on a brighter note

mash’allah my gran has two beautiful goldfish that have far surpassed their life expectancy and continue to swim and play in their blue bowl on the dinning room table. thanks to some worried questions and emails i’ve realized that i have been overly pessimistic about the last two months and i should really talk more about the positive things that i see happening around me. i guess, the gold fish are a good example of the resilience of spirit that is so common here and to which i have become oblivious. despite all the challenges and difficulties people go on.

let’s go with that thought for a while.
