The name of my blogsite is The Reflections Corner. It is only fitting then that I end the year and welcome the new one by doing just that – Reflecting.
The year started of for me with a bang, full of joy, expectations and hope. Like an eager child, I looked forward to the happy moments that were to come. Yet Allah (God) had other plans. He changed the course of my life that it was take and instead gave it a new meaning.
2015 – a year of peaks of joy and troughs of pain. However I have (i hope) learnt many lessons on humilty, patience, faith, sacrifice and compromise. Allah was supposed to have gifted me my baby boy in 2015 – instead He has gifted me something as precious – the opportunity to come closer to Allah. And for that, I am grateful.
Today is the first day of a new year – 2016. Like the previous year, I start this year with optimism, joy (albiet bittersweet), hope, and expectation. What this year will bring me, only Allah knows. But whatever it is, in whichever shape or form, I am confident it will be for my good. I set no New Year Resolutions except one – to be content and accept whatever Allah puts in my way.
Let us start the year with Bismillah and pray for the best.
