The hand that rocks the cradle

Bismillah.

Alhamdulillah wa shukrulillah.

The feeling you get when your mother says "thank you" to you for having surprised her with something that touched her heart.

It's true the saying by Orison Swett Marden (1850-1924):
"Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities.
Seize common occasions
and make them great."

What common occasion did you seize today to gladden someone's heart?

I organized the pantry.
[It's still work-in-progress, though. LOL]

We have to praise the Almighty Allah for good ideas that visit us each day. Got this idea last night, to honor my mom and tonight the design got manifested, fairly quickly much to my surprise.

A custom-designed blinds with this logo:

This made my mother smile! It's going to be a backdrop for our most favorite nook of da houze.

May Allah grant us more and more for the utmost gratitude we express. Alhamdulillahi hamdan yuwafi ni'amahu wa yukafi umazidah.

Go ahead, do something sweet to make your mother happy today. Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Every day is mother's day.

Wish y'all Malaysians, a safe and happy Chinese New Year weekend.

Jumaah Mubarak!
