The best thing about today is that I got to start it hearing the voice of my mother from the other end of the phone sounding well. We were so worried that we might lose her but thankfully she is better with only some harmless aches and pains.
I cannot recall every detail from today (a state of transient amnesia, I assume!) but had the chance of 85 minutes of financial review (I would more accurately call it education) that together with a few videos I watched on YouTube today will likely set me in the right direction to managing money better.
However, with all the thinking about money today, I realised that material does not matter to me much. As long as I am alive, healthy and safe, I have no fear about any financial loss since I am aware that I could find a way to replace anything if I am how I am today. I went further to think how grateful I am for everything I have in this life, for my family, my education, my mind, my body, my soul, the way I look and for everything I have or do especially the breath that I manage to take freely and comfortably (alhamdilillah)!
I ditched plans to do chores and binged watched an old Egyptian series. Of course fast forwarding given that I did not want to spend the whole day on it. But, it captured my attention. A young woman who was not allowed education by her father who ended marrying at young age someone who did not love her and married her to care for him and his mother while he reach his goals and ambitions. He prevented her from education when she tried to seek that since she realised that she could do more with her life.
After 6 years of humiliation, possession and suffering with a narcissistic husband she got divorce but found herself pregnant. She hid her pregnancy from her husband, sought help from her uncle and moved towns to live with him instead of her parents. She found friends from her childhood and together with her uncle they encouraged her to use her potential. She started working while educating herself and raising her son to be a fine boy and when her husband returned after 10 years she was standing tall, strong and without any hate to introduce him to his son. The series ended with her marrying her childhood friend who stood by her side and who loved her and respected her deeply.
The lessons as always:
Education is power!
Choosing to be with kind respectful people is your duty towards yourself!
And love requires kindness before all to be ranked as love!
The series is called:
“هي و المستحيل”
She and the impossible!
And last I would say:
Everything is possible!
