Things I said Alhumdulillah for in December 2019…
Alhumdulillah means “All Praise is due to God” and are the words uttered by a Muslim when he/she is expressing gratitude to Allah. I find myself saying this numerous times a day and this post is a collection of moments when I have said Alhumdulilah during the past month.
Things I said Alhumdulillah for in December:
- Celebrating UAE National Day with the family in the great outdoors, filled with long drives, food and laughter.
- Enjoying an Indian Thaali lunch with one of my favourite souls and her family, Tani, who I have been blessed to connect with over the past few years. As sad as I am to see her leave Dubai, I’m excited for the next expat journey in Singapore.
- Cheering on Master Z at his Sport’s Day! The boy did us proud, and was full of waves and smiles!
- Watching Master Z bake whilst Little Z giggled away as he made his own “Roti” at Baker’s Kitchen. Perfect activity to get us in the cosy winter mood.
- Rain and grey moody skies.
- Managing to make a quick trip to the salon in between all the chaos. Because #SelfCare innit?
- Surviving a 7 hour flight with both my boys to the UK for our winter holidays at my parent’s.
- Staying in London for a couple of days, and enjoying all the festive lights and decorations! Soo soo pretty!
- Watching the boys make memories and laugh with their grandparents and Uncle A!
- Watching Master Z be at one with nature, searching for earthworms in his wellies and learning to ride a bike with his granddad.
- Long chats with my baby brother, who isn’t so little anymore, about anything and everything.
These are just a few of the many times I uttered the words Alhumdulillah this month. Check out what I was thankful for last month here. Also, here’s a list of what I was thankful for in December last year! What are you thankful for? Feel free to share your moments in the comments section below.
