Day of a tortoise

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah dears :) how are u doing?


Yeah, I think I've overcome most of the anxiety. Now when I say this out loud, probably it will continue but alhamdulillah. I've been listening ruqyah while I have run errands and it's working really well. I recommend to try it, there's so many ruqyah "mixes" in Youtube so you can choose what resonates the best. 


...


There has been some sad news, everywhere. I try to make myself happy with little things, as I happen to have this luxury and also this mental health. I bought some modelling clay and I'm excited to try it. I already have an idea what I want to make.

I also applied to a school. What? I did it really. We'll see what happens, they might not choose me but at least I will try in sha Allah.


...


But what's news today is that I cleaned Suttis' vivarium, lol. I clean it about 2-3 times a year. He is not very smelly, but it's good to freshen up. I went to pick some coco soil in the morning, got heckled on my way two times, came home and sighed to hubby maybe too many times that cleaning Suttis' home is a lot of work! He helped me then of course and we spiced things up for our little boy and now he has such nice, newly arranged vivarium. While we cleaned, Suttis was enjoying the sun on the balcony. And when I put him in the vivarium to see the news, he was so excited that he went around, ate, then wanted to come walking on the floor, was also horny for a second as they might be, and then went to sleep in the corner. What a day :) hehe. Seeing him happy is so precious.




...


I also baked some chocolate cookies. I try to have an easy evening. By easy I mean that I really check myself how I'm feeling and try to stay on the positive side. No too much social media, or anything else that will just distract me. I'm on this quest to build myself up so I must be working on it. :)

I hope you are doing well. If not, in sha Allah it will pass, it always does. Have a nice evening and later then,


Aisha

Middle of everything

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah 🌻 how's everything? The pause has had an good impact. I've done mindfulness exercises every day, and focused a little more in this world and all that is going on currently. And right now I'm, once again, learning about the right balance.  ... As a muslim, I am not supposed to be attached to this world, dunya, because it is temporary. The temptations there are, are making it easy to let desires lead one's life. And lead it astray. To me, for example, it doesn't take much. If I slip on few steps, I will feel very quickly I have gone more distant from Allah (swt). That only brings me emptiness.  So an easy way might not be a good way. But balance is not an either - or. It's found in the middle. ... I love nature. Animals, plants, the sun, the moon. Wind, rain, snow. Ocean and forest. I dream of a simple life, and to feel rooted in the Earth. Because this world, as we know it, doesn't exist only in vain. It is filled with beauti...

Had a nice time

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh each and every one :) how has your weekend been? I'm happy, alhamdulillah, I've had a very nice weekend. Yesterday I was out at bit, had lovely time. Today I walked to a nearby shopping mall, to a halal market to be specific, and bought few things for today's dinner. I made a Finnish dish, meatballs with mashed potatoes and some boiled green beans. I'll share my meatball recipe below (sorry, no pictures.. but if you are used to cook, you will succeed with this recipe in sha Allah). ... Alhamdulillah. I'm listening an instrumental version of the Algerian song "Aicha" and enjoyed some green tea. I've upgraded my teas and occasional coffees by making them in a high, thick glass. Instant coffee looks like a latte, instantly, lol :) Tea also tastes more refreshing from a glass. Hmm. Some tea lingo, english to finnish: tea - tee green - vihreä black - musta maito - milk oat drink - kaurajuoma sugar - sokeri hone...

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh :) how are u doing? Alhamdulillah. I got to visit my friend last weekend, we just both had flu so we didn't really do much else than what we were capable of: drinking tea and coffee and scrolling through Tiktok. But alhamdulillah. It was nice to see her and it was nice to come back home to hubby and turtle too. I'm still a bit feverish but getting better in sha Allah.  ... Fast forward to evening, I made some pancakes with date syrup, yum :) a nice treat. I've been crying all day, not gonna tell the reason, I'm sorry, but just things seem frustrating sometimes. Pancakes were a good medicine for this and a hot shower later, and I will be new again in sha Allah. For some time again.. ... Suttis, the tortoise, was lucky today to receive a package my husband kindly went to pick for him. A sleeping hut! Well, basically he just checked it with a slight interest and layed down elsewhere (on the cold hard floor..) and I did what al...
