Another year has gone and what have i achieved in 2006? It all seems like a blur to me but i have included a few of my highlights and one lowlight:
1. Moving House - although the rooms are much smaller, the house is newer and in a better area, no more police sirens blaring 24/7 i noticed that even the cats in the neighbourhood are more civilised than the last! When u have less room you also realise how much junk you have accumulated and i cleared out a lot of stuff i didnt need which was good
2.Starting university/passing Access course - returning to education is difficult but alhumdulillah the transition has been smooth but at times very stressful
3.Settling my son into school with no major hiccups
4.Beginning to learn to read Arabic - a major achievement for me, now the trick is not to forget everything i have learnt ...........
5. My son appearing in a calendar with 2 of his friends, 1500 have been printed to be distributed locally by the council.
6.i compiled an islamic quiz book for children about 3 years ago, spent 2 years trying to get it published, finally i gave the rights to all the work to a muslim family magazine who will publish it piecemeal!!!
7.continuing to contribute to my local community despite a busy hectic life
8. getting satellite television and broadband in the same month!!i have years of catching up to do!!
the lowlight is the constant media onslaught of Muslims and the physical or emotional torture of innocent Muslims all over the globe, whether it is oppression, terror charges, slaying, harassing, abusing, if you're Muslim your fair game.
