A dream of Mama

Lately, I have been having dreams of my mom. The dreams aren't spectacular or anything but she appears in them as if she were still living with us, dreams like I used to have before her passing. Last night I dreamed we were all visiting in Sudan. We were driving, sort of like on a road trip or something, and we went to visit Mamduha and her family. Sudan had changed! We were driving this ity bity car (we were quite squished with five people) and we passed by this really pretty beach. Mama wanted to stop and take a break, I guess to stretch her legs as she was in the back seat with my sisters. I wanted to stop too take some photos of the beautiful beach only for it to suddenly be filled with a bunch of tourist! then we went to some opera house for a show, though I can't remember what the show was going to be about. She didn't do much talking, but she was their, enjoying our company as we were enjoying hers. Interesting dream, but it was so nice having her around again.

Gypsy in my blood

My feet are itching.
My fingers are twirling.
I'm filled with restlessness.
I got to go.
I got to do.
I got to see,
see more of the world around me.

I got gypsy in my blood no doubt.
Been in one place so long,
I am just worn out,
of the mundane. Over and over again
to the same song.

The gypsy in me is calling out.
Got to go.
Got to do.
Got to see,
see more of the world around me

Give a little of yourself

I love this song and the message it gives. Everyday we should give a little of ourselves to help others. Ghandi said, be the change that you want to see in the world. The only way we can do that is by giving a little of our love, hope, wealth, compassion, and expertise everyday.

Thundersnow!

I'm sound asleep, dreaming of fairies, princes, magical kingdoms and lots of food. Suddenly, a loud CRACK! BOOM!! BANG wakes me from my fantastical dream. LOL, okay so I wasn't dreaming about fairies, princes and magical kingdoms. But I was awakened by loud thunder this morning around 5:20 or 30ish. I ran to the window to see my lawn, street and everything else covered in snow and snowing. So what was that loud boom if it was not raining? They call it, "Thundersnow".

Thundersnow, also known as a winter thunderstorm or a thunder snowstorm, is a rare thunderstorm with snow falling as the primary precipitation instead of rain. It commonly falls in regions of strong upward motion within the cold sector of extratropical cyclones between autumn and spring when surface temperatures are most likely to be near or below freezing.

Well, I really had hoped we wouldn't get snow this winter, but since we got it anyway, I will just have to be thankful. It really is pretty outdoors! And i am skipping work today (the silver lining?)

Alhamdulillah ala kullu hal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winter is Here!!!!

........and it is too coooooooold! Just when the snow starts to melt away forecast says we will get more snow=(
