salam,
How funny can it be that i actually learnt a lesson today by watching a comedy sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother"? Hilarious it is, since that is what actually happen. I was watching one of the latest episode, i think in the latest season, where (spoil alert!)-Mashal & Lily was trying to get a baby. They've been trying for 2 months, and it seems nothing is happening. It pressured them to act all crazy just to prove something which clearly irrelevant (which leads them going around NY, on a race-but that's beside the point). The point was, Marshal mentioned that they have only been trying for 2 months, and probably it is just a sign to look back on the things they haven't get around to do yet before having a child. Holding on the moment, where there is only just the 2 of them.
That hit me, how irrevelant that i've become. I've been married for almost a year now and have been trying to get pregnant myself. But all these time i've been thinking about 'when-is-the-time', waiting for it to come. Watching that it made me realise its not about 'the time' that i should be waiting for...the fact that i shouldn't wait at all, and really live on the moment. With my husband, and my step son...taking one moment at the time. Today is the last day of school for this year for my step son, and he'll be on another year older, Standard 5, next year. I don't know if i ever would have a child on our own, I really leave it Him to decide. But in the meantime, i might have the last chance to see 'our' child come home from school with an accomplishment he had today before moving up a level in school. I'm going to stop waiting for a 'moment' and see everything that is around me as a 'moment'.
We're going on a family camping trip this long weekend. Remember to enjoy it.
Love+Peace,

This is lovely Hajar,I'm so glad you realized that appreciating everything is better than looking away at something else that you do not know when will happen,that happened to me recently,but I learned my lesson and I'm not waiting for anything now..I'm leaving everything to god,and I'm happy and satisfied with my self :)
I sincerely wish you and your family the best,have so much fun!
This is one of the most important lessons we can learn, to live in the now instead of constantly wishing for or worrying about the future, regretting or longing for the past.
I hope you and your family have a great camping trip this weekend!
Eid Mubarak :)
Thank you girls~!
Eid Mubarak to both of you... :)
becky, "to live in the now instead of constantly wishing for or worrying about the future, regretting or longing for the past."- very true indeed, although i keep forgetting about now, force of habit i guess, planning the future/learn from the past. But yes, lesson learnt as a reminder. I'm taking my moment one at a time. :)
I think we all do this - I know I do!
