Valentine's day..

It is amazing what love can do to people's life... especially when it is complemented with faith and confidence...

I can see that in my sister and her husband (newly married just last 19th of January)..
Everything changed in them.. or at least in my sister.. sharp looks became relaxed... no harsh behaviour.. life is rosy in their eyes. :):)
Is it a state of mind or soul??? Is it a new life to begin??? is it a temporary status that disappears by time???.. I think it is all together..

February is the month of love... with Valentine's day on its 14th, and celebrations are everywhere in Cairo..

10 years ago, Valentine's day was not a big deal... but since then.. all the country started to introduce Valentine's day in all its activities "like new year, Christmas, Sham El Nessim and Ramadan" it became a very important day to people.. where they started to go out in couples and celebrate this love day somewhere.. either in a hotel or a restaurant...

For me.. I will celebrate this day with my female dog Jessy hehehe... she is the only one that is faithful "by nature" and I have confidence in her.. most probably will bring some bones to chew.. and may be some crackers, and will watch the TV..

If it happens for any reason and I will go out, you will definitely hear from me.. telling you what I did exactly in that day.

I am offering my toast to all lovers in Egypt.. celebrate this day to the bones... you will never have a better chance to celebrate your emotions...

Will leave you now to watch TV.. until the next time.

Final results

At last, and after a very long 6 months of doing nothing but watching TV, the doctor was merciful enough to tell me that I am OK, and that I can walk with no crutches.. of course I still do not have the guts to do that, but at least I know that I can do it...:):):)

Now I am free to do many things.. I was imprisoned in my body, or in fact, in my leg hehe...
now I can walk on my prison and build a castle... or may be a fortress... depends on what I will do next in my life...

A hard lesson to take... however.. it gave me more confidence... and made me appreciate many things.. even the tiny ones that we take fore granted...

I now appreciate health, life quality and, above all that "time"... but in a different meaning.

We always hear that time is very important, we should not waste time, we should be multi-skilled to do many things in the same time, we should worry about the big picture rather than details... In fact I say the opposite now... time can be a healer, can give you more space to think, can give you enough of it to relax, and above all that, can give you confidence in tomorrow.

Time.. the factor that we cannot stop no matter what happens, does not work against us, in the opposite, it works with us if we use it the right way.. of course wasting time is no good... but also rushing things and running will make our hearts stop.. and damage our life.

I learned that I should give everything its time... and forget time miserliness... we will never be able to save some time aside, we will always be able to consume and spend time.. so at least we should spend it in a balanced way.. some time to be spent at work.. some time to be spent in leisure and fun, and some time for our soul...

This lesson is well absorbed now... I really should work on my life in a way that make me apply the learned lesson..

Now I am happy and I am trying to enjoy this happy moment (again back to time)... so I will take my time to enjoy it...

Will leave you now and will continue later...

Enjoy reading and please give me your comments.

Waiting forever

Imagine yourself waiting forever.. waiting for the result of an exam.. or a project you have presented to your boss.. or even an application for masters.. imagine the way you think and the anxiousness you are in when you wait for the result..

Guess what... I am in this mode since the past 6 months.. just checking every month what will be the result of my x-rays... as I told you before, I broke my leg and I am waiting for the healing..

Although it is taking much longer than I expected, it seems to me that I needed this long vacation.. It's been a long time since I had such a long vacation... for the past 11 years I was working like a dog.. may be the dog was taking a rest, but me .. "no way"..

This "must have" vacation made me think and re-think of my rythem of life. I was too fast to enjoy life.. and I am now re-considering my way of living and thinking of changing it.. or in other words, reshaping it to a better shape, rather than the too much work I used to exhaust myself in..

I am still on crutches and I am going tomorrow to the doctor.. when I talked to my sister I told her that it may be one of three answers: either I will be on one crutch rather than 2, or I will stay on both crutches for sometime, or will have to have a fourth operation..

I will see what the doctor will have to say and then inform you tomorrow of all the happenings.

Now, it is too late, and I am sleepy.. I will go to sleep now.. good night....
