بستغرب من تصرفات بعض البنات المتزوجات من الجيل الجديد، إللي بتسب على زوجها او إللي بتعلي صوتها عليه إذا ما عجبها كلامه، و اللي بتنكد عليه عيشته إذا ما عمل اللي بدها ياه، و يا الله البنات اللي بركضوا يشكو لأهاليهم عن كم الشب ظالمهم ناسين أو متناسين إنو لو هي سامحته أهلها مش رح يسامحوا اللي “غلط” في بنتهم، و هاد كلام أنا متأكده منو ١٠٠% لسبب بسيط.. أهلك يا بنت يا عاقله ما بشوفوا زوجك زي مع إنتي شايفتيه

  عشت ٢٦ سنه لا عمري سمعت ماما بتعلي صوتها على بابا ولا حتى حكتلو كلمة “ولك” ولو عن مزح، يا ترى ليه؟؟ لأنها ما بتقدر؟؟ لأ طبعا بس لأنو في “إحترام”، شو ما صار بينهم بضل الإحترام أساس التعامل

قبل ٤ سنين لما بنت خالتي  قررت تتزوج ما كانت امها راضيه عن زواجها، من غير تفاصيل ما إلها داعي، ماما مسكتها و حكتلها عن أمامة بنت الحارث و عن الوصايا إللي أي أم ممكن توصيهم لبنتها (بحكم إنو ماما زي امها و بتمون

شو جاب على بالي هاد الكلام؟ وحده صاحبه إلي منكده على زوجها عيشته بدها شنطة ب ١٣٠٠$ لراس السنه (على شو ب ١٣٠٠$ ؟ لا تسألوني) … المهم دورت لحد ما لقيت النص اللي ماما كانت تحكي عنه

هذه وصيه أم صالحه لابنتها قبل زواجها

 

خلت الأم الصالحة العاقلة البليغة أمامة بنت الحارث خلت بابنتها في ليلة زفافها وأهدت إليها هذه الوصية الغالية

 

قالت الأم لابنتها: أي بنية إن الوصية لو تركت لفضل أدب لتركت ذلك لك ولكنها تذكرة للغافلة ومعونة للعاقلة

 

أي بنية: لو أن امرأة استغنت عن الزوج، لغنى أبويها وشدة حاجتهما إليهما، لكنت أغنى الناس عنه، ولكن النساء للرجال خلقن، ولهن خلق الرجال، فخذي وصيتي فإن فيها تنبيه الغافل ومعون للعاقل

 

أي بنية: إنك فارقت الجو الذي منه خرجت، وخلفت العيش الذي فيه درجت، إلى وكر لم تعرفيه، وقرين لم تأليفه، فأصبح بملكه عليه رقيباً ومليكاً، فكوني له أمة يكن لك عبداً

 

واحفظي له خصالاً عشراً تكن لك ذخراً

 

أما الأولى والثاني: فالخضوع له بالقناعة، وحسن السمع له والطاعة

 

وأما الثالثة والرابعة: فالتفقد لمواضع عينه وأنفه، فلا تقع عينه منك على قبيح، ولا يشم منك إلا طيب ريح

 

وأما الخامسة والسادسة: فالتفقد لوقت منامه وطعامه فإن تواتر الجوع ملهبة، وتنغيص النوم مغضبة

 

وأما السابعة والثامنة : فالاحتراس لماله والإرعاء على حشمه وعياله ، وملاك الأمر في المال حسن التدبير وفي العيال حسن التقدير

 

وأما التاسعة والعاشرة: فلا تعصي له أمراً، ولا تفشي له سراً فإنك إن خالفت أمره أوغرت صدره، وإن أفشيت سره لم تأمني غدره

 

ثم إياك والفرح بين يديه إن كان مغتماً، والكآبة بين يديه إن كان فرحاً

 

صعبين؟؟ والله لأ .. ليش الناس بصير معها شغلات غريبه أنا ما بعرف… الله يعين الناس

“Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it, and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work – and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.” ~ Lucille Ball

My friends and I have a little pet phrase we say when one or the other of us doing something a little crazy or expecting some dramatic result. We say, sarcastically and with eyebrows raised, “Good luck with that.” Luck doesn’t exist. Sure, you can be in the “right place” at the “right time” but opportunity isn’t going to knock unless you are expecting it to show up. Working hard towards a goal is the fastest way to invite opportunity into your life. Sitting on your duff and expecting life to hand something over to you is absurd. Work hard, work often and opportunity will come.

I believe it was Thomas Edison who explained “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” Boy was he right. And so is Lucille when she tells us we must realize what opportunity is and what isn’t. So many options are available to us today that it is often difficult to determine the good from the bad. So many rabbit trails, so little time… This is where goal setting comes in to play. Knowing what you want, who you want to be and where you want to be can help you filter out the distractions that turn out to be rabbit trails. (Rabbit trails are bad. Remember Alice in Wonderland? She followed the little white rabbit and look what happened to her.) You have to look for and recognize the gritty overalls – those are your true opportunities.

To every guy that’s said, “You’re beautiful.”
To every guy that was never too busy to drive across town (or across the state) to see her.
To every guy that gives flowers and a card when she is sick.
To every guy who has given her flowers just because.
To every guy that said he would die for her.
To every guy that really would.
To every guy that did what she wanted to do.
To every guy that cried in front of her.
To every guy that she cried in front of.
To every guy that holds hands with her.
To every guy that kisses her with meaning.
To every guy that hugs her when she’s sad.
To every guy that hugs her for no reason at all.
To every guy who would give their jacket up for her.
To every guy that calls to make sure she got home safe.
To every guy that would sit and wait for her for hours just to see her for ten minutes
To every guy that would give his seat up.
To every guy that reassured her that she was beautiful no matter what.
To every guy who told his secrets to her.
To every guy that tried to show how much he cared through every word and every breath.
To every guy that thought maybe this could be the one.
To every guy that believed in her dreams.
To every guy that would have done anything so she could achieve them.
To every guy that never laughed at her when she told him her dreams.
To every guy that walked her to her car.
To every guy that gave his heart.
To every guy who prays that she is happy even if you are not with her.

…This is for you…

Not many girls appreciate nice guys anymore… And because of this, there are not many left out there…

That’s all from where I sit.

Besides the word “can’t,” there are two other words that I just don’t like.  The words “I wish”.  To me, the words “I wish” are equivalent to the words “I can’t”.  It drives me nuts when people sit around and say “I wish this would happen” or “I wish I could do this…”  I literally scratch my head and think why aren’t they making that happen?  If you find yourself saying “I wish” then something in your world isn’t quite they way you want it to be.  Change it.  And don’t tell me you “can’t”. 

I beg you.. PLEASE , mashan Allah, enough with the elections, Allah y5aleekom, I’ve been reading about elections on EVERY SINGLE BLOG for more than a month now.

Have you ever tried to sit completely still? Sounds easy, doesn’t it? Just grab the remote and sit in front of the TV. Haven’t we all done that at one time or another? Nothing wrong with that. We all need a break now and then.Now flip to the end of the spectrum…ever had moments where you can’t sit still? Happens to me all the time. I can’t just sit and not do anything. It’s hard! Even if my physical body isn’t moving, my mind is going 90 miles an hour and I’m probably thinking about all the things I could be doing if I weren’t just sitting there.

The worst case scenario for me is to be stuck someplace where I have to just sit and be attentive – ugh! If I am not interested or I can’t participate, at least grant me permission to get lost in my own thoughts. That is an adventure in itself.Today’s chance words of wisdom come from Annie Oakley, who claims:

 We often hear “the sky is the limit” yet we’ve launched people to the moon and back. No matter what limitations there seem to be in life, someone is always striving to push past them. One needs to look no further than the sports realm where records get broken every day. Records for speed, distance and strength. Where does it end?

A quote that tops my list of favorites comes from tennis star Martina Navratilova who once stated

“I think the key is for women not to set any limits.”

I noticed right away that she did not say “I think the key is for people not to set any limits.”  She said the key is for WOMEN not to set any limits.  Why?  Because most of the time we ladies tend to set the limits ourselves and then blame other factors for our failure to move ahead.  We impose our own limitations.

It may sound a bit far fetched to point the finger at ourselves, but honestly, why shouldn’t we?  Someone else may be telling us we “can’t” achieve success, but we are in fact setting that barrier for ourselves by accepting the notion.  In order to push past our personal road blocks, we have to change the way we think about what we are capable of doing and who we are capable of becoming.  Much like an athlete who believes that she is perfectly capable of breaking the next world record, we have to believe that we can achieve what we set out to do without limitations.

Changing our mindset is a process, but one that is immeasurably fulfilling.  Whose limitations are you accepting into your life right now and why?  What are you going to do to remove them?
