*~ 24 ~*

Assalaamu Alaikum :)

IT'S 12:30 am!

SQUEEKY

IS

24 YEARS OLD!

oOoOoOo

No, I am not that excited about my birthday haha Just really wanted to do that.

There's just something about that age. I don't like the sound of it *grr*

Anyways, I think back to everything I have gone through, have accomplished in these years of my life and I must say, I am so pleased with myself. Ever since I was little, there were certain things I wanted to attain for myself and I feel I have finally done so with most of them. Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala has blessed me with another year in this world and insha'Allah I will do my best to make this year more fulfilling than the last.

I feel like a grown-up. I think that is why this age is taking a while to settle with me. I will always consider myself young and silly and immature at times because it makes me feel youthful :) It is so important to keep yourself entertained and happy. But I have come to realize that I'm not a little girl anymore (even though I still look like I'm 16 and am still mistaken for one, which, is not a complaint ;) )

I am so happy with where my life is taking me. I don't ever question myself: "Where is my life going? What am I doing with myself?" It is such a blessed feeling. I feel I am blessed because of the opportunities Allah Swt has provided me with and I am using them to the best of my abilities. My professional life is showing strengths in me which I did not realize existed. Teaching Kindergarten students has not only taught me so much about children, but most importantly ... life. How to deal with everyday situations. It is all related. This is the first time I feel age is actually making me wiser tee hee Alhamdulillah. I have been expanding my knowledge upon Islam on a regular basis and it really is a spiritual high. Subhana'Allah, I have always wanted to better myself as a Muslimah and I actually feel I am doing so. I am sure anyone would understand what a great feeling that is. I have a beautiful family and relatives, which I have now realized look out for me a great deal. Oh, and the love of my life! The gym. I am so proud of myself for going so regularly. I thought I would be good for the first month and then just drop it after that but the results I have been seeing encourages me to continue. It not only helps you physically, but mentally as well. It really makes you feel good! haha That reminds me of something one of my co-workers said about her brother making up his own motto for the gym: "Get a life ... at GoodLife" ...

I have been expressing myself through this blog for a couple of years now. And I feel it is time to give it a break. I will not be terminating the blog, of course not, it's too special to me to do such a thing :) hehe But, updates are not to be expected unless something crazy happens in my life and I'm just dying to share it with friends/strangers haha Knowing me, that only happens about once every few months. I won't be going through this transition abruptly, but gradually, insha'Allah. Now that I'm thinking of writing in here less, in the next couple of months I will just flood it with posts ... la la la ...

I feel it will be a good year, insha'Allah. Even if the number does not really appeal to me hehe I will make this year a wonderful one :)

Oh, 24 .... what do you have in store for me?

Happy birthday :) It's good that you have a direction in life, which is more than I can say for myself at this point :D You are awesome.

But I disagree with not posting as often anymore. This makes me sad. How about you post whenever you bake something, with pictures? This is a feasible option for my selfish self ;)

Happy Birthday!!!! It's good to take time for yourself but come back soon :) Aww, I agree with Asmaa, at least post pics when you bake something - you can't leave us hungry like that! Hehe.. c'mon, I bet you made a cake for your birthday...!

BTW did you get into the teaching program at York? One of my friend's might have a class with you!!

You and your surprise appearances! *hugs* How have you been?! JazaakAllahu khairaa for the du'as, I need them and will make the same for you! ameen :D
Asmaa:
Aww, you're sweet. I'll make du'a for you that it gets easier for you :) I think I'm liking the idea of a "dessert picture blog" hehe Thanks!
'liya:
JazaakAllahu khairaa. And have I become that predictably pathetic that you guessed I made a cake for myself :(
Ahmed:
