This year i have encountered a family member, an in law or a friend who are not in the best of health, then i always (everyday) give thanks to our dear lord for the good health. When i think of the victims of calamities nationally and globally and looking at the faces and tears of their loved ones, i thank our dear lord (everyday) from sparing me from such tragedies. There was a moment when i was busy in my kitchen and overheard from a news program of a housewife in tears as she lost all the members of the family in Tacloban. My tears wanted to drop on the food i was cooking. How life can be so hurtful at times like these.

There are moments i cannot believe that i am back in this mountain city , when i was used to be living within different cultures. When one day in June of 2010, i felt something was not right anymore about Egypt, and trusting my gut feel i disposed all my belongings and apartment with the help of my very dear Egyptian friends and left my second home of many years by August of the same year.
As i continue to learn about life, I never stop learning. I continue to polish my present craft as a professor in one of the leading university in the city. There are temptations and offers to join the corporate world. I leave these options to our Lord , he knows best. I have proven this to be true lots of times.
I continue to pray for a fruitful and productive year 2014. I know there will be challenges. As always i have faced whatever challenges comes in. I also learned two things today ( Christmas day). One, I can never depend on people who seem to ask about my welfare but in all honesty there is no sincerity in sharing even a small blessing. Two, i should learn more not to be too trusting on people who love to multi task. When i give my time to be accommodating but in the process i am just part of the mult tasking, then it really is not healthy.
Nevertheless, i do not complain, i do not whine. I enjoy the simple things in life what ever the Lord offers.
Merry Christmas and all the best for 2014.
