Day 4
I very nearly didn't make it to my blog today! Uh oh, procrastination setting in...astaghfirullah! May Allah protect us all from laziness - Ameen.
I visited my old home in Wembley - the home where I spent my childhood, and time as a young adult. I stood at the front of the house, just looking at it, reminiscing about the good old days, well actually just thinking about old memories (every day is a good old day alhamdulillah). I thought about the time when I literally broke my left arm, and how my mum went into a fit after seeing my arm dangling! I thought about how massive the house is - an old Victorian house with massive high ceilings and walls. It has 4 bedrooms, I wondered how an earth mum kept it so neat, clean and tidy, even with guests coming and going. I fondly remembered our neighbor - 'didi' we used to call her (in hindi, literally meaning sister). She was a didi, to us all, a friend that my mum shared long days with, talking and playing the ole game - LUDO and just sharing laughter. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss those days, but at least I had them and can fondly call on those memories whenever i need to - I am extremely grateful for that. I hope and make dua that my future holds many more times of laughter and joy. Alot of the times these days I wonder whether if that ever would happen, but then I realize what an ass shaytan is and why on earth do I let him put these thoughts in my head! YUK YUK YUK!
Anyway, am very tired today so this entry is fairly short one!
