Letter to God

I’ve done my part… or so I think


Dear God…
I know it is strange to send you this message since you do have other means to communicate to you… I know really that you are there for me.. not only for me but for everyone on this planet and for every creature you have created.

I do not claim that I was doing all the right things you asked us to do… or all the good things you wanted us to do… but I felt you always were with me… and you are still with me in all what I am doing…

Of course I do mistakes, and I sometimes exceed my limits… but I feel you understand me and you are forgiven… JJ

I always think of you and believe in your power.. and believe that you will help me out from my situation

You helped me in my operation and my health problems… you stood beside me and made people stand beside me for that… you even gave me a lump sum gift from you.. I never thought it would come to me JJ
You made me feel comfortable, while I was in pain… you assured me that there will be a good tomorrow… you sent me all the good people to help me, and even sent me people I never thought they will stand beside me.
I really remember that… and will never forget that when I was in the worst time… you were there for me… you did not forget me… you did not deny me from your mercy and blessing…

I remember that you sent me people to ease away pain and to boost my moral.. you even gave me power to say yes and no… you gave me power to conquer pain, heal and stand… you gave me power to be patient and calm… to look at the positive side of everything… and to learn lessons from what happened.

I am grateful to all that… and grateful that you inspired me and gave me part of your power.

I am grateful to everything you made for me… and more grateful that you made some people appear in my way to help me out… even when looking for a job… you made people ask me to send them my resume, without me asking them to do so… JJ

I am grateful for love that you kept in my heart… the passion and emotions that I express… the love that I spread all over and around me… the friends that you made me gain during this period of time… the activities that you kept me busy in for me not to feel bored… the adequate trainer who trains me to help me to come back to normal status and ride horses again JJ

I want to thank you for everything you’ve done to me… I sometimes look like I do not care in front of people, but I do not care about their opinion… because ONLY you who knows what I think and how I act… even when I do mistakes, you know that those mistakes are learning lessons… JJ

I love you and I think you are there for me… I know that I ask you sometimes for too much.. but you created me like that, and you know my keys and how I operate… sometimes you give me choices… and when I choose the wrong one… again you are there to support me in it… somehow with your mercy and blessing…

I sometimes act wild… arrogant… irrational… or may be ignorant… but deep inside me there is faith… faith in you… in your powers… in what you can do… and I believe you always save the best for last… JJ

I am trying to find words to thank you but I cannot find them… I am really speechless… this letter is a confession… I have done my part and told you everything I am thinking of and I took everything off my chest ..I feel relieved that you read this and listened to me…

May be you know that for a fact, but I really wanted to write it to make it as a statement.. to feel that you really know it.. and may be just writing it made me feel more confident in tomorrow and in your power…

I cannot say more than that… I feel I burdened you with all this letter… I know you know all of it beforehand… but writing it seems to me like a reassurance for my mind that you know it…

Looking forward to hearing from you soon..

With all my love and respect..

Your grateful creature…

Alexandria... best weather during this time

Helloo all how are you??

As you all know... I was out of job for a while, since I was recovering from my accident...:):)
I am now trying to enjoy my time as much as I can... so thought of going to Alexandria (Actually King Marriott) for a long weekend... starting on Wednesday and ending on Sunday...

The weather is amazing here... I just met my friends here... and went to see the horses in the stables of King's Ranch (A very nice social and horseback riding club in King Marriott)...

Really had an amazing and lovely time with friends...

I have friends here from different age groups... ... you will find their pictures here :):)

The best thing about our friendship, is that we try to find the common ground and interest between us, and we try not to put pressure on accepting each others' problems or non-common interests..

We share the related views and related activities... rather than someone pulling the other to his pole or side... which makes a perfect relation..

I think this is the truth about friendship... finding the common ground... the common interest... the common activities... and work around them... This way friendship stays longer...:):)

I would love to see your comments on this one... and your point of views...

Until the next post ...cheers and hope you have a wonderful weekend...:):)

My horse and my dog

Hello.. it's been a long time since I posted anything new in my blog... actually it was the time where I had my freedom back... everything is ok now.. the doctor said I am fine and I can do horseback riding again .... yeppyyyyy.... :):)


I know I sound crazy but it really was something I was looking for for a long time... now I go to the gym every other day... I still do not ride... I believe it will come in a while :):)

Back to the main subject stated in the title...

Last week was a horrible week for me... my horse got colic and he was about to die... the doctor gave him the necessary treatment and he is fine at the moment... I had to stay one whole night with him in the club.. Poor Jappeloup (this is his name by the way)

Also, I my poor jessy was colic as well, and was vomiting .... again... it seems it is something in the air, or because of the seasons change. She is again fine at the moment...

You know what???? having pets and living with them is such a bless... they give you the passion, they are faithful, funny, playful, and the best thing by far is that they do not talk... they are just quiet, they live a simple life, they worry about nothing, and they please our souls...

I will tell you... I am now in Retro cafe, using my friend's computer (Theodora)... she is a funny girl...

I will definitely post a piece about her... she came into my life by coincidence and I think she is a lovely person.... I have a lot to say about her... will read it in my next posted piece.

See ya next post

New photos for my dear female dog Jessy

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....
