Hello, Scribblers. How is everyone doing? I had a jolt of inspiration about how I would use this wonderful platform. It is a bit of a cringe one, though. I plan to use the platform as a Twitter-ish and/or Instagram-ish post, i.e., short text with or without photos.
I stumbled upon the Fifty In 50 idea, i.e., fifty blog posts in 50 days, on Forking Mad's page. This exciting idea will enable me to write and publish for the next 50 days and beyond. The original idea was to use Lou Plummer's prompts. However, I will make a slight change. Just write and hit the publish button. I plan to write about: • How do I feel today? • What did I learn? • Something I'm grateful for. • What do I want to remember from today? • Random thoughts. • Bookish...
O Martyrs of Gaza! Our hearts bleed for you. Our leaders have betrayed you. Lo and Behold, Allah SWT has chosen to elevate your ranks. O Martyrs of Gaza! How beloved are you to Allah SWT, His Messenger SAW, His Prophets, His Angels & His Servants! You are our pride and honour. Allah SWT has honoured you. O Martyrs of Gaza! You are now amongst the martyrs of the past, the present, and the future. You are amongst the Blessed Angels. You are amongst our Beloved Prophet SAW and his blessed Companions. You are under the Protection of the Most High....
Today, I got the book. "What They Don't Teach You About Money" by Claer Barrett, delivered by Amazon. I could use a bit of help in sorting out my finances. I'm interested in personal finance and frugal living. I'm on a journey to read and implement sound financial advice for building long-term generational wealth.
Today, I got invited for Iftar. I broke my fast surrounded by good food and company. Then, we went to pray at my friend's local Mosque in Manchester. I had a good time.
Today, I had a good day. I was productive. I could focus on my tasks and achieve my daily goals. Over the past few days, I felt a bit off, but something is clicking right now. I have started to meditate and reflect on my journal. Journaling has given me some clarity of thought and work on my emotions. I can see myself moving forward and am grateful for that. I fancied a mean burger, so I cooked one. It was delicious.
Today, I noticed a sense of tiredness and apathy towards life. I have been feeling down for the past few days and am unsure what's causing it. Whenever I feel this way, I have resorted to prayer and walking. They both always help. I purchased the Be Useful book. I have looked up to Arnie as a boy, as a teenager, and now as an adult. I look forward to reading his book and implementing some of his ideas into my daily life.
Today is my 39th birthday, and I feel mixed emotions about it. Looking back on the past year of my life, I see good and bad times. The most significant moment was becoming a father on September 1st, 2023. Since then, my life has taken on a new meaning and purpose. I'm approaching a significant milestone in life as I will soon turn 40 years old. It's an important year, and I'm reflecting on everything I've experienced. I have lived a relatively carefree and pampered life. When I realise the finitude of life, I intend to pursue growth and excellence...
Welcome! I intend to use it as a journal to scribble and ponder, share photos & my daily musings. This experiment is on progress over perfection. One post at a time. After all, every great accomplishment starts from humble beginnings. Onwards & Upwards.
