"You've got a smile that can light up this whole town"

I wish I was lounging right there.

Somedays are better than others.

On good days, you wake up and everything is right.

Yes, you woke up 2 hours after the alarm went off.

Yes, you kinda missed your pending appointments, and there's lots to do, but you don't seem to care.

This day, you trick yourself and tell yourself that everything can wait, time will be your friend and you'll get everything crossed off your list of pending errands.

You take a glance of your French press thats brewing with hot scrumptious coffee and you smile, the milk is at the right temperature and the cup looks so inviting.

It's just you, the coffee, the couch and your laptop as you watch a sappy chick-click and smile.

Perfect start to a choc-bloc full day.

Wishing you a daily dose of zen,

Doesn't this make you feel lucky?

One always forgets how much he/she has been endowed, and One seldom gives thanks.

"الحمدالله على كل حال من الأحوال"/ Thank God for everything, the good, the bad and everything in between.

When Walls Have Faces OF Their Own..

Only then, will the following statement be true; "ساعات أحس إني أكلم طوفه"

Haha, no but really, I give you Dan Bergeron's: Faces of the City, in which he attempts to give those shabby walls we pass by everyday some character. 

Street Art, Vandalism or Petty Entertainment for Passers-by?  

"Bergeron is best known for his subversive and thought-provoking public street installations. His most recent body of work, Faces of the City, juxtaposes the abrasive charm of the distressed surfaces of modern cities with the intimate familiarity of the human face. As the walls and surfaces of the city define its physical character and spatial identity, the faces of its inhabitants provide the city with its personality, disposition and magnetism. His fusion of the two explores the idea that beauty truly lies in the scars, wrinkles and blemishes of places we live and people we meet." from Show and Tell Gallery

What would be scandalous about this is whether if "الطوفه اترد عليك"/ the wall would reply back?

Personification at it's best.

"عيدكم مبارك"

Our holy guest is departing us, Ramadan is on the last leg of it's yearly visit.

It's been a blast, hibernating all day, socializing all evening, and praying all night. But now it's time to get back on track, back to coffee in the morning, sleeping early, and getting things done/being more productive.

Time to reboot sleeping patterns in time for tomorrow.

I wish you all an enjoyable, relaxing and happy Eid.

عيدكم مبارك وعساكم من عواده العيد
