Assalamualaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
Aloha, and welcome to the new face of MakNenek. A whole year of blogging has brought me to this which frankly speaking I'm grateful for, as I'm threading on my journey with a whole new perspective, inshaallah.
Once a Morroccan friend told me that the world is separated into 2, those who eat rice and those who eat bread. That analogy can be shared with chillies and tomatoes too! I for one, am a freak for anything hot and spicy, and a week long break without them could be bearable, saved by tiny packets of takeaway fast food's chilli sauce tucked in my purse. Yes, I carry chilli sauce in my purse, and on longer trips, perhaps a whole bottle of it. Yet, I'm married to someone from a continent where its milder counterpart Tomatoes, raved in the kitchen and will not tolerate any of my chillifying expeditions. Though our differences did not stop at our inter-gallactic appetites, still, we're one and equal. I have come to believe that differences broadens one's mind, tests one's patience and will bring one to another level of human understanding and greater capacity to love. A song goes, To know him is to love him. Or shouldn't it be the other way around?
3 years later, a lovely daughter fills our lives with joy and happiness, and we're about to receive another bundle very soon, inshaallah. 2 years ago, I was nervous at being a mother, unsure what it's all about and was too careful to let my emotions take the better of me, yet today, I'm anxiously anticipating the arrival of yet another of Allah's gift, already embracing him with lots of love and picturing a positive future together.
Time does miracles to a person. It heals wounds. It gives hope. It promises life. Alhamdulillah, for everything that HE gives and HE takes.
Welcome back, and thanks for hanging around :)
