What
sights are you thankful for?
Alhamdulillah
so many, I am a very visual person and enjoy beauty, coupled with the fact I
have very poor eyesight since childhood, I am thankful for so many of the
sights I have been blessed with, the ones that stick out are:
My
children’s beautiful faces
Pretty
clothes and jewellery, colourful scarves
The
sea and coastline from just about anywhere I can see it
Flowers
and plants from seedlings pushing through to flourishing blooms.
St
Michaels Mount in Cornwall, like something from a fairy tale
The
Falls
of Falloch waterfall at Loch Lomond, in Scotland
Durdles
Door in Dorset
Watching
the sun
rise at Boscombe beach on a cold morning with my husband.
A
stack of books waiting to be read, even better libraries
Children’s
books illustrations, such variety and never boring
Islamic
art and architecture
The
Shalimar Mughal pleasure gardens in Lahore (near my in-laws house)
Hennaed
hands
The covered courtyard at the British Museum, not to mention all the other treasures
The gem and mineral collection at the Natural History Museum (much to my children’s despair, as they try to steer me away from “boring rocks”)
This Green Chalcedony, reminds me of the sea:
A
clean room and an organised desk.
A field of bluebells
Peaceful forests and fallen trees to clamber over.
Pictures drawn by my children with funny looking little mummy's in them.
Watching
my children sleep when they were little (now I just spend all my time trying to
wake them up)
My
parents faces, especially when they are happy to see me.
My
favourites? The first time I laid eyes
on the Kaaba and Masjid Nabwi (ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa
sallam, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), simply unforgettable alhamdulillah.
What
sights are you thankful for?
