A pause

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah :) how have u been?


We visited my mom, had a nice time, alhamdulillah. Got to go to sauna too, it's the best. :) 


...


I had the Asahi group today. It's nice too, today it felt more like an exercise when we were combining everything learnt so far. Then I went to pick up the new medicine from pharmacy on my way home. In sha Allah it will have a positive effect on my health. 

So it's just regular things, nothing interesting I guess.. But now I have this new direction (again) to go to, meaning more healthy activities, exercise, diet, all that I try to continuously do but drift astray from. I wonder how it is so difficult though? Or I do know, it's comfort, comfort food, a bit of laziness and a portion of anxiety. Well, I think I get better at this all the time, getting back on the track. In sha Allah. :)


...


Suttis and hubby are sleeping. Other has been sleeping for around ten minutes, and other 5 weeks. You can guess again who is who.. I feel so sleepy too but I have some things to do still so tea it is. Second cup is even better than the first. At mom's I had some coffee too, but tea is more my thing. Now I have different flavored green tea and vanilla rooibos. I drink both with oat milk, even if I shouldn't :( I've drank tea with milk since I can remember, so it's part of it for me.


...


Yeah. I've planned my evening, first I will do some chores and then I'm gonna have a good everything shower. I notice now that after the Asahi my mind feels more clear. Also I have had less anxiety now, alhamdulillah. I feel like I have better energy and am more bubbly, and also I get good response to it from people I meet through the day. It feels good. Alhamdulillah for these kinda days, it feels like a well needed pause for the regular anxiety. Tomorrow might be different, but what matters is right now, that's all we have anyways. So I'm gonna go and wash plates like I'd like it, and then wash my hair and get shiny and new in the shower, hehe :) 

Have a good evening dears, 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...
