I sometimespoke around my blog to see.

To see howfar I have travelled.

To seewhether I have actually grown or whether this growth is a figment of my imagination.

To understandjust how many dragons I have slain and which of them have wounded me so deeply thatthe scars from those battles still hurt, even now.

Just tosee.

The richnessand depth of this life I have been blessed with.

The ways inwhich I have used Allah’s favours on me to leave my little slice of the world awee bit better, brighter, softer.

To see.

And always,I come away from this trip through my memory feeling more thankful. Armed witha deeper appreciation for Allah’s favours on me no matter how hard the Test ofThe Day is proving to be.

So I’mpopping in here, now, to remind myself of the reasons I have for thankfulnessbecause the Test of the Day, today is heavy. And my arms feel much too weak tocarry it.

Deep downthough, I know, that Allah is helping me carry this load and when I can go nofurther on my own strength, He will carry me.

So if, likeme, you’re shouldering something that feels much too large, much too much, takeheart. You are not alone. You are never alone. So cry, heart, but don’t youbreak.
