Gratitude Stories

A young Muslim girl, raised with dreams of love, peace, and a simple life, finds herself stepping into the world of an arranged cousin marriage. At first, it feels like a duty more than a choice-family expectations weigh heavy, traditions tie her down, and her voice feels too small to be heard. Marriage, she thought, would bring security and companionship, but instead, she faces struggles she never imagined. Balancing her identity as a woman, a wife, and a believer, she must navigate the silence of being misunderstood, the challenges of adjusting to a new household, and the loneliness of fighting battles in her heart while keeping a smile on her face. Her faith becomes her anchor, teaching her patience (sabr), trust in Allah (tawakkul), and the strength to rise from every fall. This is not just a story of hardship-it's a story of resilience. A story of how a girl transforms into a woman who learns that marriage isn't only about compromise, but also about finding her voice, her strength, and her path to closeness with Allah.

Some random thoughts and ideas for modern life. As I add aphorisms, I'm more and more certain that these thoughts may come across as pretentious and immodest. After all what right do I have to spout off? My wish is that these statements be considered nothing more than observations. Sure many come from life and life experience, but often they are the representation of something I have read or noted; a summary of sorts. Some readers agree and expand on the aphorism, others disagree, and also expand. That's great!

If and only if Isaac Newton is alive I might personally give this letter to him. A letter for appreciation!!!

A poem I wrote about the true nature of my cousin's wife.

College life isn't just about lectures, exams, and friendships-it's also about silent battles no one notices. This story follows a college girl who believes life has been unfair to her, filling her days with complaints she never questions. Between crowded classrooms, unspoken expectations, and emotional exhaustion, she feels lost and unheard. But one ordinary day changes everything. Through a small yet powerful realization, she learns that pain doesn't disappear by complaining-and healing begins the moment we choose gratitude, strength, and self-awareness. The Day I Stopped Complaining is an emotional journey of growth, self-reflection, and quiet transformation that many students will see themselves in. A gentle reminder that sometimes, the biggest change happens within us.

When I was younger, I didn't understand my mom. Her strict rules, her quiet sacrifices - they felt like overreactions. But as I grew older, life revealed the truth behind her words and actions. This is a true story about a mother's strength, silent love, and the lessons that only made sense once I entered adulthood.

SOMETHING I SHOULD'VE SAID MORE OFTEN - I LOVE YOU

A Catholic prayer journal is not merely a notebook-a journal is sacred ground where your heart encounters God. It slows us down, makes us look back, and causes us to listen. Life gets loud, yet this humble practice is one that brings peace and clarity. If you're new to journaling or need to begin again, the following four steps will guide you into creating a sincere, personal, and spiritually productive journal. Faith leaders like Thom O'Leary encourage us to live intimately with God, not just by reading Scripture, but by letting it have an impact on our daily life. Prayer journaling is one of the most practical and genuine ways by which we can just do that.

This is just a book to celebrate this Marvelous Day! Hope you all enjoy your day! I purple you all! #65 In graditude #534 in appreciation #414 in appreciation
