ok SO.....Let's try this again....

Assalaam alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatahu

Thanks to all your comments... After reading them I realized that I made it seem that my life is really that bad. I guess when I am having a bad day, I am going to have to maybe NOT BLOG lol I asked my friend, Michele, to make sure I do not do that again hahaha.

So one of the blogs I read is...
I so enjoy it and it always cheers me up when I am feeling down. Her faith and beautiful way of life really inspires me. Needless to mention that her photos on her blog are very pleasing to the eye ;)
One thing she does on her blog is list the things she is thankful for.
So I am going to follow her example today. Incha'Allah. ( wish me luck ! )

Things that I am thankful to Allah (SWT)( not necessarily in order! );

1-That Allah(WST) guided me to Islam.
2-My three wonderful babies, big and small that bring me joy and happiness with just a touch of their hands or when I simply just think of them. These kids have kept me going when I thought I could no longer continue. Al hamdullilah for them.
3-Family, even though do not call often. I think of you all always. A special mention of my little(not so) Brother whom I love so much.
4-friends and sisters, from past to present and future Incha'Allah. Also ones online and offline. These people have taught me so much and I would not be the person I am without you all. Thank you.. ( u know who u are) that support and listen to my complaints and encourage me to be positive and have more sabr ,patience and faith. I know for a fact that Allah(SWT) brought each of you to me as a blessing.
5- My kitty'cat, Maggie... who always comforts me when I am sad and wants just to be near me and feel a little stroke(petting) now and then.
6-All hamdulilah for coffee!!
7-My job, which brings me satisfaction and the ability to help patients and their families with chronic diseases.
8-I can't write a list here without mentioning spaghetti. ( laugh all u want ! )
9-Thankful for not living in the city.
10- Even if things are not so great at the moment... I thank Allah (SWT)for my husband. I only married once in my lifetime and I chose that man to be him for a reason. May Allah hep us to become closer and be able to get through difficulties with more compassion, patience and love. Incha'Allah.

Well... I am thankful for so many things...one is for Itto and the idea to be positive like this. These are just things that come to mind at the moment.

The weekend is coming and there is going to be a lot of action around here. The two older teenagers will be staying home this weekend.. ( kinda, cause really I am going to have to drive them EVERYWHERE lol) So today , I am going to have to cook up some snacks...cause they are hungry teenagers !

Please make duaa for my mother in law who is presently going through chemotherapy for breast cancer. She has little support, care and money. She is being so strong and not complaining at all. May Allah ease her suffering and heal her soon. Ameen

Have a great day all !
