Wishing well......

My blog has been attacked! .... HELP!!

Big breath now..... breathe in..... breathe out..... there.... isn't that better?

As always, I'd like to say that I love the diversity of the comments that I receive. It keeps me focused, it keeps me centered and it constantly keeps me amazed at the friends that I've been blessed to meet up with on this blog. I enjoy reading each and every one of you.

In the past I've had some diverse comments that I've not always agreed with. And I've had others that have brought me to my knees in thankfulness and gratitude at the wise perception of some. I've always kept an open mind to what others have been saying to me.....and at the same time, not letting my mood be influenced by the comments here.

I remain that way.

So how about a wish? Don't we all have one? I threw my 2 cents into that well and made one.....any guesses?

I spent the day in Toronto recently. Oh what fun!! We took the bus there and the subway and wandered around the Eaton Center.....It has been 22 yrs since I've stepped foot there. There was much to see and lots of outdoor entertainment.....

The man playing the buckets was full of energy, throwing his sticks and banging out a rhythm that probably sounded good to him.....I was pretty convinced that my own son could produce something better....(always a mother...*wink)

We spent a glorious 12 hours together...Mr Anonymous and myself......

We held hands most of the time, and even kissed in public....OH MY!! (never thought I'd do that....) Every so often, Mr Anonymous would whisper in my ear....you look so pretty....<-----insert SIGH here......

How can I read the comments I have and think muslim/non muslim? Where does that fit in? It doesn't. I've long come to the conclusion that I lived in a sort of vacuum, taught by the Salaf of Egypt and subject to their perverse views of what should be and what shouldn't.

So now I walk along the path of the righteous, without a name beside me. Oh, unless of course it's Sharon.....I'm starting to warm up to it. :-)

Also this Easter weekend, we spent a few hours at the park with the children. We played frisbee, lacrosse and ate more oranges than we should have. (My son's diaper proved this the next day....ewwwwww!)

My now 6 yr old had great fun on the swings.....Mr Anonymous was pushing her.....he also put the baby on the big twirly slide.....Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

One of the interesting events of this day was that a little girl was swinging next to my daughter and she asked the 6 yr old what her fathers name is.....she answered..."amu Hossny".

Interesting.

For any of you who speak arabic "amu" means uncle. Not how you would call your father.

Note to self: Some things in life are just passing...passing...passing..........long gone.
