Aslamualaikum everyone and peace be upon u all!

A year ago somebody told me that a smile is the lighning system of the face, the cooling system of the head and the heating system of the heart

It's been a long time, since I remembered this little saying and yesterday I was at the supermarket and I saw a woman in a wheelchair, now I am a person who always smiles, so I didn't smile at this woman, because I felt sorry for her, I just smiled, because I know that a smile is a smile, no matter what it looks like it touches peoples hearts. And at first she was suprised that I smiled at her, but then she smiled back and ahe had the most beutiful smile ever, it really lightened up her face (she was 21). That is when I remembered what a smile was.

Aalamualaikum,
This little story is about a donkey's motivation. It just goes to show how In this world people will always throw stones in the path of our Success, it depends on us? What we make from them - a wall or a bridge.

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well that the farmer had accidentally left uncovered. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do? Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, so it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

Farmer invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

Hello Everyone,
I just thought about writing about something that has been bothering me all week,before I go to bed. Instead of boring you with what happened I'll just write it as a moral type story.

Once upon a time there was a water-bearer in India who had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pot full of water in his master's house.

This week has been a whirlwind of a week and what hapened today was the icing on my cake...

This little happening today made me feel so upset and annoyed at all the people on the escalator at TJ HUGHES.

I was with my auntie in TJ HUGHES. What I didnt know, was that my auntie had decided to go upstairs without telling me, so first thing people going past me were giving me weird looks, why? because I was there talking to myslef next to the kettle things. I thought I was talking to my auntie, but it looked like I was talking to a kettle, not really my cup of tea usually but I didn't know...

Anyway when I did realise that she had gone off, I rang her and asked where she was, it turned out she had gone upstairs.

Aslamoalaikum Everyone.
I am writing this letter to my uncle. I am not trying to be weird or commit any sort of sin, I am just writing my feelings down that have been stuck in my heart for 4 years. I am trying to take the weight of some of my feelings and my hurt off my shoulders.

This letter is for my loving and amazing uncle who passed away from brain tumour. I loved him a lot and the day that he passed away I completely broke down, but Alhamdulillah I've realised that he is in a better place now.....

Dear Uncle,

An emperor in the Far East was growing old and knew it was time to choose his successor. Instead of choosing one of his assistants or his children, he decided something different. He called young people in the kingdom together one day. He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next emperor. I have decided to choose one of you."

The kids were shocked! But the emperor continued. "I am going to give each one of you a seed today. One very special seed. I want you to plant the seed, water it and come back here after one year from today with what you have grown from this one seed. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next emperor!"

This story is about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.

"Mum and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favour to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me".

"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."

"There's something you should know," the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."

"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."

"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."

I wish you all a very happy new year and I hope that this year you fulfill all of your dreams and for some of us to rediscover the strength and faith within ourselves.
To rejoice in simple pleasures and gear up for new challenges.
Today is a new year, with new hopes and aspirations.
New resolutions and promises.

This is a prayer that I am going to pray for you, I don't know any of you, but I'm starting to see you all as my friends now, maybe we can't pray for strangers I don't know. But we can definetly pray for friends! I want to thank you for all your nice and encouraging comments you gave me on my last blog (Custard and Jelly) I don't know how to word duas, but I believe that Allah (SWT) listens to what my heart says and understands.

Right I am downright bored, so I thought I might as well blog about something.
So I sat with my laptop, next to my radiator all cosy and warm and I looked around the room and I couldn’t decide what to write about other than what I did today.
I didn’t want to bore you with what I did today, (unless you want to know about The Triple Alliance and the Manchurian Crisis- yes that’s right, today I revised History- Oh Joy I know!-) :roll:
But then my mamma called me downstairs and told me to make Jelly and Custard.
