The ride goes on

On this road called life, 
you have to take the good with the bad, 
smile with the sad, 
love what you got and remember what you had. .
.
Always forgive but never forget,
learn from your mistakes but never forget.
People change. Things go wrong.
Just remember, the ride goes on.

Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out. ~ Art Linkletter ~

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. ~ Viktor Frankl - from Man's Search For Meaning ~

We look for solutions in many places, but where is the solution? The solution is in the human heart. And the final say belongs to Allah.

Difficulties are opportunities to better things, they are stepping stones to greater experience.

Combretum indicum, also known as the Chinese honeysuckle or Rangoon creeper, one of mom's favourite. No more there now. 
Found this growing wildly in her garden, but had to clean them up... neighbour not happy about the unkept garden.

Allah has a plan for you...
you are exactly where HE wants you right now.

another day to celebrate... :)
I've a long list of friends in here and out who has taken teaching as a profession... all levels, tuition teacher, kindergarten teacher, school teacher, university teacher aka lecturer.. there's also ex-teachers, part-time teachers, special teachers and the list goes on and on.:D;)
Fact is, we're all educators in one way or another, some paid and some not. Therefore, it is a day we will all celebrate in the name of sharing and passing knowledge down to another. Educate for a better 'khalifah' to walk the earth, in the name of Allah..
Happy Teacher's Day.

What is, is.
What isn't, isn't.
You become so obsessed with what isn't that you miss what is.

my challenge was... white against white, candid, natural light.

At times, 
you may not like her,
you may get irritated by her,
you may even abandon her... 
But a mom will always be a mom.

A mother, thinks about her children day and night, even if they are not with her and will love them in a way they will never understand.

"And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final] destination." - Luqman(31):14
