 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah all :) how are u?


Today has been really nice day, alhamdulillah. I renewed my gym membership from 2023 and have now gone two times. It's good, gives energy, and I feel better already. I have gone there in the morning, it's a nice way to start a day, now that I have a chance to do so. This gym I go to is an all women gym so there's a good atmosphere. Usually people greet and maybe chat a bit, but generally everybody just focus on their own training and everyone are welcome.


...


I was thinking, maybe it's time for a favorite list, haven't done those again for a while. These things are very simple but bring me much joy. So here it goes:


1. Raisins in smoothie

My friend taught me this. Good sweetener for those of us who have a sweet tooth. Just remember to soak them before blending. There's also many benefits of eating raisins or to drink the water they have been soaked in. I remember it is a sunnah, but I'm sorry I can't provide proper information (don't know nowadays what to rely on when reading online..). If any of you readers know better, let me know in the comments. :)

But yes, a good combination is to blend together raisins, blueberries/strawberries, banana and yoghurt. I've also added some oat milk, you can add small amount of water too.


2. Spring is on the way

I know, February just started. But Spring is still coming :) Normally I would say that we are still gonna have snow but this year I wouldn't be so sure. The global warming is here, no one can doubt it anymore at this time. Yes, we've had snow and temperature has dropped more or less all winter.. but this is not how it is supposed to be. I remember one winter like this, it was the winter before Covid-19. And during the Covid time, the usual winters came back. But now, well, it's almost like we would be on March already. I have to say, well, I don't hate it, because this kinda weather is so much easier to handle. And it reminds of the coming Spring of course. Happy bubble.. well, Spring would come anyway in sha Allah. 


3. And what happens in March...

... or actually in the end of this month! You guessed it right, Ramadan is coming :) alhamdulillah. I wait for the fasting and actually I am planning to fast few days next week. We were in a situation earlier, that I didn't know would it have been good for me to fast so I waited for certain results (if you know..) so now I have a bit more catching up to do. Alhamdulillah for everything. The blessed time is here so prepare your du'aas and set your intentions ♡




...


Yeah, these type of days are my favorite days. It's been a lovely weekend. Next week a new group will start in sha Allah, called "Movement and relaxation", I don't know what we are going to do there but I'm eager to find out. It's part of the physiotherapy plan which started last year. So fasting, group, gym.. I'm happy to start next week. I hope you too will have some things to wait for :)


Until next time,


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...
