You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.
My word is... / Give me 5 --blessings! / All you need is........... / Explosive growth in 2009! / First day of school madness / From Your humble servant / My special thanks to YOU for 2008 / Pictures worth a thousand words / How do I TELL you? / Modifying and adjusting /
Wisdom of the ages / Sunday, January 11, 2009 @ 7:50 PM
I have only begun to read this book and I am soo addicted to it. I was so exhausted the last few days that usually on days like these, I will go straight to bed without reading but because this book is so incredibly awesome, I somehow found the energy to take the book and read for at least 20 mins.
This story is so simple and I am so blown away by it. I am only halfway but I was so inspired by the words from the poet chapter that I simply must share it with you here. This is taken from the poem at page 35 which I really really like:
For the common man sees his plot of ground as little more
Than a place to sit and ponder the things that will never be
But the uncommon man sees his plot of ground as a castle,
A cathedral, a place of learning and healing.
Did you know that author, Jim Stovall is blind? You do not have to have eyes to be able to see. You simply need to see with your heart.
Today is Sunday but my day started as early as 7 am. Had driving lesson at 7 am, and then went for breakfast, then to the market, shop for groceries and finally back home by 11.30 am. My driving lesson is slowly burning my pocket so all the more I MUST pass the first time. Plus, I have an added reason why I should pass so I will, I shall make it happen.
I really wonder why my instructor would ask me to read the newspaper when he needs me to wait. Its so funny. He is also such a patient man, I tell you, he kept asking me to drive slow and if its a long drive he will start talking about life, about people, its almost like preaching and I can only nod along and laugh.
I was looking forward to stay home yesterday but was 'forced' to go out. Hah. I think I accidently strain my lower back, which is an old ailment really and it caused me so much pain yesterday, I cannot sit, cannot stand, cannot lie down, every movement caused a great deal of pain and it simply sucks ok. I do not remember when was the last time I was in great physical pain as 2008 was really a healthy year for me with no mcs (yay!) from work.
I was thinking that if this does not get better, there is no way I can make it to work on Monday where I need to move around a lot so I was praying hard that it will get better today. It is better today but moving from sitting to standing, and vice versa is still slow and painful but I cannot simply stop all activities right? Plus this week is really almost booked with so many things to do and places to go, I cannot afford to be unwell.
Allah swt has truly created us beautifully such that even if one function or one part of our body is not working, we would be incomplete.
I am getting better. I AM better insyaAllah.
Anyway lessons start tomorrow and that means I have to finish my lesson planning by tonight!
Have an awesome start to the week!
