Thank you for sharing. I often find that little prayers throughout the day are very uplifting.

Yes, thank you for sharing that information about Eid-Ul-Azha. It was very informative, especially since I am a Catholic and not familiar with the Muslim religion. As Webbie said, Thank you for sharing your faith with us.

I'm so glad you're here! This is a beautiful, honest and relatable exploration of your reactions to pain. I love your strength and desire to create positivity out of your suffering.

I consider myself highly sympathetic to Islamic values, and it's always nice to meet a Muslim lady

Also, I hope you don't mind having to read my action movie story at I Write

I don't know how sensitive you might be

Salaam alaikum

Thank you Humming Bird for such a great Biblical description about this sacred holiday the festival Eid-Ul-Azha. I love how all the people get together and share the sacrifice that feeds them.

The respect paid to the animal about to be sacrificed is honorable. It's really a festival of love and celebration. How beautiful!
Thank you for sharing a part of your faith with us.

EID MUBARAK!

Ditto what Webbie said. I think it's very heartwarming that Ahsina's parents can see how important you are to their daughter's life.

Teaching is your passion. That means you are a fabulous teacher. You love your job.

So sorry to know that in Bangladesh single women teachers are considered a bad omen. I guess some mothers don't want their daughters to grow up and want a life outside of getting married. It's too bad, because their children would have learned a lot from your teaching. And, NO dear parents who object, their young children are not going to be pulled into a "bad omen."

Thankful parents of the young girl Ahsina can see the wonderful teaching you are doing of their daughter. Both you, the mom and the child will have a long lasting bond of respect and love.

Humming Bird You have such a lovely outlook on life. And yes, those blessings that children share with you and you with them is so genuine. You are very loved. Some people don't even find the wonderful things in life to be truly grateful for.

I am thankful everyday. Sometimes it's just the little things. Other times, it's something wonderful and unexpected.

You have an amazing ability to love, thus YOU are loved.

Thank you so much for sharing a little bit about yourself. I can't imagine it's been easy, but it sounds like there's lots of love in your family.

Since 2020, I've tried to tap more into my spiritual side and I've been trying to get better in thanking the Lord for the things I'm grateful for on a daily basis. (I might make it part of my habit heroes

) Today, I'm thankful for time. I had time to work on cleaning my house, which is a struggle to find with my struggle and so I'm grateful that it was made available to me.

Humming Bird Welcome to the June 2025 Annual Blog Contest at The Bard's Hall. I'm so happy to see your entry and look forward to getting to know you better.

I love your choices of books listed. Such strong women characters!

I agree with StephBee There's a huge fan base for Little House, series. I'm a little envious she got to go to the 50th Anniversary.

I imagine growing up with four sisters did influence your reading, and you saw similarities between you and some of these characters.

I have 4 daughters and 1 son. But, yeah, I noticed the similarities in their favorite characters. I can see Little Women and Little House characteristics. Although they really got into the TV show The Brady Bunch! Not a classic novel ... but sister-power holds strong.

Looking forward to your entries.
