personal character that reflects who we are. it isn't easy finding things in Muscat but hopefully and in a few months we will get it all done.

My next task after that is to get different clay products to hang around the boundry wall & around the house.

Totally stressed!!!

Have you ever wondered how people reached positions they reached especially when they obviously don't have the skills or expertise to be in that position?

Having to work with such individuals is a complete torture cause they end up doing nothing & you having to do everything.

For the past 3 weeks, life at work has been a plate full. I am working on my own tasks & filling in for another colleague that has gone on leave. I must say that I am learning a lot & in many ways enjoying being busy, but what I can't stand is people being unappreciative & taking advantage of the situation. it is affecting my personal life cause as I return home from work I still need to pay attention to my kids... Tend to their needs & wants... Not forgetting the other half... All this needs a clear mind & emotions that are kept under control...

I pray every day that Allah will give me the wisdom to take on things in a positive way & the patients to deal with any problem/situation wisely...

Reassuring A Child

How do you reassure your child that things will be all right when your-self are not sure that things are all right & that everything will work out just fine?

Another day & the suspense just gets worse... My daughter's appointment got re-scheduled to another day as the doctor concerned was called in for an emergency procedure. The more things get delayed the more impatient & worried I get. Wish time just freezes... Better yet, I wish the problem just vanishes away... Ya Allah!

The thought of telling my daughter that she has an appointment with the doctor is agonizing to my-self before her. She hates going to the doctor, but the again which child does...

Thoughts on Cleanliness

Ever had to go to public washrooms or Masjids while on the go? Am sure many of you if not all of you have and dreaded the experience....

Wonder why that other nations/countries manage to keep their public washrooms clean? Visit the UAE and see for your-self. Travel by road through Europe & you will take note that the public washrooms are clean and neat.

It is truly shameful that us (don't mean to generalize) are allowing this to continue. Masjid & public toilets/washrooms are being ruined and in many cases are unusable... The stench is unbearable .

Our religion teaches us & stresses on cleanliness & personal hygiene... People not necessarily are that filthy in their homes so why is it when they use these washrooms they don't consider others who also require to use them. Is that how they would like to find it for themselves?
