Great Gift

  • Mood:
  • Quote: "Friends are helpful not only because they will listen to us, but because they will laugh at us; Through them we learn a little objectivity, a little modesty, a little courtesy; We learn the rules of life and become better players of the game" - Will Durant

I feel just great.

There is no better sentence to begin this post.  I'm so at ease; the resort worked wonders for me.  It has been ages since I was able to lean against a balcony's rail and feel so calm inside.  Usually, calm wouldn't be included within the 'kindly tell us how you feel?' answer. 

Hours of the first day of Eid passed by pretty quick - every 1/2 hour was spent at a different relative's house +wanting to get to the resort asap was the reason for such 'express' visits!+ Until 1-ish, where we had lunch at my grandma's house *as usual* with all my uncles and cousins present.  I truly loved the time spent with them.  Catching up on family on-goings and listening to different conversations...not forgetting discovering new personalities i.e. my cousins' kids.

Mostly, I enjoyed taking it all in..the whole picture.  With my hectic life, I miss out on a lot.  My cousins, 4 girls and 2 guys, are the living example of the most closely knit siblings I have ever seen.  Just to watch them interact and hearing them talk amongst themselves, how shall I describe it? Beautiful.  May God protect them and may they always be there for one another.

I sit & wonder sometimes, how it would feel to be part of a large family.  Lots of brothers and sisters...sweet chaos.  I don't like to think of that much though - the feeling creeps up usually after spending time with my cousins.  We should be thankful for whatever God has given each of us...or whatever He has chosen to take away.  I feel that the mere thought of that, is itself an injustice towards my brothers.  I am thankful for all that I have...my two brothers included.  I love & adore them, and wouldn't want my life to be any different.  & if I ever needed a sister for whatever reason - a v natural feeling which has crept up in the past; all very general stuff...I usually leave serious 'issues' lurking in my head between myself and God, some issues have even found their way to this blog! >_< - well, my cousins are there for me, & God willing, will always be there.  The extent to which they feel I deserve to be happy brings tears to my eyes at times.  They are amazing individuals who deserve the best in life.  I wish them all the happiness in the world & may all their dreams come true.

Last, but not least,

For the readers of this simple blog:

May all your dreams come true.

Great Gift

awal shay.. 3eedich umbaarak wa 3asaach min 3awaaadaaa :) its always nice to spend these days with family... even though i wasnt in kuwait this 3eed to spend it with my cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparetns, i still had my mom, sisters, and brothers here with me... and im thankful for that too...

inshallah you and your cousins stay close forever and ever and ever and ever... (you get the idea lol) wa youre right, we should be thankful for what we have... even though sometimes we forget to be gratful and start whining and complaining, but i guess taht is just human nature... al7emdalla 3ala kil 7aaal wa inshallah you will always have each other :)

all my love..............take care :)
