sometimes....

we allow life to become more complicated than it needs to be, and sometimes we make life more complicated for ourselves so that we have less time to fill, dealing with our inner selves and the chaos that can abound *in there*

this time prior to making hijrah needs to be a period of reflection and self evaluation, I need to be honest with myself about changes that need to be made, and I need to have clear goals in mind for this next stage in my family's life.

this is no small step we are taking and will change the whole dynamic of our lives, so thought and careful consideration will need to be used in the run up to our leaving for Algeria and in our settling down over there.

Allah bless us with sabr, ameen
