Family

You know tonight I was with my family and I just love them all. ALhamdulillah it's an overwhelming feeling. It was so adorable how my nephew and my dad were playing together!! Those types of moments are priceless. My baby sister Alle missed me (she hasn't seen me in about 3 weeks) and she kept coming to me to cuddle it was sweet. My nephew and my baby sister kept hugging me! I feel so blessed to have my family in my life. They make me soooo very happy...it's always fun when I see them all in good moods of course!

One thing I have learned family will always be there to fall back on when times get rough. If you don't have family I get emotional...I don't know what I would do without my family..things would be hard. Alhamdulillah Allah blessed me with such a caring and close knit family. Something I can't ever take for granted, Inshallah.

The house I grew up in (we've had it for over 18 years) is going up for sale. It is hard for me to think once its gone its GONE! My family gets together there almost every Friday...what will happen once the house is gone? It is like a universal meeting place for everyone and it will be gone from all of our lives. Sad sad sad. although it makes me sad, it is good for my dad since he has been the financial provider and kept the house paid even after my parents divorce; now when it sells he can down size and save a lot of money on everything!! (the house is 2400 square feet, 5 bedroom, 2 bath, garage, huge back yard w/orange and grapefruit trees, basement...if anyone knows of anyone that needs a 5 bedroom house let me know..I am not sure what my parents are asking for it but I overheard it is worth $450,000 or more; OH and its in Mesa)

Anyways change is good; I am just hoping this change will help my dad find his happiness. Inshallah. Thank God for Family and Close Friends!! I would not be who I am without all of them!

Alhamdulillah :)

It is God who makes you sleep at night as if you were dead. God knows what you have done during the day. God sustains you, so that you may live your allotted span. To him you will eventually return, and he will declare to you all that you have done.

-Qur'an, Al-An'am, Surah 6:6

for some reason I love this part of the Surah...amazing! So I had to share!

just blabbing

Well I have been off work since Thursday and let me tell you that it is soooo amazing!! I love not working!! :) I can sleep in as long as I want; which right now I need since I have been sick; ALhamdulillah I am over my sinus infection.

It is just so amazing to me how 2 days off of work can be such a positive relaxation!! I suppose it must mean I needed it right? Well I am enjoying my time off even if its only 2 days.

Don't get me wrong work provides a living for me to be on my own and pay for things I need and some things I want too; but that doesn't mean I have to like it ALL the time! Right? RRRRight!!!

Now I've been thinking a lot about getting back into my working out; I used to do yoga and cardio almost every day and I was becoming a lot more happy and had a lot more energy...not to mention the mental/emotional gain I would get from doing yoga; it would destress me and it kept my shoulder pain at bay! It is very easy to say I am going to start but actually following through is my issue. I guess I need to only focus on one day at a time and doing at least one exercise at a time too! Inshallah I hope by the time I turn 25 I am back into working out on a regular basis. And hopefully I will see some physical/mental/emotional gains as well!

Anyways I was just blabbing! Hope everything is doing well. Inshallah.
Assalaamu Alaikum,
Jen :)

Sick of being Sick ICK!

So I came down with what it seems like everyone has, a cold. Yet this cold isn't the regular one; it started late Sunday night and I've had it ever since! All day Monday I didn't have to work thank God! I spent on my sofa watching tv and dosing off here and there. Tuesday morning came and MAN I was a BIG Cranky pants! I didn't want to wake up and go to work and deal with the REAL WORLD! NO NOT Today! PLEASE! Well that wasn't going to help anything so I took a HOT shower hoping it would open my sinus cavities in my nasal passageway, but it really didn't help that at all!

So I went to work anyways, and even worked 1/2 hour OT too! now I took some medicine and feel so wired, hyper and silly! Not sure if that's how you should feel during a cold but that's what happened to me! So I can't sleep! URGH! Now I am thinking I really should at least force myself to sleep so at least I am "resting" but that doesn't sound like any fun to me at this moment!!

So how is everyone!??!!! Inshallah I hope everyone is well and safe and NOT SICK! Inshallah I'll get over it in 10 days like I usually do..but until then I am signing out as a BIG Cranky Pants!
nighty night!
