It's Raining :)

Yay! I love the rain and living here is Doha I don't get to see it very often. I am excited to be getting back on track, by the Mercy of Allah alone. I am planning to keep it liquid for a while and try to undo my mistakes from yesterday. I made a mistake but today is a new day, Alhamdulillah! The kids were so excited today to see the rain. They wanted to go out and play in it. They can't even imagine what it's like where I'm from. Hedaya, my oldest actually remembers the rain of Georgia. She was 3 when we moved here. Although, its only a weak memory at this point. I love the smell of the rain. I can often smell it coming even before it hits. Its like an old friend to me. I remember sitting out on my Mamas porch and reading a book while swinging in a hammock swing watching the rain, snuggled up with a blanket. Yes, I love the rain, masha'Allah how Allah nourishes the earth and brings life to the plants and all things. Yesterday we drove to Al-Khor which is usually a pretty boring drive from Doha through the boring dessert. However, it was very interesting, there are many grassy spots that have formed in the dessert. That is amazing to me, to see grass growing naturally in a place that was dusty dessert for the last 7 years. Allahu Akbar, Allah is the greatest! It's Amazing!
Anyway, I'm drinking my slim fast now, yum, yum...
I will update with my progress later, insha'Allah.
