Everything happens for good but sometimes it’s difficult to come to terms. It happened with me when I couldn’t go to the much coveted B-school. It was a bit difficult then but now I understand how God plans everything perfectly. I would have regretted being away from my family when they needed me the most.
When I fed my mom from my hands early in the morning today, I felt thankful for being here with her. Until a few months ago, my mom used to do that for me when I would be hard pressed for time. Life changes in ways more weird than you can think and it has its ways to make you stronger, innit?
Anyways, I am happy today. My mom's latest reports have arrived and it’s relieving to see some improvement. Yea, she is going uphill… at snail’s pace but recovering nonetheless. I am sure she will get there by the end of January. I haven’t seen her walking around the house in months. Hopefully the old days will return soon.
As a token of celebration, I am making Lebanese today. It’s not very spicy and will suit my mom. Besides, today is Sunday and this is the only day of the week when we, as a family, have lunch together. We discuss current affairs and gossip over trivia; we play cards or watch movies together.
Don’t you think, life is kind enough to give you enough reasons to celebrate... sometimes it’s a sunny day, a friend's birthday, a much-awaited weekend or a holiday, at other times its a new life, a beautiful wife, a successful project or a long-due promotion. All we have to do is find a reason in everything that comes our way and celebrate it, that’s the only way to keep the ball rolling.
