Come What May

Yesterday was mother's day. I always have my late mum (and dad) in my prayers. As many things on social media, I have resisted to post anything so that it becomes like a performance for the public to see. So yesterday was like an uneventful like any other day. Our son Izhar was back with us for this extended weekend. He will soon be starting a new job in an industry after leaving APU some time last week. Late night, we went out for tea in a local mamak restaurant (nothing fancy), perhaps celebrating mother's day with their mum there.

While things are somewhat difficult, we have to keep ourselves happy. Among the things that were on my mind the past week or so, is the various ambitions that went unrealised. Most of these are worldly things and I'm training myself not to be attached to them. I should count my blessings. Lately, I'm feeling a bit vulnerable. In particular, I had a really bad back episode last week that my other half recommended me to get a voren injection, and so I did. I hope this relief of pain will last when I go back to work this week. Have been trying to finish off some teaching preparation. With only a small desk (recalling the luxury of large desk when I was in management), I had to use the bed as my work space - not a very conducive place to work (as I can easily dozed off), but it will do.

As I said, I should be thankful that I can still work. 

I do worry about the future and what will my children face. I kept myself updated of the happenings in the world. While I dislike politics (including those in workplaces), one should not be so naive as politics tend to have a large influence in our lives. I do tend to keep my family updated on significant things happening in the world from time to time. May Allah make us wiser and ease our living.
