'Give your heart a break for some time otherwise it will suffer a breakdown out of excessive strain.'
-Ali ibn Abu Talib
(may Allah be pleased with him)
I'm smiling now thinking about my afternoon spent with three lovely people. There was food , there were milkshakes and there was plenty of laughing. The strange thing is that I can't remember the last time I laughed like that. You know the type, the one that comes from a depth of your heart you never knew existed. The type you can't stop no matter the circumstance or the people around you. Laughter than eventually ends but you still remember the joys it brought you. Twas good, clean, innocent laughter with friends and it still makes me smile. Imagine a life without laughter, without joyous merriment with those you love and care about. Let's not imagine that for it would be a life without sunshine, you know , the sunshine that laughter brings as it tries its best to cleanse your heart of any sadness it may harbour for that moment of time.
Praise be to Allah, for providing us with this mean to lighten our hearts, momentarily.
wassalamu alaykum.

The words of Ali, you started your post with, are truly beauitful.
Is laughing fun! I mean, there is a time for worship (and yes, that should be the most important period of time) and then there is a period for just calm and fun. I love those periods. Alhamdulilah, while so many people around the world are suffering (and we should never forget that), Allah grants us some happiness, some escape from our worries, some ease for our hearts and much more.
Salamu Alaikum :)! You're doing a great job at this updating, so proud of you hehe. Also, beautifully written entry MashAllah.
That's my absolute favorite thing to do, be thankful for happy days!
Salamu 'Alakum Rummage!
I know you from a certain forum but I don't think you knew me =S That's ok, though! I'm the naive little girlie who wrote that death thread btw, the one you made a post about, which was thoroughly endearing, though I can't seem to locate it. Hahaha oh yes I have been stalking your blog for sometime now. This entery was awesome. Actually, in general I love your writing style! Really, I do. Yeah, I no I sound like a little Twilight fan girl =] (aren't you just sick to death of them?). Kudos to you sister!
wassalamu alaykum sister.
i send a warm welcome out to you, I hope you are doing well and that life is treating you in a kind manner. *screws head in thought*...bout the post i wrote,lol. i'd love to know who u r (on the forum I mean)...I'm obviously rummage...
thank u for the compliment , it means a great deal.
xxx, i hope to hear more from you
wassalamu alaykum , sister
i know , i know. :). May Allah have mercy on you, how are you now, sis?
I'm sooo slow,lol.
Haha yeah I never lasted long with one persona though. I felt I did myself very little justice on that particular forum (the one that must never be named!). You know I have matured immensely in the period between me then and now. I firmly believe that site bought out the absolute worst in me! And not to mention I insulted my beliefs on numerous occasions. Yes, it's weird I feel the need the to justify myself, but in all honesty I was a major idiot! Emphasis on was. Alhamdulilah I'm doing exceptional at the moment, I'm really striving to better myself spiritually, find inner peace I suppose. I think just below that stage you spoke of in one of your early posts; I'm not there but getting there. Only I want to pay particular attention on how I actually get there, it would be greet for it to just 'happen' but it's time I stopped using that expectation as an excuse to slack off^_^ InshAllah sister Allah (SWT) keeps you steadfast and headstrong, may He veil you from evil in it's entirety.
and I pray that you continue in your splendid journey.May Allah guide us to what is correct and proper. I guess it will be made easier if we help each other along the way.....which is why you've inspired me to write a post on how/what had pushed me into it all...and for that , I am gratfeul.
