Yes, I unboxed this little beauty in my PJ’s. Deal with it.

Reminders
Today, I’m thankful for reminders.
I’m thankful for general reminders, of the sort captured by an iPhone app of the same name. I’m prone to forgetting and in need of gentle nudges to action.
I’m thankful for more metaphysical reminders, reminders of my great fortune and health, reminders of my humanity, my frailty, my incapacity, my lack. Truly, all have sinned and fallen short of the grace of God, and truly, Allah alone is perfect and without error. All praise and thanks be to Him.
I’m especially thankful of reminders of Allah, Himself, of His power, His majesty, His mercy, His guidance, His plan. And I’m grateful for His constant reminders to all of us, whether we notice and take heed or not, as we are human, imperfect, and in need of gentle nudges to action. Indeed, we are in constant need of Him. La ilaha il Allah!
Recognizing Errors
Today, I’m grateful for the ability to recognize errors, while I still have time to correct them.
InshaAllah, there’s still time to correct them. Continue reading “Recognizing Errors”
Community
Today, I’m thankful for community. I’m grateful to be a small, insignificant part of some larger group, grateful for the support and brother/sisterhood, the understanding and friendship, even the quarrels that come from participating in things with other humans.* Continue reading “Community”
Lazy Sundays
Today, on a rainy, cool Sunday, I’m thankful for rainy, cool, lazy Sundays, with not much in the way of chores or tasks ahead, time to sleep in, reflect on the week just past and the week ahead, and spend quality time with family.
Alhamdulillah! Continue reading “Lazy Sundays”

Ramadan Kareem!
As of about 8:30pm CST here in DFW, the blessed guest has arrived. All praise and thanks be to God!
Ramadan is such a blessing: the devils are chained, so we can’t blame any of our sins on them; the doors of forgiveness have been thrown wide open, and so there’s no excuse for us not to earn His mercy; for thirty full days, we don’t have to worry about eating or drinking during the day and can focus more on remembering Allah.
Alhamdulillah! Continue reading “Ramadan Kareem!”
