Happiness does not wait

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah all :) Weekend time, yay :)


This week and weekend has been nice, alhamdulillah. I went to visit a kind of a community center, for mental health rehabilitators, on Friday. It seemed ok and in sha Allah I will go there on Monday too. We went there together with my occupational therapist and I enjoyed the time. Usually nurses and other workers change often at the clinics, so I hope I could keep my doctor, nurse and the therapists because they are the best I've had. In sha Allah.


...


I have been a lot in the kitchen, so it's nice to sit down and spend time with you guys too. Yesterday I was making meat pies (and regular dinner too), today I made garlic potatoes with some store bought chicken wings, and baked a banana bread. As you see from the pictures, I didn't have the regular bread tin but this came out fine and actually about 25 minutes faster as supposed :)

We have been improving our turtle's enclosure. Now he has some rocks to climb on, a nice fake plant lol and a better food bowl. And a little basket ball, accompanied with another ball. More yet to come in sha Allah :) He's been doing fine, ma sha Allah, he is very active. Likes to eat a lot too. With tortoises one has to be careful not to overfeed them as it will make their shell have a pyramid-like growth, which can be even painful to them. But I noticed his arms to look very slim after his 4 month sleep so that's why I have been more gentle with his diet. Poor thing, getting fat by eating his greens..





...


Alhamdulillah. What more can I say. I mean, I am very grateful for how everything has turned out recently. This might be a brief moment of ease before the tests destined for the future appear, so I want to take this time to just appreciate that for a short while, everything is fine ♡ Thank you for reading and being there for me.





Next time then,


Aisha

Good to see you

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh dears :) how are you doing? It's the endless promising that I will write more often.. I don't know why it is like this. But I'm really happy to see that you, dear readers, come back even though my lack of consistency. I can only promise to try to be better ;) I have been a little sick and even now I'm having some migraine symptoms. I've been in flu and had sore throat. Usually I'm physically healthy so this has stressed me out a bit. But alhamdulillah, getting better just in time for Ramadan. :) ... So yes. I have some news.. I got married ♡♡ I'm happy and it feels easy. We are still a bit strangers, we got married fast, so it's a bit of a learning process still. My husband is very sweet and takes care of me. It's the small things, he helps at home, always brings something when he comes (we are not living together yet), and gives compliments and intimacy. Alhamdulillah. Everyone have their misdeeds and m...

Hello hello!

 Assalamu aleikum everyone! 😊❤ How are you doing? It feels great to start over. For those who don't know, I used to write a blog with the same title, "Cup of tea with Aisha", for around five years until I decided to demolish the whole thing. 😌 And it felt good. It was one part of my journey, finding myself and healing, and also about all the stumbling along the way. But now that part, is a part of the past. I'm still on that same journey, but on another level - a lot has happened and changed. So this is it, same me but maybe a different perspective.. I hope that with sharing my thoughts and insights, you may find yourself not feeling alone with yours. ❤ in sha Allah. ... In my profile, I tell I write about daily life, food, beauty, travel, islam, mental health and relationships. So, for an introduction, here's a brief 411 of these subjects in my life.. Daily life Right now, my daily life is very simple. In Finland everyone starts by asking about work or school, ...

Night time thoughts

-
 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. How are you? I am stressing about some personal issues, so can't sleep. So, I'm making a cup of coffee, planning to stay up all night. And go market in the morning. I have the luxury to take a nap later, so staying up tonight is not a problem. This happens for me sometimes, I just have to stay awake all night. Night is good time for writing, as I feel a bit more creative. The vibe is different and the stimulation of outside world has shut down. ... What would I write then? I want to write about Palestine, I want to write about Sudan, Congo.. Afghanistan. Kashmir, Uighur muslims, Rohingya sisters and brothers.. Yemen, Syria. And more, that I know or don't, yet. The world is burning because of Western democracy, which means white supremacy and colonization. Certain countries supporting each other in this atrocity. Even Finland, a nordic, "real democracy", the "happiest country in the world", is delivering gun...
