RAMADAN

The holy month of Ramadan has descended upon all muslims.Its a time for acts of humility,sacrifices and the fervent hope to be nearer to God.Forgiveness?...can I truly and honestly say that I can forgive those who were evil and unkind to me?NO!!...though I try.Its hard to forgive and forget.Most ppl say they forgive but I doubt it.It takes a great person to do so.If the wrong committed was truly unintentional,then theres space to forgive BUT it was for a purpose I say...Goddamn you...my first swear word in writing!!

This month is also a difficult month for me.As the lady of the house there are so many things to be done.Theres the cleaning,mopping dusting.Theres the baking.Theres the choosing of cutlery for the breakfast table and theres the this and theres the that.... endless really... all done by me.Dont forget the early morning trip to the kitchen to cook the 'lodeh' a fave of the family!Glory be it comes once a year and as i appproach my late 60's the energy is slowly sapping.But I soldier on!!

Want to see how the table was laid last year?And that reminds I need to think of this years setting and colour scheme and plates and spoons.......

I learnt this proverb the moment I was able to read but never ever understood it.I sort of liked it for the words not only rhymed but if u read it fast there was something like a bounce in it!It reminded of the songs...patriotic ones that appeared on the Tv screen...ones that they wanted ppl to sing along with.There is this little ball that bounces on top of the words in the lyrics and it guides you along.It wont guide you if ur hopeless at vocals!!

The past week has not been a good week for but in hindsight twas a good one too.I found that I had friends on Fb who went to lengths to raise the flag.Thank you.You know who you are because I dont!Ignorance is bliss where this is concerned I dont want to know or ever need to know.Yet I do know that the devil rages in the hearts of some unfortunate ppl!! ..and my belief in the goodness of the human race has somewhat shattered!!But I pull myself up and say my prayers.There are still nice ppl around.
The month of Ramadan is here and its a good time to seek solitude and forgiveness from Him.Selamat berpuasa to all my Muslim friends and take care to everyone else.
