Lady of leisure

I've quit my job and decided I wanted to become a lady of leisure! I've got three more weeks left in my current position and loads to do before I leave. I can't wait till 5.30pm on the 8th April 2011 when I can walk out of work and not worry about coming back on Monday morning. No more Sunday blues, no more Monday morning panic attacks and no more mid week breakdowns.

This is what I am going to do all day when I am at home :)

And I will be going to the gym (in case Mr M reads this post) because I dont think either one of us would be happy if I ended up looking like this, minus all the hair. But then again she does look pretty cute, hena?

Jesus and the third loaf

Have a look at the you tube video below, its a story about Jesus and the third loaf of bread, its a gentle reminder about the life of this world.

Sisters

Over the weekend I spent some time talking to a friend who had recently lost her sister to cancer. I listened to my friend talk about her sister and the last two amazing weeks they  had spent together before her sister passed away. My friend spoke of how her sister was the best sister she could have ever asked for and how she is so thankful to Allah SWT for letting her have had such a loving and loyal best friend. I have a sister of my own and even though we don't see each other everyday we still turn to each other for advice about the smallest things from what colour hijaab to buy to what to do in an awkward situation. I know my sister always has my best interest at heart and would never advise me wrongly and that if no one else was standing by me when times were tough she would always be there.

So for all of you out there who are lucky enough to have a sister make sure you apreciate each and every second with your sister because time flies by you so fast that before you even have the chance to look back at the good times it might just be too late.

Please make sure you remember my friend in your duas and make a special dua that her sister is granted a place in Jannat e Firdous and for Allah SWT to give her family patience and strength to deal with the huge loss.
