Get through

Salaam 
Summer is coming . Last week it's been really hot in here , btu this days it's cool ; sunny but not hot , sometimes even a bit cold . 


I haven't posted in quiet sometime and the excuse for being busy doesnt truly fit this time . However , one thing I noticed was that many of the blogs I follow haven't been updated recently ! Exept for Ihijabi and Shaza's scrapbook . 
It makes me think , maybe it's not about being busy but probably not having the intention or motivation to write a non interesting -even unpleasant - blog post .
As for my case , work ( what I mean by work would be my role among the organization I'm part of ) has been taking All my life ! 
We're facing several serious problems in it in this past few months , and this hasn't been free of stress or anxiousness . Especially when sometimes , there is nothing truly that we can do yet , we are so interested and concerned . Well in shaa Allah khair , and goign through all those details is definitely something I don't want to go through or write aboute right now , simply because it's an everyday concern that is 24/7 on my mind . 


But this , indeed , showed me how patient I can be , and if you know me you'll be chocked hearing this because I'm the last person in the world who can wait this long . I passed through depression , tears , stress , anger and being upset all the time , it just didn't work and wont obviously work . The horrible fact that there is no runnign away from waiting makes me tired , and eventually we are going to turn toward waiting again . 


Nothing come easy , and alhamdulilah I learned to be patient since chosing is way much better than having to be forced to accept it . 


It's very consoling to know I'm not alone in this , many people are in the exact same situation , but most of all knowing that people who aren't concerned show their support . It overwhelmes me getting messages from peers , friends and coworkers in other offices , asking about if there are any updates , and offering to listen , and comforting me , I'm deeply grateful and thankful to that alhamdulilah . 


Everything has an end , thankfully , but the journey is what matters , and in shaa Allah this will end on kheir with a lesson and a happy faith , and we will get through it . 


I would like to end this post about a very deep and beautiful quote that spreads hope and courage deep inside ( it is from Sheikh Muhammad bin Rashed Al maktoum's book , and was used in the speech of AUD's Valedictorian during the graduation ceremony of this year ) :           " Every morning in Africa , a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or be killed . Every morning in Africa,a lion wakes up . It knows it must run faster the slowest gazelle , or it will starve . It doesn't matter whetter you're a lion or a gazelle - when the sun comes up, you'd better start running ."
