Cov-eid 2020

Never thought there would actually come a day where we celebrate eid, the way we did yesterday. it was simple, close knit, no balik kampung, no going from one house to another house. Just a meal with close family and those few that couldn't go back to their parents. It's both sad and eye-opening too. It's sad because we all know deep down that raya can be so much more, involve more family, visiting those we don't usually visit, ensuring bonds are not broken, wishing well for everyone. 

But it's surprisingly eye opening because it wasn't as sad as it sounds, mainly because, through all of this, we have learnt

to be more grateful of what we do have.We have a roof upon our head, good food served on the table, have people we love and who loves us too whether near or far, some social interaction and good health alhamdulillah. The act of being grateful has made us all more positive, more thankful and not as sad as all of us expected to be, because at the end of the day, we have so many good things other than what we want, we have good things that were always around us, but less appreciated. Every little thing that Allah has showered upon us deserves our gratefulness.

So, Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir dan Batin.

May this newly found spirit of being thankful, grateful and positive continuously be a part of who we are till the end of our days.
